Army seeks anti-drone ammunition for anti-aircraft guns
Deccan ChronicleNew Delhi: With the rising use of drones in modern conflicts, the Indian Army is moving to acquire specialised anti-drone ammunition for its current anti-aircraft systems, the Zu 23mm and Shilka Weapon Systems. To enhance their capability against drones, the Indian Army has issued a Request for Information to the domestic industry for the production of 23mm anti-drone ammunition. Recent conflicts have highlighted the effectiveness of drones and loitering munitions in suppressing enemy air defenses and executing precision strikes on ground-based Army Air Defence platforms, according to the Army’s RFI. Countering them with existing gun ammunition poses significant challenges, necessitating the development of anti-drone ammunition compatible with the Zu 23mm and Shilka Weapon Systems," the RFI stated.
