// UNMANNED SYSTEMS AND NEXT-GEN WARFARE TERM
Anti-Drone
Anti-drone refers to systems, technologies, or strategies specifically developed to detect, track, identify, and neutralize unauthorized or hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These measures aim to protect airspace and assets from drone-related threats.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Anti-drone technology encompasses counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems that employ various kinetic, electronic warfare (EW), or cyber capabilities to detect, track, classify, and mitigate rogue or hostile unmanned aerial systems (UAS) threats, ensuring airspace security and asset protection in military and civilian domains.
BACKGROUND
Anti-drone meshes refer to metal lattices that surround ground military vehicles to provide additional protection from drone strikes, a practice which became widespread during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Such protection uses a spaced armour approach, and is designed to induce the premature detonation or malfunction of incoming munitions.
