Aerial drones – especially small commercially available drones – have become a unique and ubiquitous challenge on the modern battlefield and pose a major threat to traditional military assets. Such small drones can be used to provide real-time reconnaissance, and/or be rigged with explosives and used as loitering munitions for remote kamikaze 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, analyzes drone defense tactics and lessons learned from the Russian war against Ukraine, and provides a good foundation for further discussion and analysis.
Topics covered in this volume include 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.
“DEFENSE AGAINST DRONES: Protection Against Threats From The Air” is available now on Amazon.com for $19.99, plus taxes and shipping.
