Military and commercially available drones are an increasing threat to critical infrastructure, armed forces, and public spaces. Many counter-drone solutions are limited in range, flexibility, or safe operation in complex environments. In urban areas, minimizing collateral damage is essential. RWS addresses this challenge with URBAN DRONE DEFENCE (UDD), a practical kinetic solution.
UDD is designed to counter improvised and commercial UAVs, particularly in urban and suburban environments. With an effective range of up to 300 metres, it enables controlled engagement while minimizing risks to people, infrastructure, and surrounding areas. Its lightweight, robust design allows for easy handling and deployment in the protection of public spaces, critical infrastructure, and military or security operations.
The use of low-emission components, including the patented SINTOX primer, significantly reduces user exposure to harmful substances.
Available in 7.62 × 51 millimetres:
UDD LIGHT (1.0 g / 15 gr): Effective up to 100 metres, optimized for densely populated urban areas, available with tracer.
UDD HEAVY (3.7 g / 57 gr): Effective up to 300 metres, ideal for suburban and rural environments, available with tracer.
Key Features:
Armed forces and law enforcement agencies around the world, each with diverse operational requirements, rely on our high-quality ammunition products. In addition to our standard ammunition, which is fully NATO-qualified, we are Europe's leading manufacturer of reduced-emission ammunition for operational use, training, and simulation. Our portfolio is complemented by specialized products designed for mission-specific applications.
ACTION Line
Conventional full metal jacket (FMJ) projectiles no longer fully meet the requirements of modern law enforcement duty ammunition. Their limited energy transfer in the target medium can result in over-penetration of soft targets, increasing the risk to innocent bystanders.
With the growing threat of terrorism and escalating violence, law enforcement professionals require ammunition that reliably stops and contains threats while significantly reducing the risk of collateral damage. Our ACTION Line delivers exactly these capabilities. Combined with our patented SINTOX® Forensis primer technology, these products also minimize harmful emissions for the shooter while enabling forensic analysis when required.
DM Line
Our DM Line has a long and proven history in simulation, operational use, and training with the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr). It is built on two essential principles: uncompromising reliability under the most demanding climatic conditions and consistent emission reduction through SINTOX® primer technology and REACH-compliant propellant powders.
Only products that meet the highest manufacturing standards successfully complete the rigorous qualification process of our partner and are introduced into service as the German Standard Model ("Deutsches Modell"). These products are trusted by military snipers, close protection units, and other specialized forces.
DAG Line
The DAG Line, named after the original company designation of Dynamit Nobel AG, is internationally recognized as an exceptionally reliable ammunition series of the highest quality.
Used daily by law enforcement agencies and special operations units for both training and operational missions, the product range covers four calibers with a variety of projectile types and loadings: 9×19 mm, 4.6×30 mm, 5.56×45 mm, and 12/70.
All pistol and centerfire rifle cartridges are equipped with the heavy-metal-free, low-emission SINTOX® primer, while the shotgun ammunition features the corrosion-free SINOXID® primer.
NT Line
We are proud to offer a product range that fully complies with stringent NATO standards and is available in the calibers 9×19 mm, 5.56×45 mm, 7.62×51 mm, and 12.7×99 mm.
This comprehensive portfolio supports a wide variety of operational, simulation, and training applications across multiple weapon systems. Every product in the NT Line fully meets NATO qualification and performance requirements.
