The conflict in Ukraine has shown the extensive use of UAVs, prompting militaries to integrate and counter these capabilities. Key conclusions are: UAVs must be simplified and optimised for specific tasks while balancing cost and reliability, require constant updates to software, sensors, and radios, and need procurement to focus on subsystems. Effective UAV use relies on skilled crews, planning, and integration with artillery, electronic warfare, and air defense, necessitating specialist formations. Current regulations hinder UAV effectiveness, so NATO countries should streamline regulations. Forces must be prepared to counter UAV threats to maintain situational awareness and precision. #UAV #MilitaryTech #PrecisionStrike #DefenseInnovation #UkraineConflict #MilitaryIntegration #EWarfare #ArtillerySupport #NATOPolicy #SituationalAwareness

What exactly is needed to build an effective UAV force? The attached RUSI paper analyzed the war in Ukraine to develop six conclusions to develop a UAV complex capable of providing a critical edge in land warfare. They are: 1. UAVs’ primary offer is their ability to deliver effect at either a cost or a scale that cannot be matched by other means. 2. UAVs should be treated not as platforms but as systems. 3. The effectiveness of UAVs is largely determined by their layered employment, by crew skill, and by the capacity to plan flights. 4. A UAV battalion, equipped to deliver close and deep strike, deep ISR and enabling action, can support a large area of battlespace. 5. Regulation of UAVs is a major constraint upon their effective design, procurement and employment, and thus on their battlefield effectiveness. 6. A force that is aware of and equipped to counter the threat of massed UAVs can degrade their efficiency. In summary, we need faster development, lower level employment, less bureaucracy, and more awareness and corresponding systems at all levels are needed today for success tomorrow. While we’ve started, we admittedly have a long way to go to prepare for the realities of the next battlefield. However, I am confident that by harnessing all elements of national power we will get there.

#DisruptiveTech 🔴 Future unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used by the military will require fully integrated, higher agility unconventional weapons and armor systems such as electromagnetic weapons and directed energy weapon systems. To meet these requirements, hybrid energy sources and power systems are currently the best alternative to support the demand for propulsion, continuous auxiliary power, and pulsed power demand for weapons and operation of the UAVs. Development of these weapons and technologies are progressing at a fast rate and can be demonstrated at scale today, but they also must integrate rugged energy sources and power supplies capable of operation in harsh conditions and in tandem with extreme weapons. In a combat unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform, the power source primarily consists of an energy-storage system consisting of advanced batteries and high-voltage capacitors. The power source must meet the demand of mobility, lethality, survivability as well as for uses including command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR). #drones #uav #energy #military #laser #c4isr #electromagnetic Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting

#DisruptiveTech 🔴 More news from US Army exercise EDGE24. Under a scorching desert sun, three uncrewed aerial vehicles scanned miles of rugged terrain, with only the broadest of objectives: to search an area for threats. The UAVs picked up RF energy to detect possible threats, assessed the risk they posed, and recorded their locations. Within seconds, the UAVs sent the data to a command station on the ground, which tasked other UAVs to confirm the targets and simulate a strike. The military exercise in Yuma, Arizona, was part of the U.S. Army's EDGE24 experiment, where teams from RTX businesses Collins Aerospace and Raytheon did something in flight that they had only done in simulations. UAVs have been used in reconnaissance and strike missions for years, but the demo showed they could complete them with human guidance for only critical mission decisions. The demonstration used two RTX autonomy solutions: Collins Aerospace’s RapidEdge mission system and Raytheon’s CODE autonomy. Rather than carrying out step-by-step instructions or a pre-planned route, the UAVs were provided a general mission. They were then able to communicate with each other and figure out how to achieve the goal while reacting to obstacles in real time. #EDGE24 #uav #drones #autonomous #usarmy #raytehon #collinsaerospace Campaign Catapult, Pravo Consulting

MBDA and Rheinmetall have agreed to continue their successful joint development of laser weapons, with the latest partnership focused on having a maritime anti-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) laser weapon to the market within the next five to six years. The venture looks to produce an affordable maritime laser weapon for use on ships in lieu of expensive air defence missiles. Between June 2022 and September 2023, both firms demonstrated a laser weapon which had been integrated on the German Navy's Sachsen-class frigate, Sachsen. During this on-board trial, the demonstrator fired over 100 test shots. Laser-focused on drones The United Kingdom had also successfully test-fired the DragonFire laser directed energy weapon (LDEW) against aerial targets for the first time this January, the result of collaboration between major partners such as MBDA, Leonardo and QinetiQ. It costs less than US$13 per shot to deliver intense high-powered beams of light over long ranges at the speed of light. The system would likely be a long-term low-cost alternative to take down UAVs via missiles. Recently in July, Raytheon's High-Energy Laser Weapon System (HELWS) mounted on a British Army vehicle also completed a test firing. Utilising technology similar to the DragonFire, the HELWS is a lightweight portable system that can be fitted on vehicles to counteract NATO Class 1 UAVs. In the same month, South Korea also announced plans to begin production of its Block-I laser weapon this year. To be manufactured by Hanwha Aerospace, the platform will provide defences against smaller UAVs at close range by firing laser beams generated by fibre optics at targets. It can silently fire laser beams invisible to the naked eye as long as electricity is supplied, with each shot costing a little over US$1.40 and said to have attained 100% success in downing targets in live-fire tests. https://lnkd.in/eE_HAF64
