According to a report in French “Defense News”, Hamatan AI, a French defense technology start - up, recently announced a major technical breakthrough in its GOBI lightweight high - speed anti - drone system project. This new - type anti - drone system is designed to deal with the threat of suicide drones, featuring rapid response and efficient interception.
The GOBI anti - drone system adopts a compact design, with a length and width of 38 cm, a height of 28 cm, and a total weight of less than 2 kg including the battery. It is equipped with a dual - camera module assembly at the head and a propeller propulsion system driven by four motors, with a maximum flight speed of 250 km/h. It can complete the interception of class 1 to class 3 UAVs within 60 seconds after launch, and can intercept everything from small quad - copter UAVs to medium - and large - sized UAVs weighing 600 kg, with an effective combat radius of 5 km.
As an intelligent anti - drone platform, the system can be deeply integrated with the command and control system to achieve real - time battlefield data sharing, which can accurately identify enemy UAVs and reduce the risk of friendly - fire. The working process of the system is as follows: the supporting monitoring system scans the airspace in real - time. After identifying and locking the incoming UAV target, the system automatically launches the interception UAV, and guides it to the dynamically calculated interception point through radio commands. When approaching the target, the interception UAV automatically switches to the terminal guidance mode, uses the on - board infrared seeker and computer vision technology to find the best impact point, and uses AI algorithms for real - time trajectory correction to complete the precise impact and intercept the target.
The system adopts a unique warhead - free design, relying on precisely hitting the key components of the target UAV, such as the rotor or propeller, to achieve the damage effect. This design can greatly reduce the system weight and cost, and reduce collateral damage, making it suitable for use in complex urban environments.
Currently, the GOBI anti - drone system has entered the flight test stage and has successfully intercepted the target in the test. However, it also has some problems, such as the need for high - precision flight control for the direct - impact damage mechanism, high requirements for impact kinetic energy, and the damage effect is greatly affected by the size and material of the target UAV. These need to be verified and solved through more extensive tests and experiments.
