During the Iron Demo 2025 demonstration event, Besomar presented a reusable aircraft-type interceptor drone equipped with a shotgun with an automated firing system.
The drone is designed to neutralize enemy drones moving at speeds up to 200 km/h. «Two shots can be fired from the aircraft, we can increase it to four shots on board. We generally develop aircraft and mass-produce aircraft. But there was a request to develop something new that can shoot in the air and also return,» a company representative told Military News.
A communication system with a PPC function allows the drone to approach the target unnoticed by its evasion systems and hit it.
In its current configuration, the device is capable of firing two shots, but if necessary, the number of shots can be increased to four.
It is reported that the drone is designed to neutralize enemy drones moving at speeds up to 200 km/h, including Gerber-type UAVs and reconnaissance aircraft.
Thanks to a digital communication system with a PFC function, the interceptor can approach the target, remaining unnoticed by its evasion systems, and hit it.
A feature of the design is the ability to fire automatically: a sensor in the nose of the device initiates automatic fire with the pilot’s permission when the target enters the strike zone, which increases effectiveness against maneuverable objects.
For firing, a recoilless system based on 12-gauge cartridges is used, which ensures the stability of the device during firing.
