The US Army has demonstrated a new capability to shoot down drones with vehicle-mounted weapons while both the target and vehicle are moving.
The test, conducted in April at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, used a Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station equipped with software designed to track and strike small drones.
The project, known as Simultaneous Weapon Autonomy Technology for Fire Control, or SWAT-FC, uses technology adapted from the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft program to provide constantly updating data and increase accuracy against small unmanned aircraft systems.
