The ES-60, an electromagnetic shotgun, is designed to create high-speed electromagnetic interference to disrupt communication between drones and their control units, and so cause enemy devices to malfunction. According to Harp Arge, it is an effective solution in the fight against the drone since it does not harm human health and environmental safety and produces a silent and fast result.

The new ES-60 Electromagnetic Drone Savar system weighs 2.5 kg and can disable enemy drones within 3 kilometers. The company said the newly installed antenna technology allowed it to significantly reduce the size and weight of the system. The firm also added that these weapons are made using more than 70% of local raw materials and will only be provided to government agencies in accordance with weapons regulations.

Harp Arge, which has developed the drone-fighting system, has recently been acquired by Ekba Holding and developed its investment network. The company started working to establish a production line under the roof of the new Ekba Holding. Mass production of the ES-60 Electromagnetic Gun will begin after the production line is completed.
