The Air Defense tag covers the evolving technologies and doctrines that protect modern forces from aerial threats. From short-range mobile interceptors to multi-layered integrated systems, air defense defines how militaries maintain control of the skies. This section highlights innovations in radar, sensors, and missile interceptors that enhance situational awareness and enable faster, more precise engagements against hostile aircraft, drones, and missiles.
In recent years, the rise of UAVs, loitering munitions, and hypersonic weapons has transformed air defense from a static shield into a dynamic, networked capability. Modern systems now integrate real-time data from satellites, command centers, and ground-based sensors, creating a unified air picture that connects artillery, electronic warfare, and C2 elements into a single defensive web.
