eneral Robotics Ltd., a company that specializes in de-
Gveloping, manufacturing and marketing advanced ro-
botic systems for defense and homeland security applica-
tions, has unveiled a new anti-drone remote-controlled
weapon station. The Pitbull-3 is an ultra-lightweight RCWS
that delivers Point & Shoot technology, is highly accurate
and highly reliable, and provides a workable solution for
detecting and tracking all types of drones during flight, en-
abling their neutralization and downing.
Weighing only 70 kg, the Pitbull-3 anti-drone station
provides a complete solution in one compact and mobile
system that can be easily installed on any manned or un-
manned ground, air or maritime platform, including ultra-
light vehicles such as ATVs, and fixed stations.
“While hard-kill solutions are inevitably needed to stop
advanced drones and drone swarms, there is a strong focus
on soft-kill capabilities,” explained Shahar Gal, CEO of Gen-
eral Robotics Ltd., noting that the Pitbull-3 enables both.
The system’s complete solution against drones enables
