TSAMTO, September 17. The British company MSI-Defense Systems Limited (MSI-DSL) and the Estonian Milrem Robotics jointly presented a mobile system for countering unmanned aerial vehicles at the DSEI-2021 exhibition in London.
Using the Milrem Robotics remote-controlled THeMIS platform as a chassis, equipped with a remotely controlled weapons module (DUMV) and electronic-optical sensors manufactured by MSI-DSL, the companies offer a solution for countering mini-UAVs, barrage ammunition and other inconspicuous aerial threats.
As stated, the vehicle can carry a combat module equipped with weapons systems of caliber from 7.62 to 30 mm, including the M230 automatic cannon of Northrop Grumman Corporation and Thales light LMM missiles. The proposed solution allows you to detect and hit both air threats and ground targets, including armored ones, ensuring the safety of the operator.
According to MSI-DSL and Milrem, the companies are ready to provide the customer with an easily deployable system with high firepower and survivability. The autonomy of the system allows the operator to analyze, identify and defeat threats without exposing himself to excessive risk.
According to the representative of Milrem Robotics, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and barrage ammunition for hitting various targets has increased in recent conflicts. The use of these systems leads to an increase in the number of victims, even in low-intensity conflicts. The use of robotic ground systems with intelligent functions to counter new threats will increase the protection of troops and provide tactical units with the ability to defeat both air and ground targets, which, ultimately, will reduce the number of human casualties.
