L’UE pourrait améliorer considérablement ses capacités de détection des drones d’ici un an, mais il faudra beaucoup plus de temps pour développer un réseau terrestre et maritime capable de suivre et de détruire des cibles, a déclaré Andrius Kubilius.

DroneShield is holding talks with defense and commercial helicopter primes about mounting its DroneSentry-X Mk2 detection and defeat device on the underside of platforms.

Russian engineers have begun testing a new battlefield counter-drone system that blends FPV (First Person View) guidance with rocket propulsion, according to descriptions of recent field experiments. Developed by the “Vektor” group, the interceptor combines elements of a man-portable air defense system (MANPADS) with first-person view drone controls. The concept centers on a tube-launched drone

On 13 November 1973, an MQM-33B aerial target drone 3.6 m long was shot down by a 100 kW class Carbon dioxide laser over Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. A half century later, laser weapons finally had their combat debut.

The system is designed to intercept and destroy a wide range of aerial threats with precision, near-zero per-interception cost, and minimal collateral impact. According to Rafael, the new

The U.S. Army has initiated the deployment of counter-drone technologies on its armored platforms in response to the evolving threat posed by low-cost, first-person-view (FPV) unmanned aerial systems. The move reflects a growing recognition within the Army’s leadership that these small, improvised strike drones represent a credible challenge on the modern battlefield. According to the
