KVERTUS AD MW FROM DROPS

Also known as
  • AD MW FROM DROPS
  • Kvertus AD MW From Drops
  • Kvertus AD MW vid skydiv

KVERTUS AD MW FROM DROPS is a Ukrainian AD MW-family anti-drone rifle variant built by Kvertus for payload-dropping UAVs. The manufacturer describes it as a 90 W man-portable jammer using control and video-transmission bands, with the same 8 kg field weight and battery kit as the base AD MW.

Family Role

Kvertus positions FROM DROPS as an AD MW-family rifle for payload-dropping UAVs rather than as a separate launcher or sensor. The page publishes a narrower three-band set aimed at control and video links.
