Abstract

Investigating the nature of UAS threats, the results of recent wars in the West Asian region, the increasing development of military technologies, especially the characteristics of future air threats, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the need for scientific attention And accurate to the category of air defense has made it inevitable. In the meantime, dealing with unmanned aircraft systems in times of war and peace, which endanger national and military security, public safety, and people's privacy, is of particular importance. Air defense has three dimensions: detection systems, integrated command and control network, and weapon systems that play the main role in air defense operations. The purpose of the research is to explain the factors affecting the detection and countering of drone systems in future battles. The research is of an applied-developmental type and its approach is prospective and the case-contextual method is used. In this research, the threats of unmanned aircraft are studied first, and then the most important components and indicators of detection systems are explained. To enrich the research, a number of experts in the field of air defense were interviewed. Finally, by identifying the components and indicators affecting the discovery of the air defense model, suggestions were made to deal with drones.
