Description:
Drone Defence: The Shield of the Modern Battlefield is a deep, documentary-style examination of how modern nations are fighting back against the rise of autonomous drones. Drawing from real data and on-the-ground experiences in Ukraine, Israel, and NATO border states, it reveals the unseen architecture of modern air defence - radar grids, electronic warfare, artificial intelligence, and the people who keep them alive.
Written in a clear, narrative voice that blends storytelling with factual analysis, the book traces how drones evolved from tools of observation into instruments of modern war - and how a new generation of counter-systems is emerging to stop them. Each chapter moves through real operations, technologies, and ethical questions:
How do countries detect and neutralise drones in active combat zones?
What are the political and legal limits of electronic counter-measures?
Can AI truly defend without crossing moral boundaries?
From field-built jammers to laser walls and predictive AI command networks, Drone Defence explains how the modern "layered shield" works - and what it will take to sustain it in the years ahead.
A compelling continuation of Tactical Drone Warfare and Drone Frontlines, this volume completes the trilogy with a focus on protection, resilience, and the human dimension of high-tech defence.
For readers of modern warfare, military technology, and geopolitical analysis, this book is an essential exploration of how nations defend not only their borders - but the very sky above them.
