US and Philippines Collaborate on Revolutionary Drone Defense Technology
In a groundbreaking move, the Philippine Air Force's 960th Air and Missile Defense Group and a United States task force have joined forces to test cutting-edge technology capable of disabling drones mid-air. This innovative solution utilizes high-power microwave systems, which can potentially 'fry' unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a matter of seconds. The experience exchange, held on April 24, aimed to facilitate knowledge sharing and cooperation between the two nations on the use of this advanced drone defense technology. As the use of drones continues to rise, the development of effective countermeasures has become a pressing concern for military and defense agencies worldwide. The integration of high-power microwave systems into existing defense infrastructure could provide a significant boost to national security, particularly in the realm of drone surveillance and counter-terrorism. With the increasing importance of drone defense and counter-drone technology, this collaboration marks a crucial step forward in the pursuit of innovative solutions to emerging threats.
