Known as the Scalable Effects Net Warhead, the round can be fired from a standard M320 or Mk47 grenade launcher and works by ensnaring the enemy drone in a capture net. In February of this year, a 40mm round firing a capture net was announced by US Army engineers at the Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC) based in New Jersey. The launch of the platform follows the considerable interest shown by the US military in man-portable counter-UAV/counter-UAS technologies. DefendTexвЂ™s website is sadly lacking in further detail. The Drone-40 round has been integrated with the Tempest which would serve as a base station for swarms of the Drone-40. DefendTex also offers the Tempest Fire Support Drone, a truly frightening-looking platform that can carry up to 80 guided rockets and serve as a mobile infantry support platform.

Once the enemy UAV is in range, the Drone-40 can employ either вЂsoft-killвЂ™ or вЂhard-killвЂ™ options to disable or destroy the enemy platform.
