The US and top NATO official calls on leaders to prepare for 'wartime scenario

Eighty years (80) after World War II, which ended with a nuclear catastrophe, the world is now heading for the possibility of another nuclear conflict in 2027-2035. The US and NATO warned that Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and the ongoing continuation of nuclear rhetoric and nuclear warnings, are dangerous and bringing the world closer to a nuclear catastrophe, and the possibility of World War III.

This complex and dangerous warfare strategic threats are related to the possibility of bringing back the 1980s Soviet Union, the post-Cold War era threats and issues of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones carrying nuclear weapons and other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Explosive (CBRNE), and their delivery systems into future conflicts.

For the past 15 years (since 2009), we have been researching, designing, and inventing a "technological invention" of a new Air-based air defense system known as "Mother Hen and Parasite Chicks Air-based air defense system" (MHPC-ABADS), also referred to as the EQQUERA Air-based air defense system (EABADS) interceptors that intend to detect and defeat incoming Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), drones, and various other missile threats.

The "technological invention" focuses specifically on finding solutions to address the complex and long-overdue issues related to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones carrying nuclear and other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN), and their delivery system. This crucial issue emerged during the 1980s post-Cold War era among the seven industrialized nations: the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada.

The United States Air Force's air power studies

In 1997, the United States Air Force's air power studies,  "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?"  detailed the capability of UAVs and drones carrying WMD and their delivery system. These studies also commented, "The potential exists for the proliferation of both UAVs and WMD to become widespread and thus a major security concern. There is no clear solution to this problem; however, actions including bringing the issue to the forefront, strengthening export and arms controls, deterrence, and defense will have a synergistic effect that will help mitigate this threat." (Ref: The US Air Force studies)

These Studies further described: "WMD delivery systems often receive less attention than do the weapons themselves." This lack of attention to the delivery system issue may have already led to the birth of a new and third revolution of warfare, which began with Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

In October 2023, Caitlin Lee (Credit: Rand Corp), who heads the Center for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Autonomy Studies at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies in Arlington, Virginia, remarked, "This is something we haven't seen before; this is the first time we're witnessing drone-on-drone conflict."

Our Technological Invention

The invention is designed as short-range interceptors between space-based interceptors, the United States' "Golden Dome for America" (Ref: Rand Corp.), previously identified as "Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or Star Wars", and the Ground-based interceptors, known as the "Israel Iron Dome" systems (Ref: Wikipedia.org).

The invention mainly focuses on 21st-century warfare techniques and new deterrence and defense strategies that are crucial for the highly complex, perilous next-generation weapons and air warfare, the "third revolution in warfare", 2030 and beyond, for the next 75 years (2099), or perhaps forever. (NATO 2099 graphic novel imagines the future of the Alliance) (NATO 2099 graphic novel imagines the future of the Alliance).

NATO 2030 initiative - ready today to face tomorrow's challenges

In November 2021, "NATO has reached out to civil society, youth, and the private sector for their input on NATO 2030 ". The "NATO 2030 initiative is about making sure our Alliance remains ready today to face tomorrow's challenges." (Ref:NATO 2030). In addition, in late 2024, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said it is time to shift to a wartime mindset(Ref: BBC News), and called on all allies to prepare for a conventional wartime scenario.

World War I and II - the power of technological inventions and patent rights

During World War I and World War II, the first and second revolutions in warfare, a combination of inventions and intellectual property rights, significantly influenced the military powers of the US and NATO allies. Additionally, these inventions also significantly altered the nature of warfare, including the development of new weaponry, technological advancements, and the modernization of warfare strategies, which remained in effect for many decades. Some of these transformations include the development of gunpowder, machine guns, tanks, aircraft, trench warfare strategies during World War I, and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, as well as the evolving nature of nuclear strategies during World War II.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine transformed future warfare and initiated the third revolution in warfare.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, has become the bloodiest war in Europe since World War II. This war not only became the bloodiest but also transformed traditional warfare strategies into modern warfare, initiating the beginning of the third revolution in artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous warfare.

This transformation of warfare has already begun to increase the complexity and danger of future conflicts, including potential nuclear aggression against the United States and its allies. (Ref: Russia’s use of nuclear threats during the Ukraine conflict. Research Briefing December 20, 2024, UK House of Commons Library) Given the current strategic environment, new deterrence has become more important than it was at the end of the Cold War.

Integrated countermeasure systems for multi-domain defense

Our technological invention comprises a family of system-of-systems architecture, a family of UAVs, drones, and integrated missile defense platforms, as well as a significantly improved short-range air defense system that has been critically needed and overdue since the end of the Cold War. Most importantly, the system to detect, intercept, and destroy incoming UAVs, drones, and missile threats in all domains.

The invention is an air-based anti-UAVs, drones, and counter missile system designed with next-generation autonomous systems and Artificial Intelligence AI concept countermeasure capabilities in a family of systems. The system is designed to detect, intercept, deter, and destroy incoming UAVs, drones, and missile threats. This technological invention involves a new and significantly improved air defense system that addresses the 1980s post-Cold War era critical issues of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), weapons-carrying UAVs and drones, and uses them as delivery systems.

Multi-domain deterrence and defence strategy

The system mainly focuses on multi-domains (air, sea, ground, cyber, and space defense and offense systems that protect against missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and drones carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) and explosives.

The project not only addresses the weapon of WMD-carrying UAVs and drones, but also explores finding solutions that could help to build a 21st-century credible deterrence and defense strategies, as well as a system that aims to deter and defend against the possibility of modern nuclear and other WMD conflicts.
