KVERTUS AD MW

Also known as
  • AD MW
  • Kvertus AD MW
  • Kvertus AD MW anti-drone rifle

KVERTUS AD MW is a Ukrainian man-portable anti-drone jammer built by Kvertus for front-line electronic warfare. The product line now separates an FPV-drone-focused AD MW from a FROM DROPS configuration for payload-dropping UAVs, while retaining an 8 kg rifle form factor, quick setup, and battery-powered field kit.
