In the current world order marked by geopolitical conflicts and tensions between nations, proliferation of small drones poses serious challenges for national security. While drone technology progress has been rapid, mitigating rogue drone threats still remains a work in progress for militaries and law enforcement. There have been reported incidents of enemy drones striking nearby bases in ongoing border conflicts. At the same time, terrorist groups are also known to use off-the-shelf drones for surveillance and attacks. The threat landscape is continuously evolving as drone payloads expand to include explosives, chemical, and biological weapons. Furthermore, adversarial nations like North Korea and Iran have boosted their drone arsenal significantly. This has many countries significantly ramping up counter-drone defenses around sensitive military installations, energy infrastructure, borders, and urban centers. Rising geo-political tensions are a major driver as governments spend more on airspace security and related anti-drone technologies like radio-frequency jammers, detector sensors, and interception systems.

For instance, in August 2021, Meteksan Defense introduced an upgraded version of its Kapan counter-drone system at IDEF 2021. This system features the latest Retinar FAR-AD radar for drone detection, along with enhancements to detect vehicles, supported by advanced computer systems and AI algorithms.
