Ukraine develops Dronolaw active protection system for vehicle counter-drone defense

Bottom line

Ukraine is developing 'Dronolaw,' an active protection system designed to detect and counter aerial drone threats before they impact vehicles, specifically aimed at countering the growing threat of FPV drones.

Why it matters

The deployment of dedicated active protection systems like Dronolaw on armored vehicles could significantly reduce Ukrainian vehicle losses to FPV drones, enhancing survivability in high-intensity combat zones.

Ukrainian open-source channel Istoria Zbroi reports that Ukraine is developing an active protection system named ‘Dronolaw.’ The system is designed to detect and counter aerial drone threats before they hit vehicles, addressing the growing threat of FPV drones on the battlefield. This development indicates a shift towards integrated, vehicle-mounted counter-drone defenses to protect armored assets from aerial attacks.
