The German Armed Forces are testing anti-drone mesh installations mounted on armored vehicles in order to assess the effectiveness of passive protection against the growing threat from small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The photographs taken at the Folkach facility show armored vehicles of the 4th Logistics Regiment equipped with various types of improvised drone protection. Among them, the Marder infantry fighting vehicle stands out, around which grids of various sizes are installed, arranged in a circle to maximize vulnerable areas.
The tests are aimed at determining to what extent such grids are capable of preventing the penetration and impact of small drones, which are increasingly being used for reconnaissance and attacks in modern conflicts. Passive protection using nets can be an effective and relatively inexpensive way to increase the survivability of armored vehicles on the battlefield.
This approach reflects the trend in the military sphere towards the development of integrated anti-drone systems combining active and passive protection methods.
