Grouse’s Counter-Drone Suite
This mod is geared towards including an extensive and immersive counter-drone suite. Given the pervasive threats of both military and commercial UAVs in the modern battlefield, technological solutions to this threat are needed.
****
Currently, this mod includes:
-DroneGun Tactical, in both Rifle and Launcher versions
Future Updates:
-DroneGun mk 4 model as secondary C-UAS gun.
-Static Area Drone Jammer;
-Vehicle Drone Jammer;
-Static Drone Radar;
-Vehicle-borne Drone Radar;
-Modules to turn vehicles/props into jammers or radars.
****
Functionality:
DroneGun Tactical provides a variety of effects to enemy drones, depending on one’s aim & the hardening of the drone to Electronic Warfare:
These effects are called for depending on how "close" the Electromagnetic Wave shot by the DroneGun Tactical passes by the drone:
-It can completely destroy drones.
-It can force drones to land or return to their operator, disabling them until re-set by their operator.
-It can temporarily force drones to land or stay in place, before continuing with previous waypoints
-If signal is weak, it can damage the connection, resulting in intermittent static feeds for the drone’s operator (future update).
-If a disabled drone is recovered, there’s a chance of extracting the drone operator’s location by examining its recorded videos & data.
****
DroneGun Tactical’s workings are fully customizable with CBA_Settings!
-One can specify whether a particular class of drones falls within the commercial, military high-end, or military low-end categories. (All drones set to Commercial-category by default).
-One can specify the resistance value of each category by giving it a value of 0-100, with 100 meaning fully invulnerable to EW.
-One can specify the ranges of distances in which different effects are called for by modifying RUF_FriedBeg/End, RUF_DisabledBeg/End, and RUF_FrozenBeg/End values.

Only drone I’ve confirmed my gun doesn’t affect is RHS’s Raven, since it’s purely scripted and NOT an "Arma UAV"
