Modernising Defence with Australian Counterdrone Innovation

Modernising Defence with Australian Counterdrone Innovation

As modern warfare evolves, affordable commercial drones are increasingly being weaponised to deliver devastating payloads. Even top-end armoured platforms, such as self-propelled howitzers or reconnaissance vehicles, can be vulnerable to small, highly manoeuvrable unmanned aerial systems. While larger munitions offer limited protection against these aerial threats, Australian defence planners need to look at integrating proven C-UAS capabilities into the land Order of Battle.

The Rising Importance of Electronic Warfare

In asymmetric conflicts such as Azerbaijan-Armenia, adversaries equipped with basic commercial drones have destroyed high-value assets by avoiding conventional countermeasures. Simply relying on manual gunners or proximity rounds is insufficient against such rapidly evolving threats. Effective drone defence lies in electronic warfare, leveraging detection and soft-kill capabilities to suppress drone control links before they reach a critical range. Australian companies are already delivering these capabilities abroad, providing world-leading counterdrone defence that integrates seamlessly into existing platforms.

Leveraging Australian Counterdrone Protection

The Australian Industry Capability program seeks to boost home-grown innovation, and Australian companies offer compact, tailored solutions that excel in counterdrone protection across diverse scenarios — from protecting critical infrastructure such as C-UAS airports and antidrone airports, to safeguarding public spaces like counterdrone stadiums and C-UAS prisons. These systems incorporate AI-driven sensor fusion and RF disruption to identify, classify and defeat drone threats long before they enter a vulnerable platform’s airspace.

By investing in these sovereign technologies — whether for army armoured assets, or fixed sites like airports — Australian Defence can bolster its drone defence strategy. It would also enable local industry to grow, innovate and respond rapidly as threats evolve. Given that commercial drones can be repurposed for serious attacks, this level of proactive, Australian-designed C-UAS AI is becoming not just preferable, but essential for protecting national security and ensuring that the nation’s investments in armoured capability remain safeguarded against airborne threats.

Weaponised Drones: The Evolving Threat and the Role of Counter-UAS Technology

Weaponised Drones: The Evolving Threat and the Role of Counter-UAS Technology

The rapid commercialisation of drone technology has made these once-rare devices both affordable and accessible. As of 2024, the global drone market is valued at nearly US$30 billion and is expected to exceed US$220 billion by 2034. While these advances bring clear civilian benefits, they also introduce a significant security risk when drones fall into the wrong hands.

Today, drones are regularly used by non-state actors, terrorist groups, and fringe organisations. From simple surveillance tasks to more complex attacks, the weaponisation of drones is a growing concern for governments worldwide. This reality has placed counterdrone and counterdrone defence technologies at the forefront of modern security planning.

Militant groups now deploy drones for battlefield reconnaissance, swarm attacks, bomb delivery, and sabotage of critical infrastructure. There have even been reports of drones being used to scout locations for political assassinations. With threats spanning from military installations to C-UAS airports, C-UAS prisons, and public events like counterdrone stadiums, the need for versatile protection is urgent.

Traditional responses, such as small arms fire, are increasingly ineffective against fast-moving, agile drones. Instead, governments are turning to advanced C-UAS technologies—especially soft-kill capabilities like radio frequency (RF) jamming. RF-based defences allow for drone detection and neutralisation without physical impact, making them ideal for sensitive environments such as antidrone airports or densely populated urban areas.

Solutions like DroneShield’s DroneSentry-X, DroneGun Mk4, and DroneSentry-C2 Tactical platform integrate C-UAS AI and machine learning to deliver comprehensive drone defence. These systems offer real-time situational awareness, automated response capabilities, and interoperability with existing infrastructure—supporting both military-grade and civilian counterdrone protection.

In an era where drones are increasingly used in asymmetric warfare and hostile surveillance, DroneShield’s mission is clear: to stay ahead of emerging threats with scalable, intelligent, and effective electronic warfare and C-UAS solutions.

Chapter six: Classes and Starting War

Warning: lots and lots of cussing.....

———

These chapters are going to be stupid and short. Enjoy reading!

———

"So how was your first day of school?" Aizawa asks while driving home. "It was fine. Present Mic is definitely something," I say whispering the last part. Aizawa quietly snorts and shakes his head, "You're not wrong. He is something." "Yeah, and I'm not sure if it's a good or bad something," I say and he actually laughs out loud.

It was a short laugh but it was a laugh nonetheless. I look over at him and chuckle quietly to myself.

"I met a guy that is in your class," I start and he glances over at me and asks, "How do you know if he's in my class?" "Well, for one he acts like he's the best even though he's a first year. Also he's extremely angry for no reason and calls everyone extra so..." "Yup, he's in my class," Aizawa says right after I finish my sentence.

"I was looking for my class, I wasn't paying attention when he bumped into me. I almost fell over because of the force, but someone caught me. Anyway, he just said, "move it extra", and walked away." I stop myself from telling him about Haru and that he's not that bad looking. Aizawa looks over at me with a look in his eyes.

Shit... He can tell that I'm keeping something from him.

He turns his eyes back on the road and doesn't say a word.

Oh, ok, so he's going to leave it alone.

—

It's been a couple of days and it's almost the end of the week. Class 1-A had their class with All Might and I believe it's the day when you get to see a glimpse of Shigaraki because I saw the reporters at the entrance of U.A.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Haru asks me. I look to the left of me and see him with his elbow propped up on the desk and his chin resting in his hand. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask, looking at him weirdly.

Why does he look at me like I'm fascinating or something? It's quite annoying.

"There you go again," Haru laughs, "You make faces when you think about things." I roll my eyes and notice everyone leaving. "Let's go Gingy," I tease, "I'm starving." "You're always starving," he says and I glare at him, "Well, don't call me Gingy." I shake my head laughing while walking next to him, "I'm still going to call you that."

We take our time walking to the lunchroom. As soon as we walk through the door, people run towards us and through the door. They push past us, knocking us over. Haru catches his balance but I fall backwards.

Why am I always falling over? Oh, I know why. It's because I have shit balance and horrible ankles that try to roll all the time.

Instead of feeling wrapped around my waist, I feel the side of my body and head slamming against the floor. Instead of stopping, they keep going. I hear Haru's voice, "Sasaki! Sasaki! Where are you?! Are you ok?!" I can't respond. I'm getting pushed over again and again. Shit, what do I do?

A hand grabs my arm and pulls me up. I come face to face with the last person that I would've expected to help me.

"You're in my way, extra," Bakugou says, letting go as soon as I'm stable. "Thanks," I say as he walks away. He doesn't look back, not even for a second.

"Sasaki?!" I hear Haru yell again and again. I try to go to where I hear him but can't. Suddenly, everyone stops when they hear a loud voice. Looking up, I see Tenya Iida up in the air getting our attention.

Now's my chance.

I continue to walk through the crowd until I see a tall person with red hair. Eventually I see him and yell, "Haru!" He turns around and pushes people out of the way. "Are you ok? Where were you?" He asks with hands on my shoulders.

I wince at him touching my right shoulder. He doesn't notice because he's too busy looking at the side of my face. He frowns and touches my face, "You're bleeding." "Uh, yeah, and you're also hurting my shoulder that I landed on when I fell." I say and he quickly lets go of my shoulder. I still feel his hand on my face and I giggle, "You can let go of my face, it's not going to fall apart."

"Sorry, I just... um..." Haru starts but I interrupt, "You're just worried. I'm fine, I got helped up actually." He only nods as I look up to see Iida coming down from the ceiling. "Let's get something to eat. I'm absolutely starving," I say, turning around.

I look back when I feel a hand around my wrist. "You again?" Haru says glaring at the person who is keeping me from walking. "Go to the nurse. Your face looks like hell and I can tell your shoulder hurts by the way you are holding it," Bakugou says. "I'm fine," I smile, "It's just a few bruises and scratches. They will go away eventually." Bakugou lets go of my wrist while I continue to smile at him. I walk away before he gets a chance to say anything.

I hear someone walking behind me and stops when I stop at the line to get lunch. "Hey, are you sure you don't want to go to the nurse?" Haru says breathing heavily trying to catch his breath. I grab what I want and walk away, "If my shoulder feels worse then I'll go check it out" Haru quickly grabs his food and walks up to my side, "Ok... Where do you want to sit?" "There's a table by the window there," I say pointing to the left.

Haru and I walk over to the table and the second we set down our trays, I hear a voice call my name.

What the FUCK?! All I want to do is to eat my lunch!

"Get your food, we're going to the nurse," the person said.

Shit...

I pick up my tray and turn around, "Aizawa, I'm fine." "I don't care. Let's go... NOW," Aizawa says, giving me glare.

Haru looks back and forth between Aizawa and I. He looks incredibly confused and slightly terrified when Aizawa glances at him for a couple of seconds analyzing him. "Will you stop glaring at me and my friend if I go?" I say, sighing. Aizawa sighs and nods.

I think I've been around him too long. I sound just like him.

We walk next to each other to the nurse and I still have the tray. I look over at Aizawa and see that he isn't glaring anymore, "Why were you glaring at us? I only fell down and got a little hurt. That's all."

"Because I had an angry student barge into my classroom while I was trying to eat, complaining about someone he pushed over yesterday getting pushed over again. Also, that said student complained that the person got hurt and refused to go to the nurse," Aizawa says angrily.

I look down when he opens the door to the nurses office. I stayed quiet the whole time Recovery Girl helped me. By the time she got done, my food got cold.

"I have to go," Aizawa says getting up. "I have to do a rescue activity with my class so I'll have to leave the building," he says, digging into his pocket. "Here," he hands me his car keys, "I'll find a way home so take these." Aizawa sighs as I keep on looking down and puts a hand on my shoulder, "I'm sorry I got angry at you. I was just worried."

I look up at him, "Be careful."

"Whatever happens, be on guard and be careful...please." I say and he looks at me weirdly.

I'm sorry.... I can't say anything else.

Aizawa left and I got up, walking out of the room and dumping my food into the trash can. I go to the rest of my classes and right when the bell rings for dismissal, I go to Aizawa's car. The second I get in the car and shut the door, I start feeling tears going down my face and start hitting the wheel.

Damnit, damnit, damnit! What the fuck do I do?! I can't just go to the USJ and be all like, 'ummm, yeah, can you not villians. I actually care for this hobo and he's my guardian, so I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't smash his pretty face.' Yeeaah, I don't think it would go very well.

After my little temper tantrum, I go to the apartment and crash on my bed.

"Tsuna! Open the door!" Tsukauchi pounds on the door. "Ok, ok, damn! What do you WANT?" I get off my bed and rub the sleep from my eyes. I then open the door to Aizawa's apartment.

"It's Aizawa... come quickly," Tsukauchi says panting from running up the stairs and hitting the door a bunch of times. "I know," I say, putting on my shoes fast and shutting the door behind me. Tsukauchi starts to walk away but stops, "What? How?" "I already told you how," I say walking past him and down the stairs. "Oh, you did."

I can't stop pulling at my shirt throughout the whole car ride to the hospital.

"I tried to warn him," I suddenly say and Tsukauchi turns his head over to me fast. "WHAT?!" He yells and the car swerves almost hitting the car next to us. He turns his attention back to the road and fixes "I only told him to be on guard and be careful! That's it!" I yell back and gripping the side of the door out of fear of almost getting in a car crash. "I didn't tell him anything else because I don't want to mess up anything else," I say letting go of the door, "I already messed up a lot."

Tsukauchi takes a deep breath in and releases it out, "I think it's time." "Time for what?" I ask and he takes a moment to answer. "To tell Aizawa."

“why are you so afraid of being honest with me?” izuku @ kacchan <3333

"I ain't afraid," he instantly points out, upper lip curling into half snarl. Clenching his hand into a fist, he draws back to put space between them. Shoving his fist into his pocket, he leans back against his desk. Cool down he reminds himself, remembering the fact that the nerd ain't trying to imply shit.

Once he's down from that spark of anger, he takes a steadying breath. Studying Izuku for a quiet moment, he finds himself asking.

"You sayin' you honest with me all the time Deku?" As soon as that question leaves his mouth, he frowns as a thought strikes him. Being honest with Deku always leaves him feeling like's been chewed up and spit out. He's left trying to figure out what's up and down, left and right. Everything with Deku is more complicated, more layered, more everything. Compared to someone like Kirishima, shit is far more straightforward. Direct and steadying. That's his friend, one of his best friends. The lines are clear.

With Deku it's so blurred and mixed up. He knows so much about him, actually it's more than that. He's always been a part of his life, even during his shittier moments. The nerd stayed, keeps choosing to stay. That's a part of him he can't comprehend. How he keeps choosing to stay, keeps choosing to stand by him. For how much longer? He ignores that too honest thought.

Some days they feel alright, others it's like their clear path been blown to bits. He doesn't know what to make of it. Yet he don't wanna say any of that to him. Not when he doesn't understand much of it. Or maybe he does but he can't face his own truths yet. It pisses him off, but he's aware there's just some crap you have to come to terms on your own.

"...we're a lot," he mutters, settling for that.
