Global Anti-UAV Game Accelerates Upgrade

Russian Defense Ministry said on March 11 that Russian air defense forces shot down 337 UAVs overnight, setting a new high in the number of single interceptions since the outbreak of the conflict.

Looking at the regional conflicts in recent years, from the stunning debut of Turkey's TB-2 unmanned aerial vehicle on the Naka battlefield to the precise attack of suicide unmanned aerial vehicle clusters on key Saudi facilities in the Middle East battlefield. From the classic example of "Haima" system and unmanned aerial vehicles in the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to the current use of unmanned aerial vehicle cluster tactics, unmanned aerial vehicles have repeatedly made contributions in modern warfare. In the face of the accelerated wave of intelligent and unmanned warfare, many countries and regional organizations in the world have incorporated anti-UAV operations into their strategic layout, striving to take the initiative in the offensive and defensive games of future wars.

speed up the introduction of strategic planning

, driven by the dual drive of artificial intelligence and unmanned system technology, unmanned aerial vehicles have broken through the traditional weapon effectiveness boundary-the cost of a single integrated unmanned aerial vehicle is less than 1% of that of a modern fighter, but it can achieve more than 90% of battlefield coverage. This "cost-effective revolution" forces countries to elevate anti-drone operations to a strategic dimension. Some countries and regional organizations proceed from the strategic level, strengthen top-level planning, improve the organizational structure, continue to promote technological innovation, and comprehensively strengthen the construction of anti UAV combat capability.

facing the "wolf pack tactics" of cluster drones, countries are upgrading equipment to deal with new threats. Artificial intelligence-enabled decision-making system, directional energy weapons to build protective barriers, modular equipment to achieve rapid deployment ...... Anti-UAV operations have entered a new stage of "intelligence and technology integration.

miniaturized individual equipment has attracted attention. Recent battlefield practice has proved that individual anti-UAV equipment lacks sufficient air alert capability, and it is difficult to deal with threats alone. In order to effectively enhance the ability of infantry or small teams to deal with the threat of drones, countries are accelerating the development of portable anti-drone equipment. The individual wearable device integrates a variety of sensors, combined with remote radar station data, can sense the threat of UAV in real time, and provides a new idea for the development of individual equipment.

the current, UAV offensive and defensive confrontation has shown a "double spiral" development trend. From electronic warfare to directed energy, from individual equipment to system confrontation, anti-drone technology is reshaping the rules of modern warfare at an unprecedented speed. It can be predicted that under the promotion of intelligent and unmanned wave, more thrilling offensive and defensive games will be staged in the future battlefield.
