DRONE DELIVERY OF CBNRECy – DEW WEAPONS Emerging Threats of Mini-Weapons of Mass Destruction and Disruption (WMDD)

Drone Delivery of CBNRECy – DEW Weapons: Emerging Threats of Mini-Weapons of Mass Destruction and Disruption (WMDD) is our sixth textbook in a series covering the world of UASs and UUVs. Our textbook takes on a whole new purview for UAS / CUAS/ UUV (drones) – how they can be used to deploy Weapons of Mass Destruction and Deception against CBRNE and civilian targets of opportunity. We are concerned with the future use of these inexpensive devices and their availability to maleficent actors. Our work suggests that UASs in air and underwater UUVs will be the future of military and civilian terrorist operations. UAS / UUVs can deliver a huge punch for a low investment and minimize human casualties.https://newprairiepress.org/ebooks/1046/thumbnail.jp

Design in Engineering: An Evaluation of Civilian and Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Platforms, Considering Smart Sensing with Ethical Design to Embody Mitigation Against Asymmetric Hostile Actor Exploitation

This report is written in part-fulfilment of personal output criteria for the Visiting Research Fellowship (Sir Richard Grenville Fellowship) at the Changing Character of War Centre, Pembroke College, Oxford, and the Centre for Sea Power and Strategy, Britannia Royal Naval College, Plymouth University at BRNC, Dartmouth. In this report I undertook an extensive analysis of the maritime UAV platform systems sector of a wide range of upstream manufacturing industry and downstream end user stakeholders. I consulted a global range of military and civilian users, to inform discussions around civilian UAV platforms which could be modified by hostile non-state actors, with emphasis on the littoral maritime region. This has strategic relevance to the United Kingdom, being an island-state with over 10,000 miles of coastline, c. 600 ports, and nearly 300 off-shore oil and gas platforms. In addition the UK has 14 dependencies together with a combined EEZ of 2.5 million square miles, the fifth largest in the world

Impact of awareness, readiness, control, response, and technology usage on crisis management of drones threats in Dubai International Airport

Drones offer many advantages but also present risks to sensitive areas like airports. The present study investigates the significant relationship between crisis readiness, crisis awareness, crisis control, and crisis response to crisis management. Specifically, this study examines the interaction of technology usage in the Dubai international airport in the conditions of drone threats. The target population selected for this research equates to the number of both senior and junior staff working at the Dubai international airport. There are thousands of staff working in the various airport operations but no official numbers have been made public. The data for this study came from 364 respondents, and it was gathered through questionnaires that were collected in person. The technique of sample selection is based on convenience. The results show that there is a 63.1% variance in crisis management that can be explained by the four independent factors. The finding further revealed that the ability to respond to a crisis has the best predictive power (Beta = 0.368), followed by crisis awareness (Beta = 0.319), crisis preparedness (Beta = 0.289), and crisis control (Beta = 0.107). The relationship between crisis readiness and moderating influence is not significant, however the other three variables have significant moderating influences. These findings are significant because they assess the Impact of Crisis readiness on Crisis Management, Crisis Awareness and Crisis Control of Drones’ Threats at DIA. The study recommends an investigation into the awareness and readiness in managing drone crises at the UAE Airport to improve effectiveness and also performance of the organization and also speed in responding to growth

Organic over-the-horizon targeting for the 2025 surface fleet

Please note that this activity was not conducted in accordance with Federal, DOD, and Navy Human Research Protection RegulationsAdversarial advances in the proliferation of anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) techniques requires an innovative approach to the design of a maritime system of systems capable of detecting, classifying, and engaging targets in support of organic over-the-horizon (OTH) tactical offensive operations in the 2025–2030 timeframe. Using a systems engineering approach, this study considers manned and unmanned systems in an effort to develop an organic OTH targeting capability for U.S. Navy surface force structures of the future. Key attributes of this study include overall system requirements, limitations, operating area considerations, and issues of interoperability and compatibility. Multiple alternative system architectures are considered and analyzed for feasibility. The candidate architectures include such systems as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as well as prepositioned undersea and low-observable surface sensor and communication networks. These unmanned systems are expected to operate with high levels of autonomy and should be designed to provide or enhance surface warfare OTH targeting capabilities using emerging extended-range surface-to-surface weapons. This report presents the progress and results of the SEA-21A capstone project with the recommendation that the U.S. Navy explore the use of modestly-sized, network-centric UAVs to enhance the U.S. Navy’s ability to conduct surface-based OTH tactical offensive operations by 2025.http://archive.org/details/organicovertheho1094545933Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
