This is 2nd Lieutenant Liam Hewey of Company B, 2-116 Combined Arms Battalion, Task Force Rattler, Idaho Army National Guard. In this video, he explains the U.S. Army's advanced Mobile-Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aircraft System Integrated Defeat System (M-LIDS) capabilities and usage.
The Kinetic Effector (KE) truck is equipped with a 30mm cannon and a 240 machine gun for physically destroying hostile drones. The Electronic Warfare (EW) truck uses jamming technology and other electronic countermeasures to disable, disrupt, or take control of enemy UAS.
The US Army uses this two-truck system developed by Leonardo DRS to create a protective cordon around a base, acquiring targets from a significant distance and ensuring the airspace remains secure from enemy surveillance and attack.
