Rostec presents 'Bison' autonomous anti-drone system

Bottom line

Rostec presents 'Bison', an anti-drone system using PKT 7.62mm machine guns with autonomous detection/tracking for low-altitude small drones.

Why it matters

Autonomous kinetic counter-drone systems like Bison could provide cost-effective, scalable defense against drone swarms and low-altitude threats for NATO forces.

Rostec presented the ‘Bison’ anti-drone system, which integrates PKT 7.62mm machine guns with autonomous drone detection and tracking capabilities. Designed for low-altitude small drones, the system can operate standalone or as part of a layered air defense architecture.
