We are the first to have invented and patented an unmanned "Flying Aircraft Carrier" - comprising a family of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a counter-drone warfare system-of-systems architecture, and the “THE-BEES,” highly integrated air-maneuvering warfare systems and platforms for next-generation artificial intelligence autonomous drone warfare. This new and improved technological invention of “Air-based air defense system” is designed mainly to establish a highly integrated air-defense shield against close-range missiles, UAVs, and drone swarm threats across all domains - air, sea, land, space, and cyberspace - specifically to contribute to US and NATO air defenses and deterrence

We are a Canadian company. For the past 16 years (since 2009), we have been researching, designing, inventing, and patenting a new and improved "technological invention" - a close-range "Air-based air defense system" concept that comprises UAVs and drone-on-drones warfare platforms and systems - that can contribute to the United States and NATO for their future military modernization in modern artificial intelligence autonomous electronic warfare.

The technological invention also comprises modern deterrence architecture systems that can contribute to modern and extended deterrence strategies against future complex threats involving WMD, artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous robotic electronic warfare.

Deterrence strategies are mostly developed by governments and their militaries. However, contributions of deterrence strategies from scientists, independent scholars, academics, and private researchers, including political and innovative thinkers, are not uncommon - these contributions and citizen involvement are widely accepted and recognized, and go back to the 19th century.

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and future warfare strategies for the next generation

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 fundamentally changed the world, shifting global geopolitics and ushering in a new era of artificial intelligence (AI) UAVs and drone warfare. This new era of warfare is not exactly new; these were well-known issues and concerns during the post-Cold War era and thereafter among G7 industrialized nations, but did not receive much attention until Russia's full-scale invasion in Ukraine.

The US and NATO high-ranking defense experts and technology leaders recognize that the world is at the beginning of the most significant revolution in military affairs in human history, and that neither military nor political leaders have yet figured out what future warfare will look like amid the evolution of algorithms, robotics, and drone swarm warfare. Specifically, drones and UAVs carrying WMD and the systems used to deliver them.

In late 2025, NATO’s Allied Land Command (LANDCOM) and US Army Europe and Africa (USAEURAF) demonstrated a low-cost counter-Unmanned Aircraft System for Poland and Romania to defend their airspace. Moreover, in September and October 2025, the European Union introduced “Drone Wall” - officially known as the European Drone Defence Initiative (EDDI) to protect the airspace and neutralize and defeat hostile unmanned aerial vehicles along the EU and NATO member states.

Russia and Ukraine Flying Aircraft Carriers the Mothership Tactics

Recently, Russia has been using its medium-sized drones to fly smaller drones packed with explosives into combat, extending their range and creating deadly new problems for Ukrainian forces. Now, Ukraine claims it has taken a major step forward in developing an autonomous “mothership” drone scenario for future warfare.

The complexity and danger of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drone warfare strategies are not new to the global industrialized nations

In the 1980s, during the post-Cold War era, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones carrying nuclear and other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), Chemical, Biological, Radiological (CBRN), and their delivery systems became a significant security concern among seven industrialized nations - the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada. (Ref: In 1997, the United States Air Force Air Power Studies   "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?").

Our Technological innovation and deterrence

It was clear that recent drone warfare has significantly reshaped the military deterrence strategy by shifting traditional deterrence to modern deterrence

Modern AI UAVs and drone warfare require entirely new approaches to deterrence, since modern conflicts are fought across sub-conventional, space, cyber, and artificial intelligence domains. Traditional Cold War-era deterrence relied heavily on nuclear superiority and conventional forces - the Russia-Ukraine war is proving that traditional warfare deterrence is not sufficient to counter rapidly adapting threats.

EQQUERA family of systems of systems architecture - UAVs and drone defenses

The “technological invention” relates to a large family of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and systems-of-systems, a “family of systems” architecture and platforms that are interconnected and integrated with manned, unmanned, and space and ground systems, to conduct a range of complex military operations and missions in close-range defense.

Mother hen and parasite chicks warfare platform and system of drone warfare architecture

The Mother unmanned aerial vehicle is referred to as “Mother UAV or Mother Hen”, which is capable of carrying a large number of sub-unmanned aerial vehicles referred to as “sub-UAV or Chicks”, and the sub-UAV carrying modules of mini-unmanned aerial vehicles, referred to as “mini-UAV or Grand Chicks”, and the systems and mechanisms to launch and recover sub-UAVs and mini UAVs on the mother-UAV in mid-air.

Furthermore, having integrated communication and operational systems, wherein the Mother UAV and the sub-UAVs and mini UAVs communicate with each other using multiple communication and operating platforms, such as satellite, remote, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven systems, together to fly the mother UAV, sub-UAVs, and Mini-UAVs, as one big family.

Enhance next-generation air dominance and information superiority

A family of air-based air defense systems is designed specifically to enhance next-generation air dominance and information superiority. In particular, it aims to contribute to the US and NATO's future modern deterrence to prevent modern nuclear and other WMD disasters with new evolving UAV and drone technologies.

The President of the United States, Executive Order 12938 on November 14, 1994, declared a national emergency to address the danger of WMD and delivery systems, and their continued declaration

“—— 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". (Ref: The US Air Force Air Power Study Chapter 3, page 13)

"—— 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).

Russia and Ukraine's drone strikes, and the Middle East's drone warfare, are a wake-up call for the US and global air defenses

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. "(Ref: 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: Air&Space Force magazine).

The United States, NATO, and the EU are now urgently seeking counter-drone capabilities to address the rapid rise of UAVs and drone warfare

The United States, NATO, and the EU are urgently seeking a close-range air defense system that can integrate with existing systems and platforms to shield against close-range missiles, UAVs, and drone swarm threats.

This urgency often centers on identifying technological solutions to address significant gaps in modern-era warfare that are critical to 21st-century artificial intelligence (AI) - enabled autonomous electronic warfare and multi-systems that can contribute to modern deterrence and extended deterrence to defeat enemy attacks on the US, NATO, and all their allies.

The United States proposed the “Golden Dome” multi-layer missile defense system

In January 2025, United States President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to establish the “Golden Dome” multi-layered missile defense shield to protect the United States from foreign threats. The system is intended to intercept everything from ballistic missiles to drones. The Golden Dome features thousands of satellites and armed interceptors positioned in orbit to shoot down missiles during their initial launch phase or mid-flight. The United States President's executive order 14186 in January 2025.

The "Golden Dome" missile defense system is a proposed multi-layered US missile defense system driven by the US president's executive order in January 2025 - designed to shield North America from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missile and nuclear attacks – intended to detect and destroy before they launch (boost phase) or during flight. The key feature of the system is to combine space-based sensors and ground-based interceptors, interconnected with artificial intelligence (AI), to provide a protection shield from the ground to space.

The “Golden Dome” is an advanced version of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as Star Wars, proposed in the early 1980s during the post-Cold War era by U.S. President Ronald Reagan on March 23, 1983. It aimed to create a space-based shield capable of intercepting and destroying incoming nuclear missiles.

On June 6 2026, US President Donald J. Trump signed the "Unleashing American Drone Dominance" executive order outlining how the United States would up its drone game in both the commercial and military sectors, including how it would deliver massive amounts of inexpensive, American-made, lethal drones to U.S. military units to amplify their combat capabilities…

European New Drone Wall Concept - January 2026

Recognizing the dangers of new UAVs and drone warfare, 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 European Drone Wall concept is a new system initiated by the European Union and NATO member states to build an integrated network of radars, electronic jammers, and interceptors to combat drone swarms.

The Drone Wall Concept involves low-altitude radars, AI-powered identification systems, and drone interceptors.

Experts recognized that the system is not designed for deterrence. “True deterrence requires broader military strength, as discussed in this RAND commentary, rather than just focusing on the drone wall." In Europe, “the Problem Is Deterrence, Not Drones”.  (Ref: Rand Corp.) "The Impossible Wall: Exposing Holes in European Strategy Against a Russian Drone Swarm. (Ref: NATO Association Canada)

It is evident that, most importantly, the EU “Drone Wall” initiative also requires a close-range air defense system that can be integrated into modern deterrence strategies to protect from WMD drone-on-drone and UAV warfare.

Global Superpowers - Arms Race for Swarming AI UAVs and Drones

The global superpowers, the US, Russia, and China, admit that 21st-century modern warfare significantly differs from traditional warfare. They also acknowledge that whoever develops a drone-on-drones swarm warfare strategy combined with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities will play a significant role in the next generation of warfare and dominate the world.

The United States:

Aug. 28, 2025 - the US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth calls for an Anti-Drone Task Force to stop a large-scale missile attack. Secretary Hegseth said via a video message released to the public. "Our job here at the Pentagon — when you think about it — is to prepare for the threats of the future and build a force to match them, and defeat them, and outpace them," - "And there's no doubt that the threats we face today from hostile drones grow by the day," he added. (Ref: The US Department of War - Matthew Olay-DoD news)

On August 28th, 2023, the US Deputy Secretary of Defense, Kathleen Hicks, announced what she called "the Replicator initiative," an effort to modernize the American arsenal by adding fleets of Artificial Intelligence unmanned, relatively cheap weapons and equipment.(Official Discusses Progress on Replicator - The US Department of War).

Russia:

In September 2017, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a televised address - a million Russian school children watched - "Artificial intelligence is the future, not only of Russia, but of all of mankind". Further said;"Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.” The Russian leader predicted that future wars will be fought by drones, and "when one party's drones are destroyed by drones of another, it will have no other choice but to surrender." (Ref-Credit: Axios Media stated )

China:

Now, China is gearing up for a new kind of drone warfare equipped with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) swarm of bees concept to overpower its adversaries and the enemy. China is undergoing the most significant transformation of its nuclear forces in its history. China is developing a robust nuclear triad (land-, sea-, and air-based capabilities). Given the new strategic environment, an electronic warfare strategy with new weapons-delivery capabilities has brought a new face to the arms race and a new dimension to deterrence.
