Flak USN.

This is coolbert:

"'We're looking at another round called the proximity round, which detects the drone as it approaches and then blows up' . . . 'It's not a radar system, but it's something similar. That's what we're looking at for drones.'"

Once again how fortuitous and thanks to Jay for the tip. Also back to the future deja vu all over again.

Drone. Anti-drone. Proximity fuze. Pom-Pom gun.

"US Navy To Revive Flak Cannons To Combat Drone Attacks"

"The proliferation of unmanned aircraft has frightened the U.S. Navy into developing a powerful air burst round to knock drones out of the sky, reported Military.com."

"The precision air burst munition, similar to anti-aircraft flak rounds used in World War II, is being designed to combat drones that are targeting warships at sea."

"The new round is compatible with the Littoral Combat Ship's (LCS) 30mm deck gun."

ADVANCED ELECTRONICS MICRO-TECHNOLOGY ALLOWING FOR A 30 MM GUN TO FIRE A ROUND ARMED BY A PROXIMITY FUZE. SOMETHING NOT POSSIBLE IN 1945!

GOD Bless. And devoted readers to the blog be fully aware you are way ahead of the learning curve with regard to anti-drone technology.
