From directed energy to AI and hardening, JIATF-401 is widening counter-UAS options从定向能武器到人工智能和加固措施,JIATF-401正在拓宽反无人机系统的选择范围。
JIATF-401 is expanding counter-UAS options with directed energy, AI, kinetic and non-kinetic systems, and hardening to counter evolving drone threats.

The counter-UAS fight increasingly requires having enough different ways to detect, track, and defeat drones to match the threat, terrain, mission, and cost of an engagement. That is pushing the Pentagon toward a layered approach that includes lower-cost sensing, kinetic and non-kinetic effectors, directed energy, artificial intelligence, and physical protection.
In this editorial eBRIEF , Breaking Defense examines how JIATF-401, led by Brig. Gen. Matthew Ross, is widening those options: testing lasers and high-power microwaves in operational settings, using AI to speed decision-making and testing, opening new paths for industry, and applying lessons from Ukraine showing that sometimes hardening, dispersion, or other infrastructure changes can be as valuable as another counter-drone system.

反无人机作战越来越需要多种多样的探测、追踪和拦截无人机的手段,以应对不同威胁、地形、任务和作战成本。这促使五角大楼采取分层防御策略,包括低成本的传感技术、动能和非动能效应器、定向能武器、人工智能以及物理防护。
在本期社论简报中,《防务新闻》探讨了由马修·罗斯准将领导的 JIATF-401 如何扩大这些选择:在作战环境中测试激光和高功率微波,利用人工智能加快决策和测试,为行业开辟新道路,并应用乌克兰的经验教训,表明有时加固、分散或其他基础设施变化与另一个反无人机系统一样有价值。
