The new air defense bases the network-based solutions
Systems like Rheinmetall Skynex are things what is the new network-based air and area defense systems, what integrates the weapons and other systems like aircraft in the intelligent entirety, what can share the target data between the actors without borders. So that kind of system uses multiple systems like programmable intelligent ammunition and sophisticated artificial intelligence-boosted ECM-systems, which can operate against drone swarms and cut the GPS for the smart bombs and other precisely-guided weapons.
The fact is that the speed of the reaction is in a key role in the modern highly effective anti-aircraft systems. The GPS jamming is not enough for stopping the high-precision bombing attack because some smart bombs are equipped with image detectors and an inertial navigation system.
The DSMAC (Digital Scene-Matching Area Correlation) system in aircraft will determine the location of the aircraft when it drops the weapon. The navigation system tells the pilot what is the optimal point to launch the weapon. And then bombs or missile's internal navigation system tells the munition how to fly to the target. In this case, the system uses the maps, which are created by using Lacrosse radar satellites.
But as somebody says the combat is a race between protective and offensive systems. The quadcopters with ECM-systems can deny the radar satellite to make the map of some area. Or those systems must turn to use lidars, which makes them easier to detect. And then the ASAT (Anti Satellite)-weapon can aim at those satellites.
The quadcopters can also benefit in the anti-aircraft role. Those small aerial vehicles can cover large areas, and they can rise above the roofs of buildings. Quadcopters can observe the sky by using visual and infrared systems, which can detect stealth fighters or helicopters. And they might also try to predict the route of hypersonic missiles. Then they are trying to make the weapon impact them.
They can equip with sub-machine guns or even missiles, and the large group of those drones can aim their machine guns upwards when the incoming aircraft is seen. The quadcopters can rise to the route of the incoming aircraft and try to fly inside the air intakes of its jet engines. Or those drones can shoot down the aircraft, that is flying over those that swarm. And the same systems can use against the ground troops.
