About
UAS Defense is an independent open-source intelligence platform tracking Unmanned Aerial Systems and counter-UAS technologies. Built by military and police professionals with operational intelligence experience, the platform aims to provide structured, sourced and actionable data for defense professionals, integrators, procurement teams and researchers. All content is intended for educational and awareness purposes, based exclusively on open-source documentation.
On Sourcing
This is a synthesized open-source reference, not an intelligence product. Every citation links to a real, public document — vendor pages, official program pages (DARPA, US Army RCCTO), CRS reports, or named research from RUSI, CSIS, INSS, FDD and similar institutions. Numeric ranges (range, speed, cost) are doctrinal generalizations across a category, not single-source figures.
Each source is tagged so you know what you're reading:
- PrimaryVendor page, official program, or specific dated report directly backing the claim.
- ReportingNews article from outlets like Reuters, CNN, Defense News or War Zone.
- BackgroundBroad publisher hub or topic overview — useful context, not a pinpoint citation.
Entries with no sources attached are doctrinal generalizations treated as common knowledge in the C-UAS community. If you spot something wrong or want a better source, the contact page is the fastest way to flag it. Verify before operational use — defense reference, not a substitute for current intelligence.
