Dualee shows its eight-shotgun LIVET M4 counter-drone turret to Denmark's armed forces

Italian defence technology company Dualee says its LIVET M4 turret, which carries eight Benelli shotguns, was put through a live-fire demonstration for the Danish Armed Forces. The company posted about it on social media on Thursday but gave no date or place for the demonstration.

LIVET is a remotely operated weapon station for a vehicle or a fixed site. According to Dualee, it uses AI to detect, identify and track micro and mini drones and can engage targets on its own, but it fires only on the gunner's final decision.

Each gun is a Benelli M4 Drone Guardian, an M4 shotgun adapted to shoot down small drones such as FPV attack drones. Benelli says the gun works best up to about 50 metres and can reach 100 metres in good conditions with tungsten shot. Beretta Defense Technologies, Benelli's parent group, first showed the turret at Eurosatory in Paris in June.

Dualee credited its research and development work with Benelli Armi and did not say whether Denmark is considering buying the system.
