In February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine changed the world and entered a new era of warfare for the next 75 years (2099), bringing a mindset of the 1980s Soviet Union Cold War era nuclear strategy to the next generation of warfare. This Cold War era strategy is directly related to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones carrying Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and capable of being used together as effective weapon delivery systems.
We are a Canadian company, for the past 15 years (since 2009), we have been researching, designing, and inventing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) Airborne Air Defense System (AADS) comprised of a swarm of drone-on-drones warfighting techniques, known as the "THE-BEE" system, for future military readiness, 2030 and beyond. The Airborne air defense system concept involves a family of UAVs and drones capable of communicating with each other (Artificial Intelligence). Also, it would be able to detect, track, intercept, jamming, and destroy enemy targets in all domains: air, sea, ground, cyber, and space, and at all altitudes high, mid, and low.
The invention is designed mainly focusing on the 1980s Cold War era, the United States and the Soviet Union nuclear tensions (Credit: United States Department of State), and the issues and concerns of unmanned aerial vehicles and drones capable of carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and married together for the use as delivery systems identified in 1980s by seven industrialized nations the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom (U.K.).
Patent Rights: On December 12, 2019, we obtained the European Patent and validated patent rights in 17 NATO Allies countries. We further filed an improvement to the patent by enhancing systems and mission capabilities. We also obtained utility model protection and expanded with the second PCT application for further global protection. More improvements to the invention are still in the design stage.
Warfare Centers' Assessments: The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Weapons Systems and the Canadian Aerospace Warfare Center evaluated the invention during the early stages in 2017 and 2018, respectively, both countries recognized the concept. The Warfare Center stated that the concept has merit also consistent with broader thinking on future employment of unmanned systems.
Confidentiality and Degree of Secrecy of the Invention: Due to the global and national security environment, the ongoing global competition for new warfare strategies, and the complexity of CBRN issues, all are highly considered secret and sensitive materials. Therefore, past, present, and future communications, information, research and developments, technologies, and designs are not publicly available except those already disclosed in the patent disclosures and on our website.
In February 2022, the Russia—Ukraine war changed the world and entirely transformed traditional warfare strategies into modern UAVs and drone warfare strategies for the next 75 years. These changes have been demonstrated and proven by ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and other Middle East regional conflicts.
In addition,this transformation of warfare strategy also brought the 1950s "Artificial Intelligence" approach into new warfighting techniques, including the Cold War era nuclear rhetoric and nuclear challenges of UAVs and drones carrying WMD (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons and delivery systems into modern-day warfare. This transformation of warfare strategy also created new 21st-century deterrence and accelerated a new global arms race among superpowers.
In 2022, the U.S. and NATO were concerned about the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia. Specifically, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones are weaponized with Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) weapons that could cause mass destruction. In addition to previous threats, in September 2024, the Russian President said "he would consider using nuclear weapons upon receiving reliable information about the massive launch of aerospace attack vehicles and their crossing of our state border" (BBC News Reported).
Given the strategic environment, the U.S., UK, Germany, France, Canada, and all other NATO allies and partners immediately placed their nations on a complete military mobilization and preparation plan. This preparation has been the largest military adaptation since the end of the Cold War in the 1980s (NATO News).
After 75 years since World War II, which ended with two nuclear bombs, once again now, the world is heading for the possibility of another nuclear war in 2027-2035 (RadioFree Europe Reported), which will reach a breaking point during the summer of 2025 on "Day X." The U.S. and NATO warn that Russia's ongoing nuclear threats are dangerous and that any such action will lead the world closer to a global nuclear catastrophe and World War III (NATO News reported).
NATO also warns that the West and all NATO allies and partners should immediately step up for large-scale war preparations, including military and full national mobilization , which includes civil mobilization, civil preparedness, and effective emergency response plans (NATO News). NATO's resilience and civil preparedness are crucial to the nation's deterrence and defence stratergy.
NATO wants Canada and allies to gear up for a conventional war. Canda said "The next big war, it'll be a series. It will be a big regional war, or a series of regional wars, that Canada will be drawn into as a Western ally". "So we better have our plans in place, including for mobilizing industry."(ici Radio Canada reported). On July 18, 2024, "Chief of Defence Staff says Canada and the U.S. have five years to prepare for new threats from Russia and China." (CBC News reported)
During the Cold War era in the 1980s, the issue of unmanned aerial vehicles or drones capable of carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) to be used together as an effective weapon and the systems that deliver them was a significant security concern among the industrialized nations: the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom (U.K.). However, at the time, no clear solutions were found to mitigate these threats other than strengthening export and arms controls and allowing allies to pursue credible deterrence and defence.
The U.S. and NATO military experts recognized that Russia-Ukraine war transformed the new warfare strategy and further modified the future deterrence and defense, which is the bedrock of global nuclear safety and security. We analyzed the Cold War era tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, and their respective allies conflict in the 1980s, also Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), or "Star Wars," and methods they used to strengthen deterrence based on the "Peace Through Strength" concept.

The global superpowers and NATO allies recognize that achieving 21st-century deterrence and defense involves the next generation of artificial intelligence, a family of UAVs, and a drone warfare strategy. The global superpowers and military experts say, "Whoever comes up with the idea of a drone-on-drone swarm war strategy with artificial intelligence (Policy Paper Defence Artificial Intelligence Strategy—GOV.UK) will dominate the world and will accomplish credible deterrence for the next 75 years to deter and avoid another nuclear war."

We are the first to invent an "Unmanned Airborne Air Defense System" concept comprising a "Flatbed unmanned aerial vehicle" and a fleet of UAVs and drones that can launch and recover in midair.
This air defense system comprises a family of unmanned aerial vehicles and drone warfighting techniques with multi-mission and multi-operational capabilities, including the detection and destruction capabilities of WMD weapons. These capabilities are integrated into a manned and unmanned system-of-systems architecture known as the Airborne Air Defense System (AADS).
We specifically focus on the implications and challenges of 21st-century warfare strategies related to rising concerns about the return of nuclear escalation, 21st-century deterrence, and a new arms race. We analyzed the role of UAVs and drones used as new modern weaponry and weapons delivery systems, including countermeasures of "systems of systems" architecture integrated into manned and unmanned systems that would have capabilities to prevent adversaries' and enemies' actions.
To achieve these objectives, we designed a unique system in which the Mother unmanned aerial vehicle (Mother hen) carries a fleet of Sub-unmanned aerial vehicles (chicks), and the sub-unmanned aerial vehicles carry a fleet of mini-unmanned vehicles (grand chicks) launch and recover in midair, known as the "Mother hen and parasite chicks." The airborne air defense system also comprises Artificial Intelligence (AI) ("drone-on-drones") warfighting techniques, which is known as the "THE-BEE" system.
Tensions and arms race between the United States, NATO allies, and the Soviet Union never died in the Cold War era; the fire was always under the ash. One of the biggest concerns of industrialized nations in the 1980s was the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and the systems that deliver them, which are UAVs and drone delivery systems.
At the time, seven industrialized nations (the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada) recognized that preventing the spread of delivery systems requires an effective system of systems. However, this problem has not been prioritized since the 1980s because the U.S. and NATO allies and military experts never expected Russia to use cheap UAVs and drones to bring down extensive infrastructure and large-scale military assets until February 24, 2022.
Now, the problem has become more complex and dangerous and spread into a global warfighting machine, encountering more severe and far-reaching implications, including the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), nuclear chemical, radiological, and biological (CBRN) weapons, and delivery systems.
Our vision is to provide the U.S. and NATO allies with a new Airborne Air Defense system and warfighting techniques to help them build a competitive 21st-century deterrence and defense strategy and a new arms race to preserve peace, prevent coercion, and deter aggression, mainly to avoid another nuclear war.
To achieve our objectives, we designed and invented an Artificial Intelligence (AI) "Airborne Air Defense System concept," a family of unmanned aerial system platforms known as the "Mother Hen and Parasite Chicks" and drone-on-drone warfighting techniques known as the "THE-BEE" system. These systems are designed to communicate with each other in close coordination and engage in combat and non-combat missions in all domains: air, sea, ground, cyber, and space at all altitudes: high, mid, and low.
This invention would provide a competitive military advantage over adversaries and enemies and help NATO and its allies build a 21st-century deterrence and defense capability and a new arms race to preserve peace, prevent coercion, and deter aggression.
UAVs or Drones Carrying Weapons of Mass Destruction
The U.S. and NATO have already begun re-thinking their major weapons and weapons delivery platforms, many dating back to the Cold War era. Especially in the 1980s, issues about the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMD), chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons (CBRN), and delivery systems.
Civil preparedness is a central pillar of NATO Allies' resilience (NATO News). NATO emphasized that "Countries in western and central Europe, as well as the United States and Canada, face a mounting threat of direct attacks on their homelands." (Credit: Rand Corp). Canada's new defense chief also said, "The military must be ready to face potential threats to Canadian territory within the next five years."
Canada's Defence minister insists that Canada is aggressively preparing to face evolving global nuclear threats, and Canada and its allies must be ready for "all scenarios" when it comes to whether Russia could deploy nuclear weapons amid its "failure" in Ukraine.
Since 2008, we have also invented a system that focuses on strengthening civil preparedness and response plans to support law enforcement and other emergency responders. This preparedness plan includes building joint military operations capabilities to deal with mass casualties and disruptive health crises event of CBRN attacks. The project is known as the "CBRN Triangle Project."
In 2008, we also designed and developed the emergency preparedness and response plan for civil-military preparation, which aims to build greater coordination and communication capabilities among the military, first responders, medical personnel, and civilians if deterrence fails and a CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) incident occurs. The "CBRN Triangle Project" is a distinctive identification and visual communication system. We first introduced this system during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in Canada, and it was well received. Now, the system is used by emergency responders and recognized by government agencies.
Future Forces conference was a well-recognized international event in Prague, Czech Republic. This event was sponsored by the Ministry of Defence Czech Republic Armed Forces, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, civil and military parts of the NATO HQ, the European Defence Agency (EDA), and many other relevant nationals as well as international institutions, organizations, and agencies. The objectives and actual purpose of the conference was to promote and enhance strong partnerships with alliances and partners across the globe.
