No single sensor wins the drone war
Australia is funding both halves of the answer — layered sensing and a shot cheap enough to use. Read Department 13 and EOS Defence Systems together and the same conclusion falls out: RF can’t see the drone that doesn’t transmit, and an effector is only as good as the track that cues it.

The rules just changed. Build your counter-drone plan around EO/IR.
The new C-UAS rule split the market in two: detection you can deploy today, mitigation you wait in a licensing queue for. How buyers should re-strategize — and why passive EO/IR is the layer that’s clear to switch on now.

Cooled-MWIR pan-tilt-zoom sensors are sold on range. Against small, autonomous, swarming drones a moving camera can only watch one thing at a time — here’s why fixed-stare thermal plus AI is the more robust counter-UAS architecture.

How to sink a navy with a $500 drone
Ukraine is fighting Sun Tzu’s war with uncrewed systems that cost less than the missiles fired at them. What the asymmetry means for ports, offshore assets and anyone with something on the water.

Protecting VIPs from drones
What a warship-escorted superyacht tells us about protecting VIPs in the drone era — and why radar, RF and jamming don’t travel with a principal. The case for a passive thermal layer.

A detection nobody can review is a rumor
In counter-UAS, hardware is table stakes — the detection algorithm and the management system decide whether a site is actually protected. Four questions every fleet owner eventually asks, and how GOTEAM Hub answers them.
