At the moment, EMC Operations Group is actually moderately happy to announce a brand new technology of tactical C-UAS effectors, the very first gel-adhesive obstructive munition: Electromagnetic Steady Interceptor.
The Electromagnetic Steady Interceptor gives an a variety of benefits of present technology of C-UAS effectors:
-Value efficient; with munition value comparable with FPV UAS programs.
-Steady ‘longstore’ effector; for simplified logistics and deep journal stockpiling.
-Shrapnel free GOO intercepts; protected and forensically sound (vastly superior intelligence assortment capabilities from downed UAS than standard intercept strategies.)
Electromagnetic Steady Interceptor is 80mm caliber, has a most velocity of ~200m/s, ~3km energetic vary, and solely weighs 5kgs.
Electromagnetic Steady Interceptor will likely be obtainable in 4 and 9 spherical electrical launchers for straightforward integration with present tactical deployment platforms. Appropriate with numerous platforms and obtainable pre-integrated on class main USV’s, UAV’s, technicals and varied land-based programs.
What’s extra, it is going to be the world’s first effector to make use of energetic move management (a specialism of certainly one of our companion corporations) for extremely agile manoeuvre and low drag energetic steerage guaranteeing fast, correct, and efficient supply of Baryonyx (STW-50 variant) interception.
As soon as the EMC Baryonyx warhead is activated (utilising pressurised fuel, not explosive PBX (rising lifespan and lowering TCO)) the munition physique detaches, permitting it to gracefully descend to floor with out representing a hazard to personnel and tools at floor stage. The STW-50 agent will envelop the UAS (with a lesser requirement for low CEP,) masking it in a quickly increasing and hardening closed cell gel-adhesive agent that immediately disables UAS operation. As soon as the effector has enveloped the goal, it falls to earth underneath excessive drag (shielded from impacts, and made buyant if operated over water by STW-50 expanded foam impact) the place it may be recovered and scoured for helpful intelligence that may present the warfighter future tactical benefit.
All in all, Electromagnetic Steady Interceptor will allow a brand new technology of tactical C-UAS programs. Providing far decrease TCO, deeper magazines, less complicated safer deployment and higher intelligence gathering from downed platforms. Finally delivering a far safer in a battlespace the place the warfighter more and more must be involved with blue UAS belongings in the identical airspace as threats. General, Electromagnetic Steady Interceptor represents a subsequent technology method to tactical C-UAS designed for the modern pervasive UAS world.
Each we, and our companions on this mission imagine that ESI will likely be a paradigm shift for each CUAS munitions.
