AMPV: C-UAS Prototype Live Fire Demonstration

In various realistic battlefield scenarios at the Big Sandy range in Kingman, Arizona, the AMPV C-UAS prototype demonstrated the ability to accurately detect, track, identify, and defeat or disable stationary and moving aerial and ground targets. The exercise displayed the turret engaging with ground targets and utilizing a slew-to-cue capability to target both stationary and moving small drones with 30mm proximity rounds.

Glad to see the AMPV getting a nice weapons system.

I’d like to see a test conducted against multiple kamikaze drones (like Lancer/Shahed) at the same time.
Maybe have them come in from multiple directions, and we see an engagement from multiple distances.

Fantastic. Build them as fast as possible.

I hope the sensor package on that thing is up to the task and that the weapons can handle saturation, because it the Ukraine footage shows us anything, it's that this is another large, tracked target.

Ahhh. if u made a "ADATS" for 20km i will be happiest man ever

Multiple drone with payload at very high angle of attack rushing directly toward the platform?
Cause Pavol can hit stationary or slow moving drone with his akm.

[rockytorres]

can they hit missiles or rockets like gephard? & can they protect itself from projectiles few meters away from it? is it armed also with laser beam?

I'll be impressed if you can get this system to operate on a modified JLTV.

[ShimomuraTakezoWong]

Okay, those are off the shelves commercial drones what if I fly low level at night FPV drones using VR which the speeds are much faster than production drones i'm able to bypass the AMPV C-UAS....

[jang]

can it knockdown a barrage of hellfire missiles? is it an apc or tank iron dome?

[PavewayJDAM]

Guessing low end cost of 4 million each. To combat a $500 drone. So 1 vs 8, 000. I wonder which will win?

[Track_Tension]

Skynet won't be needing to deploy metal skeletons.

MOOG

imo someone just needs to combine a drone with a camera mounted on top, which can land close to enemy lines, look up and us A.I to detect enemy drones flying above, then launches, tracks and destroys enemy drone with a nozzle firing something like expanding foam onto the flight surfaces.

the total package could be autonomous, and worst case someone gets some foam in the eyes so you can just flood the area with them without much worry about unintended human casualties.

[danhobart]

Interesting that they are still using hydraulics being controlled by a MOOG, they could've used heinzman instead for a far more robust system that doesn't break down with a little bit of dirt on the control piston.

[bigolboomerbelly]

Looks cruel but in an appropriate way.

[apuuvah]

You can load this thing with MHTK missiles...
