EQQUERA Technological Invention of (AI-Driven) Air-Based Air Defense System (Closer-Range Defensive System) Invented and Designed for 21st-Century UAVs and Drone Warfare and Modern Nuclear and Other WMD Deterrence

In 1997, the US Air Force Air Power Study (page 42, line32): The United States may one day face an enemy that has obtained the capability to employ WMD on UAVs in battle. It is prudent to do everything in our power to prevent this from happening.” Also, the United States President's Executive Order 12938 on November 14, 1994, declared a national emergency to address the danger of WMD-carrying UAVs and drone technology. In the 1980s, the post-Cold War era, this critical issue was a major global security concern for G7 industrialized nations, (The United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada).

On February 24, 2022, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine became one of the deadliest conflicts in Europe since World War II. This invasion not only became the bloodiest but also fundamentally changed the world, shifting traditional warfare into the third revolution in modern warfare, and 21st-century deterrence for the next 74 years (2099), or perhaps forever.(The "NATO 2099" project "NATO 2099" project,a graphic novel, explores the future of the Alliance.)

Protecting the United States and its allies from a rapidly evolving UAV/WMD weapons and delivery systems

In 1997, the US Air Force Air Power studies concluded that - "Identifying specific air defense systems, that could protect the United States and its allies from attack by a UAV/WMD weapon system is beyond the scope of this study. However, what is important is that the threat that they pose is real, and the value of developing systems to defend against them should not be overlooked." (Ref: The US Air Force Air Power study page 33, line 41)

The Ukraine drone strikes are a wake-up call for US and global air defenses and a wake-up moment for militaries around the globe

June 03, 2025, “the top US Air Force Gen. David Allvin calls the Ukraine drone strikes a wake-up call for US and global air defense and a wake-up moment for militaries around the globe, both for defensive and offensive posture. Also said, "We need to pay more attention to that . "(Credit: DefenseNews) The general also said, “The future US air defense network must be able to counter small drones. "However, he said he believes the initial phase of Golden Dome development will not include closer-range defensive measures." (Ref; and Credit: Air&Space Forces Magazine)

Mother hen and parasite chicks - Air based air defense system

Mother Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (Mother hen)- Scale Model

AUVSI 2013 Washington, D.C., USA

Our mission began 16 years ago (in 2009), finding solutions to address the critical issues of the 1980s post-Cold War era UAVs and drones carrying weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. Specifically, focus on inventing, designing, and developing a system-of-systems architecture warfare strategies that move beyond traditional warfare platforms. Mainly emphasizing autonomous and AI-driven strategies that can adapt to 21st-century evolving threats to deter and defend against modern nuclear and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) warfare.

The EQQUERA “Air-based air defense system” is a family of systems-of-systems architecture platforms that comprises a Mother UAV (Mother hen) carrying a fleet of sub-UAVs (chicks), each sub-UAV carrying a large number of mini-UAVs (Grand chicks), launch and recover in midair. These sub-UAVs and mini-UAVs (drones) are equipped with a system that enables them to surround the Mother UAV, communicate with each other, and operate as a single family.

The system also comprises integrated communication capabilities with existing manned, unmanned, space, and ground systems and other operational platforms, enabling it to dominate the airspace for full-scale combat and non-combat operation missions, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions that help to build air, land, sea, cyber, and space dominance.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Platform:

The "Technological Invention" is further designed with the AI concept, based on analyzing the 1950s birth of AI capabilities (Ref, credit: US Department of Energy, "The birth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research"), along with the continuous development of machine learning autonomy and improvements in robotic technologies. These improvements clearly demonstrate what future warfare will look like and the strategies needed to overcome the challenges it poses.

The EQQUERA air-based air defense system - the next-generation close-range interceptors

The Technological invention is referred to as the EQQUERA Mother Hen and Parasite Chicks - Air-Based Air Defense System (EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD System). This system is designed as a “third layer of interceptors” that can interconnect, communicate and operate between the 1980s proposed space-based interceptor concept of (Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as the Star Wars), and now referred to as the “Golden Dome,” space-based interceptors, the US missile shield, and the existing ground-based interceptors, such as “Iron Dome”. The EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD system is specifically designed to address the close-range defensive measures, particularly against short-range missiles and high-volume "swarm" attacks.

The "technological invention" is a new and improved air-based warfare platform designed for finding solutions to the long-overdue global security issues of the 1980s post-Cold War era, UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD), chemical, biological, and radiological (CBRN), and UAV and drone systems that deliver them.

Particularly, as a close-range defensive system that intercepts and defeats threats that existing ground-based interceptors and the proposed space-based interceptors, the "Golden Dome," cannot intercept or defend against high-volume or "super-swarms" attacks involving hundreds or thousands of UAVs and drones.

European Drone Wall - Newly Proposed Defence Initiative - drones shield

On January 22, 2026, the European Parliament adopted a resolution, officially treating unmanned systems as central components of modern warfare, known as the European Drone Defense Initiative, the European Drone Wall. (Ref: Eastern Flank Watch and European Drone Wall - European Parliamentary Research Service).

The "drone wall" is an initiative by the European Union and NATO nations to build an integrated network of radars, electronic jammers, and interceptor drones. Nonetheless, the EU “Drone Wall” initiative also requires a close-range air defense system that can be integrated into deterrence strategies and incorporated into the “Drone Wall” system architecture. (Ref: and Credit: In Europe, the Problem Is Deterrence, Not Drones. This issue was very clear during the post-Cold War era among the G7 nations.

The post-Cold War era deterrence back in 21st-century warfare

One of the most dangerous shifts in modern technological transformation of warfare is that Russia has revived the 1980s post-Cold War era G7 industrialized nations, (The United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada) major security concerns of threats of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) carrying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drone capabilities, and their delivery systems into the 21st century, the next generation in warfare. (Ref: In 1997, the United States Air Force Air Power Studies "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?" - JEFFREY N. RENEHAN, Major, USAF).-page 2)

The President of the United States, Executive Order 12938 on November 14, 1994, declared a national emergency to address the danger of WMD-carrying UAVs and drone technology

“—— the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons (“weapons of mass destruction”) and the means of delivering such weapons, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat”. — Presidential Executive Order 14 November 1994.

—— Weapons of mass destruction—nuclear, biological, and chemical—along with the systems that deliver them, pose a major threat to our security and that of our allies and other friendly nations. Thus, a key part of our strategy is to seek to stem the proliferation of such weapons and to develop an effective capability to deal with these threats. President William J. Clinton - A National Security Strategy of Engagement and Enlargement.(Ref: and Credit: The US Air Force Air Power Study Chapter 1 Introduction - page 1).

Civil Preparedness and Response Plan - If Deterrence Fails and a CBRNE Event Occurs

In December 2024, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said it is time to shift to a wartime mindset and prepare for a wartime scenario.

Preparing for a wartime scenario: In the 1980s, during the post-Cold War era, industrialized nations recognized that the future warfare would be significantly more complex and lethal than World Wars I and II. Also, the use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons was highly possible.

Recognizing the dangers of these catastrophic events, we also developed an emergency preparedness and response plan in 2008. This plan focused specifically on building a safe and workable environment for law enforcement, emergency responders, military personnel, and healthcare workers to protect themselves, enabling them to save public lives. The Project is known as the "CBRNE Traigle Project".

The main focus of this "Project" is to build a "joint force" with law enforcement, other emergency responders, medical, and military personnel, and health care workers, to coordinate and work together in the event of a CBRNE catastrophe, to save themselves and save public lives.

We first introduced the "CBRN Triangle Project" to law enforcement personnel during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in Canada. This distinctive identification system is now part of the safety equipment program for first responders and other emergency response personnel.

The project received government agency approvals (WorkSafeBC) following two public hearings. And also, this identification system was subsequently amended into the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Act, which stated, "distinguishing emergency medical assistant or in any other capacity, as well as law enforcement, defined in the Police Act." ( WorkSafeBC 8.24 High visibility apparel Act. Subsection (3) (b) (i, ii, iii) and (c).)
