| Summary |
For years, air defense has been the domain of specialized units and niche capabilities under conditions of air superiority. That era is no more, and the entire joint force must now look up. Small uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS) pose a significant threat, exhibiting multi-mission capabilities, minimal signatures, wide proliferation, low costs, and ground force utility. This report examines the sUAS threat, the various kinetic and non-kinetic defenses available to defeat them, and how the U.S. Department of Defense has approached the counter-sUAS mission over the past decade. It evaluates the Defense Department’s efforts across the DOTMLPF—doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities |
