China has unveiled the world’s first close-in anti-drone barrage weapon system, a groundbreaking innovation against drone swarms and high-speed missiles, according to its developer.
The Bullet Curtain system, developed by China’s largest arms maker Norinco, employs a unique “plane-to-point” interception method, creating a wall of projectiles to blanket incoming targets with overlapping firepower.
It was revealed in the April edition of the Norinco publication Modern Weaponry.
“Imagine the target is a fly. The traditional air-defence interception is like throwing stones at the fly continuously … and now the barrage system is like swinging a fly swatter, which covers the entire area where the fly may move,” Yu Bin, the chief designer of the system, said in the report.
“While traditional air-defence weapons only hit at a single point, we are building a canopy capable of countering a saturation attack,” he said.
