US first drone killer suit that zaps UAVs 4-mile away with Terminator-like gun revealed

California-based DZYNE Technologies has introduced a new counter-drone solution, the Dronebuster Detect, Track, Identify, Mitigate (DTIM) Kit, during the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX) held in the UAE.

This compact and portable system addresses the growing need for effective counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) in modern military operations.

With conflicts increasingly highlighting the importance of drone detection and mitigation, the U.S. Army has recognized the necessity for a soldier-level system that enhances situational awareness and offers reliable protection against hostile drones.

The Dronebuster DTIM is the first American-made electronic attack system with an optional Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capability, essential for countering GNSS-enabled drones.

Designed for tactical flexibility, the DTIM Kit weighs less than 8.8 pounds (4 kgs) and allows service members to move swiftly in the field while effectively addressing drone threats.

It comprises two main components: a Dronebuster mitigation system and a Dronebuster DTI system, providing an integrated drone detection and neutralization approach.

The mitigation system comes in two versions: the Dronebuster 4 and the Dronebuster 4-EU, the latter tailored to meet the specific needs of the European short-range device band.

Both variants include a PNT attack capability, providing soldiers with advanced tools to combat autonomous drone threats.

The DTI system enhances situational awareness by offering comprehensive detection, tracking, and identification capabilities.

It features a user-friendly interface, built-in GPS, and compatibility with external accessories such as headsets. This ensures that soldiers can operate effectively in the field without being hindered by complex technology.

One of the standout features of the Dronebuster DTIM Kit is its detection capability. The system’s antenna can identify drones from up to 4.3 miles (7 km) across a wide frequency range, from 400 MHz to 6 GHz.

Its omnidirectional antennas allow for greater mobility, providing real-time feedback through haptic, audio, and visual indicators. This design ensures that soldiers remain agile while actively monitoring drone activity.

Zapping UAVs

Regarding tracking, the DTI system excels at pinpointing the locations of drones, utilizing Remote ID and AeroScope technologies.

It uses radio frequency (RF) direction-finding to provide accurate location data without needing a full 360-degree rotation.
