Beretta Defense Technologies plans to make Eurosatory 2026 its coming-out party for LIVET, an eight-barrel remote-controlled weapon station built around the kinetic counter-drone logic that has driven the BDT group's C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems) development for the past several years. The platform mounts no less than eight Benelli Drone Guardian shotgun systems on a single automated turret capable of tracking and engaging drone targets without requiring an operator to physically aim the weapon.

Drones. One of the most challenging tactical threats to emerge in recent years were unsurprisingly a key element of this year’s DSEI exhibition in London. Dozens of companies were offering their answer to the challenge; electronic warfare systems which could jam drones, lasers which could burn them out of the sky, medium caliber auto cannons which can shoot them down from a mile away and small missiles which can neutralise drone targets a couple of miles away.
