Finding solutions to address the gaps and challenges faced in the proposed Golden Dome interceptors and the existing Iron Dome interceptors
A new technological invention, the "Air-based air defense system," is also designed to address the critical gaps and challenges in the proposed space-based “Golden Dome” interceptor systems and the existing ground-based “Iron Dome” systems. The key objective of the invention is to create a protective defense shield platform comprising a large family of massive UAVs and drone-interceptors, to defend against missiles, nuclear weapons, and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats.
On February 24, 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine fundamentally changed the world and the future of warfare strategies forever
On February 24, 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine became one of the deadliest conflicts in Europe since World War II. This war not only became the bloodiest but also fundamentally changed the world, transforming traditional warfare strategies into the third revolution in modern warfare. This transformation of warfare also brought back the 1980s post-Cold War era, issues of nuclear and other WMD unmanned aerial vehicles weapons, and their delivery strategies, to 21st-century modern warfare, and for the next 75 years or forever. (Ref., and Credit: 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).
In the 1980s, during the post-Cold War era, seven industrialized nations, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada raised significant security concerns and issues in regards to the UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons, and their delivery systems. (Ref:The US Air Force Airpower Study, page 2)
The Air Force Air Power studies further revealed that, "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.” (Ref: and Credit:The US Air Force Air Power study: page 42)
"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. The US 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).
The United States of America Executive Order 14 November 1994 - Weapons of Mass Destruction and delivery systems
14 November 1994 the United States of America, Excecutive Order: " I, William J. Clinton,President of the United States of America, find that 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.(Ref: and Credi: The US Air Force Air power study page, Chapter 3, page 13)
The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as the Star Wars
In the 1980s, the US president Ronald Reagan proposed a missile defense system, also known as the Star Wars program, specifically to develop a space-based shield against the Soviet Union's nuclear missile attacks. This multi-layered program proposed advanced technologies, such as lasers and particle beams, but faced significant hurdles due to the lack of technological advancement at the time, including high costs and controversy over the potential escalation of an arms race.
During World War I and World War II, the first and second revolutions in warfare, a combination of technological innovations with intellectual property rights, considerably influenced the military power of the US and NATO allies. These inventions also largely altered the nature of warfare, including the development of new weaponry, technological advancements, modernization of warfare strategies, economic advances, and bilateral and multilateral agreements that have remained in effect for many decades.
Some of these technological advancements include the development of gunpowder, machine guns, tanks, aircraft, trench and chemical warfare during World War I, "The Evolution of World War I Aircraft" (Ref and credit: National Air and Space Museum, USA), and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, as well as the evolving nature of nuclear strategies during World War II, including the advancement of atomic bomb, computers and other civil advancements.

AUVSI 2013 Washington, D.C., USA
For the past 16 years (since 2009), we have been researching, designing, and inventing autonomous “technological inventions” of an "Air-based air defense system" known as the "EQQUERA Mother Hen and Parasite Chicks" Air-based air defense system (EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD System) for the next generation Artificial Intelligence autonomous electronic warfare.
The "EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD" system is a new and improved air-based warfare platform designed to address the long-overdue issues of the 1980s post-Cold War era, a major security concern of old Soviet Union era issues of 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.
Artificial Intelligence Platform:
What is the "third revolution in warfare"?
The third revolution in warfare is an advancement of fully autonomous weapons systems and warfighting techniques that engage, communicate, and operate with little or no human intervention. This warfare strategy involves unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drone technologies integrated with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine learning capabilities, enabling the system to operate independently.
In 1997, the US Air Force studies (Ref., Credit: "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?" - JEFFREY N. RENEHAN, Major, US Air Force School of Advanced Airpower Studies) revealed that "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." (US Air Force Studies -Abstract page - v).
The Air Force studies also stated 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 studies page 33). Further stated: "The bottom line is that 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."(Chapter 6 conclusion).
Soon after the post-Cold War era was over, the issue of UAVs and drones carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems was not the highest priority in the military for decades, nor given much attention until February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine with UAVs and drones, initiating the first new drone warfare. However, many military experts have conducted numerous studies on these concerns and issues for many decades, including discussions among high-level government officials, agencies, and military leaders without specific solutions.
In April 2023, Dr. Caitlin Lee, who leads the Center for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Autonomy Studies at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies in Arlington, Virginia, told Scientific American; “This is the first time we’re seeing drone-on-drone conflict.” (Ref., Credit: Legion Canada's Military History Magazine)
The Eqquera “Air-based air defense system” is a family of systems that comprises a Mother UAV (Mother hen) carrying a fleet of sub-UAVs (chicks), each sub-UAV carrying several mini-UAVs (Grand chicks), which launch and recover in midair. These sub-UAVs and mini-UAVs (drones) are designed with a system that surrounds the Mother UAV, communicates among themselves (as a one big family), and communicates with existing manned, unmanned, space, and ground systems. Further, include a system that enables fully interoperable communications and operational platforms that can blanket a large area of the sky for full-scale combat operations, including ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) missions, to protect against adversaries, non-state actors, and enemy missiles and drone attacks.
Soon after the post-Cold War era was over, the issue of UAVs and drones carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems was not the highest priority in the military for decades, nor given much attention until February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine with UAVs and drones, initiating the first new drone-on-drone warfare. However, many military experts have conducted numerous studies on these concerns for several decades, including discussions among high-level government officials, agencies, and military leaders.
The invention is also designed with communications and integrated battle management connectivity with the military and civil manned and unmanned platforms. This includes integration with the "Iron Dome interceptors" (Ref: Rand Corp.) and the proposed "Golden Dome interceptors" (Ref: Golden Dome Could Learn from SDI Politics -Rand Corp. Credit: William Courtney), as well as integration across all domains, the air, sea, land, space, and cyberspace. The key objective of integration is to build air superiority and information superiority over adversaries, enemies, and non-state actors. Particularly, to intercept and defeat threats that the existing "Iron Dome" and the proposed "Golden Dome" systems cannot defend against.
On September 23, 2025, the US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, announced (Ref: The US Army) that he had directed Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to formally establish "a joint, interagency task force to counter hostile unmanned aerial systems, commonly referred to as drones".
Further stated "Drone dominance will do two things: Drive costs down and capabilities up. We will deliver tens of thousands of small drones to our force in 2026, and hundreds of thousands of them by 2027. I will soon be meeting with the military services to discuss transformational changes in warfighting doctrine. We need to outfit our combat units with unmanned systems at scale," Hegseth asserted.
In September 2025, European Union leaders met to discuss the urgent need for the multi-layered "drone wall" defence system. Moreover, NATO and the European Union expressed their full support for this proposed system, following Russian airspace violations over Denmark, Poland, and Estonia. "A ‘Drone Wall’ is needed for Europe to defend against a new threat" (Ref., credit: The Chatham House, by Tim Chattell).
The global superpowers—the US, Russia, and China admit that 21st-century warfare differs significantly from traditional warfare. They also acknowledge that whoever develops a drone-on-drones swarm warfare strategy combined with artificial intelligence (AI) will play a significant role in the next generation of warfare and dominate the world.
This "technological invention" is already protected by international intellectual property rights and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) patent rules, which provide protection for the "system" against global power competition.
International patent rights are a crucial means of protecting technological inventions on a global scale. The European Patent Office granted patent rights for technological invention based on an International Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). We also validated the patent in other contracting states. A second PCT application has also been filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), incorporating new improvements to the original patent. (Note: the sensitive, secret, and vital characteristics of the invention, including technological features, are not publicly available, neither in the patent disclosure nor on the website.)
The US Department of War (DOW), previously known as the Department of Defense (DoD), the "Weapons Systems," and the Canadian Aerospace Warfare Centers both evaluated the invention during the early stages in 2018 and 2017, and it was well-received. We are now entering a new phase, with a significantly improved system-of-systems architecture warfare strategy platforms that is critically needed for today's national and global security, as well as for future military readiness for the "third revolution in warfare" of 2030 and beyond.
Note: The disclosed information in patent applications and on our website is limited in scope. These limitations are forced mainly due to the secrecy and sensitive nature of the invention.
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).)
