The M11 was born out of a partnership between Barretta and Raytheon, aiming to craft a dedicated anti-drone arsenal. Twin 20mm cannons roared to life at an astonishing rate of 2,800 rounds per minute, unleashing specially designed FF20 projectiles. The "FF" in FF20 stands for Flash Fragmentation, as these rounds were engineered to produce a blinding flash of light spanning the Ultra Violet to Infra Red spectrum while dispersing shrapnel at their targets. This dazzling flash was intended to disorient drone cameras, rendering it harder for them to navigate and deploy their targeting systems. The U.S. Naval variant, designated M11-23A1, leveraged a high-tech short wavelength AESA radar to pinpoint threats within an 8-mile radius. Within 4 miles, its smaller targeting radar locked onto the highest threat, engaging with precision. Additionally, the gun was equipped with a laser range finder and IR camera for manual targeting, though once the FF20 rounds started detonating, these supplementary systems became less effective.
