DPG - Drone Platform Gun
A Lightweight Kinetic Effector Engineered for Counter-UAS Missions
Modern threats demand systems that can move faster, deploy farther, and respond with greater precision. The StrikeCore DPG (Drone Platform Gun) is a lightweight, electrically actuated lethal kinetic effector designed for integration with unmanned aerial systems, ground-based platforms, and mobile defensive configurations.
Developed as part of StrikeCore’s layered Counter-UAS architecture, the DPG is built to provide defense, federal, and approved public-safety partners with a compact and adaptable defeat capability for emerging small-UAS threats.
Lightweight. Modular. Mission adaptable.

A New Approach to Kinetic Counter-UAS
Small unmanned aircraft systems are changing the operational environment. Traditional defensive systems can be costly, difficult to deploy, or poorly suited for smaller, fast-moving aerial threats.
The DPG is being developed to address that gap.
Designed around a compact, lightweight architecture, the DPG supports integration into unmanned aircraft, ground stations, vehicle-mounted platforms, and fixed-site security applications. Its purpose is simple: provide operators with a scalable kinetic option as part of an integrated Counter-UAS solution.
Rather than functioning as a stand-alone weapon, the DPG is intended to operate within a broader system that may include:
Detection and tracking sensors
Semi-Autonomous AI-assisted target classification
Operator-controlled engagement workflows
Aerial or ground-based deployment
Non-kinetic and non-lethal companion effectors
Open-architecture command-and-control integration.
