“Soft-kill is no longer safe, Protect your area with Hard-Kill solution“
Anti-Drone System solution
Recently, the invasion and damage are significantly increased by enemy’s UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), Small-UAV and drone(multi-copter), etc. However, there is no defense method to clearly attack and detect. Many systems have been developed with the logic of defending using a soft-kill system such as jammers but there no good results and soft-kill system cannot defense Small-UAV with no link with enemy’s electric equipment. In particular, jamming tech. is useless to UAV with fixed-wing which avoids jamming system and spoofing, geo-fencing method.
UAV which is cannot be identified by the naked eyes at high altitude is detected by detection radar. And UAV detected by radar at ultra-low altitude(100m~1,500m) can be tracked with visual equipment such as high performance camera. But it is difficult to detect and track to the rapidly changing battlefield and the maneuvering speed of a UAV.
In order to solve and defense from the threat of UAV and Small-UAV, DureTek developed the technology of the ultra-low altitude air defense system with the Data-Fusion target management, which is an automatic defense Hard-Kill system of automatic detection (target tracking management)-identification-threat assessment-allocation-strike(Hard-Kill using HPP).
Summary of Problem
- Soft-kill cannot defense completely enemy drones and UAVs.
- Jammer can use only when user knew about the drone operation frequency of enemy country.
- UAV: Limit suppression as long as it does not destroy the electronic circuits where the path is stored
- There is no soft-kill(jammer) system in domestic that can be operated from 1 km or more to “detection – identification – strike”
- No interconnection between detection radar and jammer yet
- Jammer’s effective range is almost 300m(too short)
- Even if a soft-kill is performed, in the case of self-destruction, damage is inevitable within our area.
Solution for Anti-Drone
- Global Trends in Anti-Drone and UAV defense system: HARD-KILL
- Ukraine-Russia War: Electronic warfare attacks using drone guns are restricted for Shahed 136 drones (including inertial navigation)
- Shahed 136: kamikaze drone
- Complement detection and identification capabilities by complementing/sharing the interoperability logic of the existing low-altitude radar
- Ukraine-Russia War: Electronic warfare attacks using drone guns are restricted for Shahed 136 drones (including inertial navigation)

- High Performance & Eco-Friendly Projectile, Dr16A1 can hit at 500m ~ 1,000m drones and UAVs(Hard-Kill)
- Shot group(50cm diameter) by using Gatling gun(200 shot/s)
- Dr16A1 was tested and verified performance and military operability & usability at 2021 3rd the Rapid Demonstration Acquisition Project.(Demonstration and verification complete, 11 Nov. 2022)
- Effective Range
- 5.56mm can penetrate 3.5t steel-plate at 700m
- 7.62mm can penetrate 3.5t steel-plate at 1,100m
- Maximum range in the air
- 5.56mm: 2,000m
- 7.62mm: 4,000m
- Penetration Power
- 5.56mm/7.62mm can penetrate Armor500 6.5t at 100m
Operation Concept(Draft)
- Identification and Detection: Multi-Automatic target tracking management of Drone and UAV at 1~3 km
- After detecting the flight characteristic of drone, UAV, do threat assessment, target assignment and attack
- In system, ultra-low altitude detection radar operation/multiple target management – information sharing
- Attack system: 5.56mm Dr16A1 is fired to 500m target
- 5.56mm or 7.62mm have less than 76J of kinetic energy at final due to lightweight, and minimal casualties(damages) when shooting
- Real-time response to multiple target
Attack System
- A system that simultaneously performs air defense integrated system and ground attack operation
- RCWS and Gatling gun are installed on the existing maneuvering system and used by configuring an interoperability system
- Existing Maneuvering system: Armored vehicles, tactical trucks, self-propelled guns, tanks, etc.
- Example of Maneuvering system of DureTek.
- Two Gatling gun: 5.56mm / 20″ barrel X 6
- Maneuvering: Wheel, Automatic heat dissipation
- Automatic firing by receiving the target location from the control system
- Drone, Helicopter, close aircraft destroy
- This system can utilize as ground operation
Identification/Detection System
- Detection: ultra-low altitude detection radar(management of more than 100 target)
- Identification/Management: Identify Drone / Sharing information, management of target and tracking
- Threat Assessment: Multiple tracking threat assessment – Automatic order and allocate to attack system
- Order to attack and firing to the next target after suppression
