AI-Powered Counter-UAS: Transforming Drone Defense Strategie

AI-Powered Counter-UAS:
Transforming Drone Defense Strategies

October 07, 2025

The Challenge

  • Drones and AI are advancing quickly, creating new risks for military and homeland security teams.
  • Staying ahead requires faster, smarter ways to spot and stop threats.

Executive Perspective

Lockheed Martin Vice President Paul Lemmo highlights three essentials for countering today's drone threats:

  1. Smarter AI tools that help operators detect and decide in real time
  2. Flexible, open systems that connect across missions and technologies
  3. Layered defenses like Sanctum™ that adapt to protect people and critical assets

Why It Matters

  • Proven systems show what works in real-world missions. Lessons from air and missile defense technology like the Aegis Combat System give operators confidence that new solutions aren't just theory-they're built on technologies that have already protected lives and missions.
  • AI-driven defenses close today's capability gaps. Forces gain faster detection, smarter recommendations, and reliable responses against drone threats that are growing more complex by the day.
