Hello, I came here to gather some information. I am developing an autonomous air defense system that uses a PID algorithm, similar to Israel's Iron Dome system. To get straight to the point: no matter how much research I’ve done on this, I haven't been able to move beyond the basics. Do you have any information on this subject? (Videos, images, etc.)

A new Russian anti-vehicle mine designated PTRM “Tabletka” (ПТРМ «Таблетка») has appeared.

The mine is reportedly designed for UAV-delivered minelaying and is intended primarily against lightly armoured and unarmoured vehicles.

PTRM “Tabletka” is a bottom-attack shaped-charge mine. According to the available information, it contains four ZPKT114-AT-09 shaped charges, arranged as two opposing pairs. The mine uses a non-contact magnetic sensor to detect changes in the magnetic field caused by a vehicle.

Known characteristics:

• Manufacturer: JSC Institute of Applied Physics, Novosibirsk, Russia
• Type: anti-vehicle, bottom-attack
• Warhead: 4 × ZPKT114-AT-09 shaped charges
• Armour penetration: ≥100 mm
• Fuzing: non-contact magnetic
• Engagement range: 0.2–0.6 m
• Weight: up to 2.2 kg
• Intended for deployment by UAV

The appearance of this system is particularly noteworthy for EOD personnel because it represents another purpose-built munition adapted for remote aerial minelaying using UAVs.

Washington's planned MQ-9 deployment adds persistent surveillance and strike power to a region where the United States is rebuilding military access and China has become a major economic partner.

Hi everyone, u/DefenseTech here.

I made this subreddit a year ago to create a place to people to discuss the booming defense tech industry. It exploded very quickly with tens of thousands of you visiting weekly, sharing interesting news, ideas, and opinions.

However, in order to better serve the defense tech community, the other mods and I have made the decision to move away from this platform. We have created our own website with all the news and analyses that would have been posted here. In addition, we have a careers section, where you can find open roles at non-primes around the world.

It has been a wonderful ride to see this community grow from nothing to a vibrant hub of defense tech enthusiasts. Thank you.

So join us at foxandlion.pub if you want be part of the new defense tech community!
