While hobbyists operating drones in public areas or near private property for filming purposes has become a mere nuisance, drones of all sizes are also becoming easier to acquire and weaponise.

Easy to weaponise, and increasingly effi cient, drones are rapidly changing warfare. No wonder militaries are eager to integrate AI into counter-drone systems, transforming their ability to counter, spot incoming aerial threats and ultimately bring them down. Lauren Hurrell talks to experts David Shank, former commandant at the US Army Air Defense Artillery School, and Commander Jessica Anderson, a US Department of Defense spokesperson from the Chief Digital and Artifi cial Intelligence Offi ce (CDAO), to discuss how AI is set to transform C-UAS, and how this technology might be deployed.

In the war against Ukraine, to give one example, Russia has used Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones to target critical infrastructure. Boasting a range of over 1,000km, these drones were able to bypass Ukrainian defences by flying low and striking from unexpected directions.
