Beretta’s C-UAS shotgun tested in simulated warfare scenario

AURYN Aero has been working with Beretta Defense Technologies to test and launch the Advanced Impact Drone Guardian counter-uncrewed aerial system defence for operation by dismounted soldiers.

Beretta first unveiled the ‘last resort’ C-UAS system in September and AURYN’s FPV drones have been used to replicate the performance capabilities of UAS currently used in warfare.

Beretta’s Benelli Armi S.p.A. developed a specific line of shotguns for counter drone applications, resulting in the Drone Guardian. It includes a patented system of a larger and longer cone inside the barrel which enables targets to be hit at greater distances compared to standard shotguns.
