TMC-DR Series – Anti-Drone Solutions

As drone technology becomes more accessible and increasingly weaponized, defense and law enforcement agencies are under pressure to field countermeasures that can neutralize unmanned aerial systems (UAS) immediately and reliably. In response to this rapidly evolving threat landscape, Tungsten Munitions Corp (TMC) developed the TMC-DR Series — a line of anti-drone tungsten ammunition purpose-built for precision engagement at extended ranges.

The DR Series is engineered for tactical and operational teams who require a non-electronic, low-latency solution to physically disable UAVs in flight. Unlike jamming technologies, which are limited by signal interference or frequency dependency, the TMC-DR Series offers a direct-action kinetic response. Leveraging ultra-dense tungsten shot, these rounds are optimized for maximum impact, minimal spread, and reliable pattern integrity — even against fast-moving or small-profile drones.

Whether you’re defending a forward operating base, securing a mobile convoy, or protecting critical infrastructure from aerial surveillance or payload drops, the TMC-DR Series delivers the stopping power needed to neutralize threats before they reach their objective.

The Threat: Evolving Drone Warfare

From commercial quadcopters used for reconnaissance to fixed-wing drones capable of payload delivery, the rise of low-cost UAVs has introduced a new dimension of asymmetric threat. In both domestic and global theaters, militaries and law enforcement agencies are facing challenges that legacy ammunition was not designed to address.

Small drones often fly low, fast, and erratically — making them difficult to hit with conventional shotgun rounds or sidearms. Additionally, their lightweight frames require a uniquely dense projectile to ensure incapacitation, as lead buckshot often lacks sufficient energy at extended distances.

The TMC-DR Series was developed in direct response to these realities. It transforms existing shotgun platforms into effective anti-drone tools — enabling rapid response teams to neutralize airborne threats with standard issue weapon systems.

Tungsten is more than just a heavier alternative to lead — it’s a strategic material with unmatched density (18.1 g/cc vs. 11.3 g/cc for lead) and terminal ballistics that allow for:

Higher downrange energy retention

Delivers decisive kinetic impact at extended ranges, ensuring aerial targets are effectively neutralized before they reach the perimeter.

Tighter shot patterns at distance

Maintains dense pellet groupings beyond 75 meters, increasing hit probability against fast-moving drone targets.

Increased resistance to wind drift

Tungsten’s mass and stability minimize trajectory deviation in crosswinds, critical for precision in outdoor engagements.

Superior armor penetration capability (for hardened drones or composite frames)

Engineered to defeat reinforced drone components, including carbon fiber housings and composite structures often used in military-grade UAVs.

The DR Series uses 100% tungsten shot to deliver the force necessary to disrupt drone rotors, pierce structural components, and bring UAVs down — reliably and efficiently — even at distances up to 100 meters.

Performance Characteristics

High Payload Density

Each shell carries an optimized volume of ultra-dense tungsten shot in carefully selected sizes (commonly #6 or hybrid loads) to ensure tight pattern cohesion and impact saturation at range.

Extended Engagement Range

Unlike traditional buckshot or steel loads, TMC-DR maintains effective energy and grouping beyond 75 meters — enabling drone engagement before threats can close in.

Low Recoil / High Control

Engineered to deliver consistent pattern density without sacrificing controllability. Suitable for rapid follow-up shots or multi-drone defense scenarios.

Operational Reliability

Every lot of DR Series ammunition undergoes rigorous QA and live fire testing at TPW’s U.S.-based facility, exceeding SAAMI specifications and internal standards.
