The battlefield has changed – ever since the dawn of drone warfare. In just three years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the rapid proliferation of cheap, mass-produced drones has transformed the modern battlespace, forcing militaries and defence companies to rethink doctrine and develop new solutions to counter this emerging threat.

Today’s battlefields demonstrate that Australian military commanders will need the capability to defend against large numbers of nimble, unmanned aerial systems used by opponents for awareness, targeting and attacking.

Amid a growing threat picture for land forces, the need to develop complementary air defence networks is critical. Not only must air defence systems – usually gun- or missile-based – defend against traditional air-breathing targets such as aircraft and helicopters, but contemporary conflicts have become much more complicated due to the proliferation of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAV), loitering munitions, and cruise missiles.
