DEW-002
Man portable Directed Energy Weapon System for C-UAV
The MP-DEW-002 is a LASER Dazzler with patent pending technology whch makes it ideal for individual deployment as a defense against all types of drone attacks. The MP-DEW-002 has the footprint of a standard issue sidearm, so an individual soldiers muscle memory is already familiar with all of its functions. Its wide area aimpoint , approximately 5 feet in diameter at 50 yards, makes disabling an enemy combatant drones camera, a much higher percentage rate proposition than a simple laser, or even a shotgun. Power source is contained in a standard magazine configuration, so that a soldier is already familiar with the process of changing a discharged power source. In addition, the weapon is compatible with any accessories such as holsters, magazine pouches etc, that fit the basic footprint of a standard sidearm.

Referring to the video above, it is clear the difference ergonomics makes. In addition to increased stability in keeping on target, we see the effect that having a larger pattern on target makes. It is important to note, that while the pattern diverges, the beam itself is only susceptible to normal beam divervence which means there is no additional loss at the target.

Referring to the video above, the section where we attempted to replicate hitting a moving target with a laser diode only device passes by so fast that you may have missed it. Suffice to say that without sophisticated tracking automation, hitting a moving target moving at drone speeds is difficult. Compare to the image at left and you can clearly see the advantage that the MP-DEW-002 affords. .

There are several factors which went into the decision to create a Man Portable C-UAV system which has familiar ergonomics. By creating a system which has the feel of a standard sidearm, additional training is negligible. The MP-DEW-002 can be deployed and utilized successfully on day one. Draw, aim and shoot and when power is low, drop the "mag" and insert a fresh one.

Wider field of contact means higher degree of reliability
Hitting a moving target with a dot vs a pattern
Recently Ukraine announced that they are looking for laser dazzler solutions which are drone mounted. While certainly feasible this amounts to hitting a speck with a dot while both are moving at speads approaching 50mph. Our patent pending technology turns a laser dot into an effective wide pattern. This is accomplished without relying on expensive or sensitive optics, such as beam wideners, which can be knocked out of alignment and add greatly to size, weight and cost.
Deployability
- Low cost
- Robust design
- Immediately deployable without extensive training
- Interfaces with existing chest rigs, holsters, magazine pouches
