Assessment of a last line of defense counter-UAV effector

There is an urgent need to develop systems that allow neutralization of the threat posed by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Different technologies can be assessed for different scenarios. Kinetic effectors are a viable option if collateral damage can be controlled. Present work aims to develop a systematic methodology to assess kinetic effectors in their use as Counter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle system. In particular, this work determines the ballistic limit of a specific UAV shell for a dedicated Counter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle effector, in order to understand how a potential operational use can be optimized.
