- Analyse how drone incursions threaten civilian aviation and critical infrastructure resilience across NATO states.
- Evaluate the role of hybrid tactics—cyber, disinformation, and airspace violations—in shaping European security responses.
- Consider implications for RAAF force protection, counter-UAS measures, and interoperability with allied partners in hybrid threat environments.
