ROSOBORONEXPORT, Russia’s state-owned defence exporter, has outlined an “Anti-Drone Dome” concept intended to integrate five types of protection against unmanned aerial threats. The proposed system combines airspace monitoring, weapon-based interception, electronic warfare and physical defensive measures under an automated command-and-control architecture. Rather than relying on one counter-drone technology, the concept seeks to coordinate several complementary capabilities to improve protection against different types of unmanned aircraft. Surveillance systems would help detect and track aerial threats, while weapon systems and electronic warfare tools would provide additional response options. Physical protection measures would form another part of the overall defensive arrangement. A geoinformation system would be integrated into the automated command-and-control structure to support situational awareness and coordination between the different components. The proposal reflects Russia’s interest in multilayered counter-drone defence as unmanned systems become increasingly prominent in modern conflicts. Details concerning the individual technologies, operational performance, system configuration and potential deployment remain unspecified in the supplied information.
