Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and SIG SAUER conducted a live-fire demonstration of the FIRE STORM 250, a tactical unmanned aerial system (UAS) equipped with the M250 machine gun. The test, held in Israel, showcased the drone's ability to identify and engage targets from the air using both single-shot and semi-automatic firing modes. The drone can remain airborne for up to three hours and is designed for armed reconnaissance and close support for small units. It incorporates advanced control algorithms for accurate targeting while hovering. The M250 can carry 200 rounds of ammunition and is adaptable to different calibers. The system is intended for use in austere environments, requiring minimal logistical support. The demonstration precedes the AUSA 2026 exhibition in Washington, highlighting the rapid development of this technology.
