Concise Overview : Warfare on the ground has evolved into fast-moving agile targets with small cross-sectional areas, namely kamikaze or swarm drones and, in certain cases, militants in close quarters. The typical soldier is not adequately equipped to take on such short-range threats with their service assault rifle. A standard ball ammunition used by assault rifles has a very small cross-sectional area, yielding a low hit probability. – Soldiers require a low-cost immediately implementable solution that converts their service assault rifle into an area weapon, all without disruption to the current ecosystem. Key Features & Innovation : Kali Munitions has designed and developed a 7.62mm ammunition comprising of a discarding sabot carrying a plurality of tungsten pellets. The ammunition can be magazine and belt fed. The sabot is composed of an engineered polymer capable of undergoing the thermal and mechanical stresses exerted on bullets while having zero effect on barrel life. The ammunition uses the standard gun powder charge found in service rounds and contains no added explosive, functioning entirely using aerodynamic forces. Implementation & Impact : The ammunition can be implemented immediately, with no effect or change to current equipment. Its usage and shelf life are identical to service ammunition. The solution provides a significant gain in hit probability for aerial drones within a 125m range and close quarter anti-personnel applications up to 75m. With this solution, Kali has decentralized and dramatically reduced the cost to hard-kill a drone at short range, effectively providing a last line of defense for all soldiers on the ground. This technology is impervious to electronic warfare (UAS) advancements and provides a significant technological edge to Indian forces over emerging threats.
