Abstract
When conventional disruption and neutralization methods fail, it’s time to choose a kinetic solution. SHIELD is a preliminary concept for an automatic, state-of-the art kinetic defense system. Drones can be eliminated at ranges up to 100 meters. The SHIELD weapon system design consists of an ultra-reliable, high-capacity, semiautomatic shotgun with tungsten shot. This weapon system is coupled with precision pointing, target tracking, and real-time ballistics, ensuring high first-round hit probability. Battle-network capable, SHIELD can perform slew-to-cue operations and cue other networked systems.
