A notable development in modern military actions is the widespread use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In the course of current conflicts, combat involves the deployment of low-cost unmanned aircraft loaded with explosives. These aircraft navigate via global positioning system (GPS), to accurately reach targets located hundreds of kilometers away from their secure launch sites. Current command and control (C2) systems deployed to fight against enemy UAS do not possess the advanced know-how required to effectively protect troops and assets on this day frontline. To enhance their effectiveness, counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems must incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), and automated processes be a tower of strength to human factor in making decisions and empower the achievement of deter and defeat channels. This article highlights the need to integrate AI, and automated processes into C-UAS C2 systems. Incorporating these technologies will provide a combative lead in opposing nowadays and emerging enemy UAS hazards and procedures.
