We are the first to invent and patent unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and counter-drone warfare platforms that comprise “THEBEES,” a warfighting system that can contribute to 21st-century artificial intelligence (AI)- driven electronic warfare. These platforms are designed as a close-range air defense system-of-systems architecture operational platform that can shield against threats from close-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, UAVs, and drones.

The United States, NATO, and the EU are urgently seeking a close-range air defense system that can integrate with a space-based and ground-based architecture to shield against close-range missile, UAV, and drone threats. This urgency focuses specifically on identifying technological solutions to address significant existing gaps in modern era warfare - critical for 21st-century electronic warfare, including systems that can contribute to modern deterrence and extended deterrence to deter attacks on the US, NATO, and all their allies.

Deterrence and extended deterrence are traditionally developed at the state level and involve military alliances. However, individual and private-sector participation and contributions in deterrence innovations to states for implementation are not new - they have a long history - with the work of scientists, independent scholars, individuals in academia, and private research, including political and innovative thinkers.

The US and NATO are increasingly pursuing a private-public partnership for military preparedness and for deterrence and defense

The US , NATO, and the EU are increasingly pursuing public-private partnerships to support future military preparedness, readiness, and deterrence. These partnerships involve contributions from the private sector and their innovations that could help address complex future challenges. More importantly, their findings directly contribute to enhancing the military framework, strengthening national security, and protecting against the most dangerous and complex global threats, including nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) challenges and threats.

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).

Lt. Gen. Stacey Hawkins, commander of the US Air Force, said, "Highly efficient public-private partnerships will be a key ingredient in providing successful sustainment outcomes and deterring adversaries in the future."

Who We Are

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" UAV and drone-on-drone warfare platform. This platform is designed specifically to enhance US and NATO airpower capabilities - moreover, to contribute to their integrated deterrence and extended deterrence strategies for future complex artificial intelligence (AI) electronic warfare.

Technological Invention for close-range air defenses

The "Technological invention" is a new and improved multi-layer Air-based air defense system - the fourth-layer interceptors designed to detect, suppress, and destroy close-range threats. Particularly, threats posed by close-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, UAVs, and drones. Also, threats that are unable to be eliminated - and threats that penetrate through the proposed space-based Golden Dome interceptors (previously known as the Strategic Defense Initiative - SDI, also referred to as "Star Wars”), as well as threats that escape from ground-based systems such as Iron Dome and other similar interceptors.

The “Technological invention” is invented and designed specifically focusing on finding solutions to the 1980s, the post-Cold War era, the Soviet Union's threats, and the G7 industrialized nations' concerns about UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other WMD, and their delivery systems. According to the 1997 Air Force air power studies, none of the nations has given much attention to this issue since the Cold War era.

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 integrated into manned and unmanned and space platforms to perform complex military operations and missions in close-range defenses.

The family of systems air-based air defense platform is designed specifically to enhance next-generation air dominance and information superiority. More particularly, to develop a large family of UAV systems, the mother unmanned 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-driven systems together, to fly the mother UAV, sub-UAVs, and Mini-UAVs, as a family of unmanned systems for a range of multiple missions.

Integration and connectivities

The technological invention of the air-based air defense system also comprises AI-powered systems to detect and counter the proliferation of UAV and drone weapons threats, providing capabilities to deter and defeat WMD payload drone and missile attacks.

The key focus of the invention

The key focus of our mission is to find credible solutions to long-overdue issues of the 1980s post-Cold War era, security concerns of the capabilities and characteristics of UAVs and drones carrying nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD), chemical, biological, and radiological (CBRN) weapons, and the use of UAVs and drones that deliver them.

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?").

In 1997, the US Air Force (USAF) Air Power Study stated: "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: The US Air Force Air Power study: page 42).

Further stated: "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. (Ref: Abstract page v), It also indicates that WMD delivery systems often receive less attention than do the weapons themselves."

On Feb. 24 2022, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and extended dettereance

On Feb. 24 2022, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine became the largest and deadliest war in Europe since World War II. This war not only became the deadliest but also brought back the 1980s post-Cold War-era concerns about UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction threats into future warfare.

Moreover, this transformation of warfare also instantly changes the global security landscape and the effectiveness of the US modern nuclear umbrella, integrating artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, autonomous, electronic, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and drone-on-drone warfare,  including modern deterrence strategies for the next generation in warfare.

This post-Cold War era projection of transformation of warfare strategies has already been proven by ongoing UAVs and drones war fighting between Russia and Ukraine, and the escalation of major conflicts in the Middle East.

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).

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.
