PROTECTION AGAINST THREATS FROM THE AIR
Drones have become a very particular challenge on the modern battlefield. Particularly small commercially available drones pose a massive threat against military assets. Drones can provide real-time reconnaissance or be rigged with explosives for remote suicide attacks.
Such weaponized micro-drones are a relatively new type of weapon, and every military and law enforcement unit needs to learn how to defend against them. "Defense Against Drones" provides the first open-source overview of how to survive and win in the fight against drones.
This book answers the question of what tactical drone defense means and analyzes drone defense tactics from the front-lines of the Ukraine war. The book also lays the foundations for further discussion of the topic of defense against drones.
This book describes the current spectrum of tactical drone defense measures - including protection against micro-drones, the increasing ubiquity of cheap drones as the "Kalashnikovs of the Skies", experiences from Ukraine, the 10 Commandments of Drone Defense, and an appendix of recommended further reading.
