The Threat Landscape

Modern unmanned aerial systems have rewritten the rules of warfare. Commercial drones costing a few hundred dollars can now carry payloads that threaten critical infrastructure, disrupt military operations, and endanger civilian populations. UAS threats have increased by over 400% since 2022, yet traditional air defense systems—designed for fast jets and cruise missiles—cannot economically engage these low, slow, small targets.

The defensive advantage has shifted to the attacker. Warning times for UAS attacks average less than 60 seconds. Threats arrive 24/7, requiring persistent defense that legacy systems cannot provide. State actors, non-state groups, and hostile individuals now deploy sophisticated aerial threats with minimal resources and maximum impact.

The gap between threat and defense has never been wider.
Until now.
