SNIPER RIFLE MOUNTED DRONES ARE HERE​

Are you in the market for a drone that can fly around your property equipped with a sniper rifle? You’re in luck because we’ve officially entered the era where random guns can be mounted to a drone system from Smart Shooter, a weapons company headquartered in Israel.

In a press release sent out Monday, Smart Shooter introduced SMASH Dragon, an “advanced robotic weaponry payload that can be mounted on different drones and other unmanned aerial platforms.”

The mounting system can handle “various types of assault rifles, sniper rifles, 40mm, and other ammunition with great precision,” the company announced.

Are you looking to take out moving targets like intruders who have infiltrated your 800-acre ranch, but you can’t cover multiple positions where these scumbag intruders are coming in from? SMASH DRAGON will do the job. Smart Shooter claims the Dragon has a “unique stabilization concept” that incorporates the SMASH technology “that enables the system to accurately hit static and moving targets while flying.”



The technology on this drone system is so advanced that you can sit inside your 15,000 sq. ft. ranch headquarters and pick off scumbag intruders in Toyota Tundras while watching the NFL playoffs.

Featuring SMASH’s proprietary target acquisition and tracking algorithms as well as sophisticated computer vision capabilities, the remotely operated SMASH Dragon Offers the SMASH technology’s fast and precise hit capabilities and other exclusive benefits while engaging targets from the air,” Smart Shooter says.



Is it possible we’re at the beginning stages of wars that will be fought between robot dogs equipped with sniper rifles vs. sniper rifle drones operated by fat slobs watching porn in their bedrooms?

It’s sounding like it.

Is it sounding more and more like the wars of the 2050s will be fueled by weed and Doritos? Yes.

Buckle up, old-timers. You’re going to be left yearning for the old days of war once the fatty, weed-smoking video game players get their hands on these new toys.

They also have some nice remote sniper ground stations. Also useful to protect the homestead against zombies.

Operating a drone that has a dangerous weapon attached to it is a violation of Section 363 of the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act enacted Oct. 5, 2018. Operators are subject to civil penalties up to $25,000 for each violation, unless the operator has received specific authorization from the Administrator of the FAA to conduct the operation. “Dangerous Weapon” means any item that is used for, or is readily capable of, causing death or serious bodily injury.

 

[safetyfirst2125]

If SHTF laws are meaningless without a system to enforce them and it’s every man for himself.

$100 drone to knock $50K drone on its ass. Done.

Just guessing on the cost of the weaponized drone, but you get the point.

I believe this was from 2016, the law was changed ar 2018 IIRC, I am sure we have a drone enthusiast on here, was it the corvette enthusiasts IIRC, I'm horrible with names

Why not? It should be covered under 'the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".

 

[Individualist]

How soon before we have peacekeeping police drones shooting robot guard dogs?

 

[safetyfirst2125]

And for what’s it’s worth….

I have drones. A bunch of drones.
I have guns. A bunch of guns.

Flying the gun on a drone would be illegal.

But are the popo going to attempt to assemble all my guns onto all my drones to see if any can fit?

 

[groundscrapers]

honestly the way its written and how they describe dangerous weapon is incredibly (unconstitutionally) vague. FAA likes to overstep their bounds.

dangerous weapon​

(2) The term “dangerous weapon” means a weapon, device, instrument, material, or substance, animate or inanimate, that is used for, or is readily capable of, causing death or serious bodily injury, except that such term does not include a pocket knife with a blade of less than 2½ inches in length.

I wonder what an 'animate substance' looks like? "Honestly the drone flew over head and dropped something that I realized was living play-doh and I was attacked by it". Maybe the stay puft marshmallow man is real and we just don't know it. He's living deep underground in a clandestine military base lol.

 

[Boris]

except that radio warfare has been a thing for many decades now. That drone has no chance against specialized radio warfare units. They can blank jam it, in many cases they can intercept and highjack the drone itself. Been done before, you guys need to keep up to date with battlefield happenings.

The gayest part is mounting plain AR system, for the price tag, they could have modded the weapon at least.

the price of the hex build like that is not very high - it is like a tarot 680 pro size wise. a $1.5K build top, if not half cheaper.
the issue there - it is not going to have more than 12-14 minutes flight time with the 10lb payload weight. so from practical perspective, until new generation of lipo batteries are there - it is not very usable.
i think in a recent conflict in armenia something like that was already used, like a flying AK.

 

[Soundwave]

I can't believe it's not mounted upside down with some propietary "magazine" mounted in the body of the drone to carry more rounds.

[moojpg2]

would be better off if it was just setup with a handgun or small .22 rifle action designed for the drone that is trimmed down to save weight. The weight of a full size rifle is gonna kill a drone's flight time to the point of being pretty useless.

 

[paul73]

I can't believe it's not mounted upside down with some propietary "magazine" mounted in the body of the drone to carry more rounds.

lifting capacity of an electrical drone is quite limited.
the heli build, with a gas engine would be a different thing, but, would cost much more, but there you would indeed look into a $XXk for a build. such helis are pricey

55 min flight time with 13lb payload before needing to refuel. Should be long enough to get the job done.

 

[Dench]

Certainly a weapon system I am not looking forward to becoming widespread and in use anywhere.

 

[paul73]

55 min flight time with 13lb payload

it is a lie. the max time for a flying battery only - means 0 payload, just to hover lifting your own powerbricks and chassis is 37-42 minutes. an every gram of an actual payload reduces that max 'flying battery' time.
and that is done with a quad designs on ultralight carbon frames and oversized props, that is not optimal for real life use. a hex or 8/12 rotors designs used in real heavy lifting cinematic drones to carry expensive video equipment have less flight time, as the drivetrain gets heavier and eats up more current.
there are a lot of lies of what is posted about those things. but, the amount of thrust required to lift up the model in the air is always in direct correlation with the total weight of powerbricks you need to lift to supply the current to powertrain. you cannot cheat that to add a flight time, really.

you should have looked at agras drone specs, as it is quite a monster thing, and dji makes them very efficient.
the battery pack it uses:

And rest of the model - 26.4kg plus add a battery 10.1kg - it shows an EMPTY max hover time of 20 minutes, and a mere 7.8 minutes of total flight time with the full payload.
it is all the current lipo batteries can give you, and in line with what comparable cinematic platforms do.

• Total weight (without batteries)​

• 76.5 kg (near sea level)

• Maximum thrust-to-weight ratio​

• 1.70 @ takeoff weight of 66.5 kg

• Hovering precision (with good GNSS signal)​

• With D-RTK enabled:
  ±10 cm (horizontal) and ±10 cm (vertical)
  With D-RTK disabled:
  ±0.6m (horizontal) and ±0.3m (vertical) (with the radar function enabled: ±0.1m)

• RTK and GNSS frequency bands​

• RTK: GPS L1/L2, GLONASS F1/F2, BeiDou B1/B2, and Galileo E1/E5
  GNSS: GPS L1, GLONASS F1, and Galileo E1

• Maximum power consumption​

• 11,000 W

• Hovering power consumption​

• 10,000 W (@ takeoff weight of 66.5 kg)

• Hovering endurance​
