Deterrence and extended deterrence are traditionally developed at the state level and involve military alliances. However, individual and private-sector participation and contributions in nuclear deterrence innovations 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
The US and NATO are increasingly pursuing a private-public partnership to support future military preparedness and deterrence. These partnerships involve private-sector expertise and innovations that could address future complex challenges, and their findings directly contribute to enhancing the military framework to strengthen national security and protect against the most dangerous, complex, and competitive global threats, including nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction.
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."

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."
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" - architecture platform that can contribute to the US and NATO deterrence and defense strategies.
We specifically focused on critical issues and concerns of UAVs and drone warfare strategies, which have not received much attention since the post-Cold War era. Particularly, in the 1980s, the post-Cold War era, the Soviet Union's threats, and the G7 industrialized nations' concerns of UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other WMD and their delivery systems, including counter-defense systems to address them.
Our 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. Most importantly, threats posed by close-range missiles, UAVs, and drone systems, and those difficult to eliminate with the proposed space-based Golden Dome interceptors (previously known as the Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI), and with ground-based systems such as Iron Dome and other similar interceptors.
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.
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 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).
The technological invention of the air-based air defense system concept also comprises AI-powered systems to detect and counter the proliferation of UAVs and drone weapons threats, providing capabilities to deter and defeat adversaries' drone and missile attacks.
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.
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 )
The United States:
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).
