{"product_id":"countering-weaponized-fpv-drones-nathanial-andrew-pierson-9798257396649","title":"Countering Weaponized FPV Drones","description":"The provided text examines the rapid rise of \u003cb\u003eweaponized First-Person View (FPV) drones\u003c\/b\u003e and the sophisticated \u003cb\u003eCounter-UAS (C-UAS) architectures\u003c\/b\u003e designed to defeat them. Modern warfare has been transformed by an \u003cb\u003eeconomic asymmetry\u003c\/b\u003e where inexpensive, commercial-grade drones can neutralize multi-million dollar military assets. To combat this, defense strategies are shifting toward \u003cb\u003eheterogeneous sensor fusion\u003c\/b\u003e, combining radar, radio frequency, and acoustic data to identify threats that increasingly utilize \u003cb\u003eAI-driven autonomy\u003c\/b\u003e or \u003cb\u003efiber-optic tethers\u003c\/b\u003e to bypass traditional jamming. Engagement methods have evolved from \u003cb\u003eelectronic warfare\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ecyber-takeover\u003c\/b\u003e to \u003cb\u003ekinetic interceptor drones\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003edirected energy weapons\u003c\/b\u003e like high-energy lasers, which aim to rebalance the cost of defense. The sources emphasize that achieving \u003cb\u003eairspace dominance\u003c\/b\u003e now requires a layered, networked approach that integrates physical barriers with high-tech, autonomous countermeasures. Ultimately, the text highlights the urgent need for \u003cb\u003einstitutional innovation\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003etechnological sovereignty\u003c\/b\u003e to address the evolving global threat posed by these versatile aerial systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathanial Andrew Pierson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798257396649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.16d","brand":"Nathanial Andrew Pierson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097297133823,"sku":"9798257396649","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/countering-weaponized-fpv-drones-nathanial-andrew-pierson-9798257396649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
