The ZAK-30 Citadel is a 30mm turret designed to engage a variety of fixed- and rotary-wing unmanned airborne systems. The 30mm projectiles feature shrapnel and controlled detonation for optimized target destruction against a variety of drone types. The Citadel has been designed to protect stationary locations 24/7 from individual drones and swarms of drones.
