Turkish company Turaç has developed the Dron Kalkanı (“Drone Shield”) turret to protect military equipment and facilities from FPV drones.
Turaç CEO Fatih Altunbaş spoke about the development, Anadolu Agency reports.
Dron Kalkanı uses various sensors to scan the area, detect and track targets. According to the developers, the system acquires targets at a distance of 600–800 meters and opens fire at a range of around 150 meters.
The turret is based on a twin mount equipped with two Derya 12-gauge semi-automatic shotguns. When fired simultaneously, they create a dense cloud of projectiles designed to physically destroy the drone.
The system can be integrated onto wheeled and tracked armored vehicles, ships, unmanned ground systems and stationary facilities.
Dron Kalkanı was developed under the leadership of Turaç with the participation of companies working in the fields of small arms, robotics, mechanics, algorithms and electro-optics. The system was first presented at MÜSİAD EXPO 2026 in Istanbul.
