C-UAS laser training system for counter-drone training
The last line of defence. Trained against real drones.
Laser engagement training that lets soldiers engage real drones with their own service weapons, scores every hit instantly and keeps the drone flying.
In service with UK defence customers. Delivered, set up and supported worldwide by ShootHouse.
Drones are on every battlefield. Training to defeat them is still too rare.
Live-fire drone training is complicated, expensive and hard to make safe. Every engagement can cost an aircraft, ranges need extensive safety planning, and too few soldiers engage a real drone before they deploy. Laser training changes the economics, so units can train often, at scale, against the real thing.
- Drones destroyed and replaced after each hit
- Specialist ranges and complex range safety plans
- Limited engagements per soldier, per year
- Little useful feedback for the pilot
- The same drones fly session after session
- Train on ordinary training areas, from vehicles and boats
- As many engagements as your training day allows
- Instant hit feedback for shooter, pilot and umpire
Fit. Engage. Confirm.
Four components. Your weapons, your drones.
Weapon emitter
Rail-mounted laser unit for the soldier’s own weapon, used with a BFA.
Drone sensor kit
Lightweight 360° receivers that fit commercial, custom and FPV drones.
Base stations
Shooter and pilot units that receive and announce every hit in real time.
Calibration target
Zeroes each emitter to its weapon in minutes before training starts.
Built for how drones are really engaged
Realistic lead
A built-in delay based on engagement distance simulates the round’s time of flight, so shooters must lead a moving target.
Shotgun to rifle
Simulated calibres from 12-gauge shotgun through to 5.56 mm, including fragmentation rounds.
Who hit what
Every shot is coded, so the system knows which shooter hit which drone and which sensor.
Complex terrain
Hit data reaches the base station across vegetation, buildings and non-line-of-sight ground.
Multi-asset scenarios
Multiple shooters, drones and base stations at once, in one scenario or several running in parallel.
Commercial, custom and FPV
Works with the drone types your adversaries use, including FPV platforms.
Zeroed in minutes
A dedicated sight-alignment target collimates each emitter to the weapon sight quickly before training starts.
Post-training analysis
Engagement data is captured for after action review and for building the evidence behind wider rollout.
From individual drills to swarm attack
Single-operator kit
One emitter, one base station, a pair of drone sensors and a sight-alignment target. Everything a shooter and a pilot need to start training.
Platoon-level swarm
Multiple drones per swarm, each with top and bottom sensors, against a full platoon of shooters with individual feedback.
Unit and formation rollout
No hard limit on shooters or drones. Run many parallel scenarios across a training estate and grow the fleet as demand grows.
From first demo to a trained unit
We demonstrate on your ground, deliver and set up the kit, train your instructors and pilots, and support the system for its whole life. You supply the drones and pilots; we make every flight count.
- Live demonstrations on your own training area
- Set-up and instructor training on delivery
- Spares and repair packages to keep systems available
- Global support from our UK headquarters, delivered locally through in-country partners and field teams
