Defense Counter-UAS

Defense Sector Top 1300x300

Now more than ever, airspace is key terrain. State, as well as non-state actors, now have an inexpensive and effective airborne capability through the use of drones or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to conduct intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, conduct airstrikes, deliver explosives, or carry out other asymmetric warfare operations.

 

Drones have changed the course of modern warfare, and these tools’ constantly evolving technology and capabilities pose a significant threat to military installations, equipment, and personnel.

 

Also referred to as military counter-UAS, military counter-drone, military anti-drone, defense counter-drone, defense anti-drone, combat counter-UAS, combat counter-drone, and combat anti-drone.

 

The following resources have been curated by C-UAS Hub to provide information to the defense sector.
