The primary mission of this counter-unmanned aerial system is to detect, identify, track, and defeat enemy unmanned aerial systems (UAS). It provides targeting information to the gun trucks, allowing them to align their guns directly with the target while keeping the operator in the decision-making loop. This capability reduces the cognitive load on the operator. In October 2021, during firing demonstrations, the system effectively employed 30mm High Explosive Proximity Self-Destruct rounds to defeat a variety of challenging unmanned aerial system profiles, including drones moving at speeds exceeding 30km per hour.
