Antidrone ammunition from RWS

RWS manufactures ammunition, including very specialized types. Their latest ammunition is called URBAN DRONE DEFENCE (UDD), seen at Behördentage 2025. At its core, it's a 7.62x51 mm cartridge with a special plastic projectile. In conjunction with a minigun, it can effectively bring down drones, with a significantly reduced danger zone compared to conventional ammunition.

There are two variants of this special ammunition, LIGHT and HEAVY. 

• UDD LIGHT (with blue-dyed polymer projectile, 1.0g / 15 gr), particularly suitable for shorter distances of up to 100m in densely populated urban areas, UDD
• HEAVY (with grey/brown-dyed polymer projectile, ≤ 3.0g / 46 gr), particularly suitable for medium distances of up to 300m for defending open areas, e.g., in suburban or rural areas.
