At SAI we develop, and manufacture drone carried firearms intended to combat and reduce enemy equipment. Since the start of the Ukraine war SAI has been working with design and thoughts on the tactical use of armed drones, being air borne on ground or on water operated. We have been monitoring the rapid development in drone warfare very closely since the war started. Following this rapid development in both design and usage of this equipment we are now able to offer a broad array of special designed drone carried firearms for different purposes.
We generally operate with two main categories of drone operated firearms:
- Firearms for interceptor drones
- Firearms for antimateriel drones
Ad. 1; Interceptor drones is armed drones used to reduce enemy kamikaze FPV or larger drones in the shape of small cruise missiles (Shahed/Lancet types)
Ad. 2; Firearms designed to reduce enemy materiel, supply trucks, soft technical installations. Larger calibres are intended to be used in traditional counter sniper tasks and to counter light armoured vehicles, ships and hard skin technical installations.
Furthermore - We are working on equipment for what we at SAI believe will be the future soldiers equipment. SAI strongly believe that we need to modernize tactical thought and equipment and quickly get in line with the current warfighting situation.

(TRL Scale as used by Horizon2020)
Size, weight, barrel length, mag capacity etc. optional according to implementation.
Multi barrel forearms offers a choice of ammunition in action. Shotgun armed drone operators can choose remotely from 2 or 4 different cartridge types. Large calibre rifles can choose remotely from 4 different bullet types in combat action.
All firearm types listed is very light and do not have civilian or military built-in safety dimension features as do traditional firearms. They are all developed especially for drone operation and is therefore not intended to be fired by or next to any personnel.
All firearms are designed and made by SAI in Denmark.
