RCN Anti Drone Weapon

[Stoker]

Looks like the RCN wants to make an example of the micro drones buzzing the dockyards.

What is the ANCU? Is that NTOGs latest nickname?

It will be a struggle. Competing interests tells me this has trouble getting off the ground. My former boss was put in charge of the SCTF and everyone was all hot and horny until the cheque came due.

The difference being that without that capability in place, Canada doesn’t get to station F-35s, P-8s, CQ-9s, or AEGIS warships in Canada. And while I’m totally cool with Singapore-style permanent OUTCAN bases for those, the cost to post people and keep stuff in allied countries would probably break our bank faster than the Security Forces construct.

So the “competing interests” bit gets whittled down a bit when the big ticket items are contingent on the…uh…contingent.

But back to the RCN C-UAS gun - that is hopefully the last-tier option. It seems to me essentially a shotgun without the kinetic shot.

Wonder if there's anything like this being looked at in a permanent mount for the dockyards and airfields, and any Army concentrations of equivalent value?

Let’s just say there are different options for fixed sites.
