Heavy machine guns and RBS 70 NG missiles were tested against the drones, exploring cost-effective counter-drone strategies. Small arms, interceptor rounds, and layered systems may complement missile defences against swarming, low-cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) threats.Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the evolving threat of high-speed and swarming drones in modern conflict.
- Identify the range of kinetic options, from firearms to surface-to-air missiles, for counter-UAV operations.
- Recognize the relevance of integrating layered, cost-effective drone defence systems into ADF/RAAF operational planning.
