- 1 University of Public Service, Budapest, Hungary
Abstract
This article analyzes the air defense relevance of LSS-type threats. Summaries possible attack scenarios. The air defences have to face new types of challenges in addition to the traditional threat like so-called the LSS (Low Slow and Small) threat by micro, mini drones (including so-called COTS drones) and small UAS systems. The properly heterogeneous sensor and intervention systems need to be integrated if we are to create effective air defences against LSS-type threats. The layered air defence have to can integrate almost all effectors with their sensors and other sensor systems into flexible and effective C2 system.
