Recent acts of aggression around the world have seen a significant rise in the use of both rudimentary and advanced UxVs as weapons. The scale of such attacks simply overwhelms conventional defense systems, rendering them ineffective in time of need. Additionally, the cost of interception is incredibly high, giving an unfair advantage to aggressors. This talk presents Scura’s work on the development of scalable capabilities for a befitting response.
