"Automated "mini air defense" for FPV drones

"According to RBK-Ukraine, the centerpiece of the presentation was the Mini Air Defense System (MADS), an automated platform designed to detect, track, and destroy small aerial targets, including FPV drones, quadcopters, and fixed-wing UAVs.

"The company said the system can engage targets flying at speeds of up to 300 km/h at ranges and altitudes of up to one kilometer without operator intervention. Interceptor missiles can reportedly be fitted with fragmentation, thermobaric, or net warheads depending on the mission.

"Contra Drone also demonstrated several supporting detection systems, including the SPECTRE electronic intelligence complex, SENSE-3 and SENSE-4 FPV drone detectors, and the CD-T15 radar, which the company says can simultaneously track more than 300 aerial objects at distances of up to 22 kilometers."
