THE NEW BATTLESPACE: WHY AIR DEFENCE IS EVERYONE’S CONCERN

The nature of aerial threats is changing fast. What was once the domain of high-end military platforms is now accessible to almost anyone – thanks to the proliferation of low-cost, commercially available drones. 

This shift has created a more unpredictable and contested battlespace. From reconnaissance to direct strikes, drones are being used in increasingly creative and disruptive ways. And because they’re cheap and expendable, adversaries can deploy them in large numbers – often overwhelming traditional defences. 

For today’s armed forces, this means air defence is no longer just a strategic concern. Every unit, from logistics to frontline infantry, now operates within a potential threat zone. The question is no longer if drones will be used – but how prepared we are to respond. 

That’s where Counter-UAS (C-UAS) technology comes in. But not all systems are created equal. The most effective solutions are modular, scalable, and built to adapt as threats evolve. 

Want to understand how our modular C-UAS systems are designed to help forces regain control in the aerial domain? Discover the CORTEXA GUARDIAN and CORTEXA COMMAND solutions from our C-UAS range, below.
