For the past 16 years (since 2009), we have been researching, designing, and inventing an autonomous and Artificial Intelligence (AI) concept, "technological invention," an Air-based air defense system known as "EQQUERA Mother Hen and Parasite Chicks Air-based air defense system" (EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD System).
The "EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD" system is a new and improved air-based warfare platform designed to address the long-overdue issues of the 1980s post-Cold War era concerns about the prospect of UAVs and drone warfare in the 21st century. Specifically, to address the threats of old Soviet Union era UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and systems that deliver them.
Artificial Intelligence Platform: The "technological invention" is also designed with an analysis of the 1950s idea of the AI concept ( Ref, credit: US Department of Energy "The birth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research" ), along with the constant development of machine learning autonomy and improvements in robotic technologies. These investigations revealed what future warfare will look like and the strategies needed to overcome the challenges it poses.
In 1997, the US Air Force studies (Ref., Credit: "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?" - JEFFREY N. RENEHAN, Major, USA), reveal that "there is no clear solution to this problem; however, actions including bringing the issue to the forefront, strengthening export and arms controls, deterrence and defense will have a synergistic effect that will help mitigate this threats" (Ref: Abstract). The studies also concluded stating that "Identifying specific air defense systems" that could protect the United States and its allies from attack by a UAV/WMD weapon system". (Ref: The US Air Force studies page 33 - 34).
Soon after the post-Cold War era was over, the issue of UAVs and drone warfare and carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems was not the highest priority in the military for many decades, nor given much attention until February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine with UAVs and drones.
In April 2023, Dr. Caitlin Lee, who leads the Center for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Autonomy Studies at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies in Arlington, Virginia, told Scientific American; “This is the first time we’re seeing drone-on-drone conflict.” (Ref., Credit: Legion Canada's Military History Magazine)

On February 24, 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine became one of the deadliest conflicts in Europe since World War II. This war not only became the bloodiest but also fundamentally changed the world, transforming traditional warfare strategies into the third revolution in warfare.(Ref: The Third Revolution in Military Affairs).
What is the "third revolution in warfare"? The third revolution in warfare is an advancement of fully autonomous weapons systems and warfighting techniques that operate with little or no human intervention. This strategy includes unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drone technologies integrated into the Artificial Intelligence (AI) machine learning capabilities, enabling them to operate independently in combat and non-combat missions and tasks. Given the strategic environment, UAVs and drone warfare, and the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities have become an integral part of the third revolution in warfare and an important strategy for 21st-century deterrence since the end of the Cold War.
The EQQUERA technological invention is a family of system-of-systems architecture, comprising UAVs, drones, and missile defense and offense platforms, all of which integrate into a novel, and significantly improved air-based air defense system that is urgently needed and overdue since the post-Cold War era.
This family of systems is designed with a Mother UAV to carry a large number of sub-UAVs and sub-UAVS to carry mini-UAVs, and launch and recover in midair, while surrounding the Mother UAV with fleet of sub-UAVs and drones, communicating with each other, and communicate with existing manned and unmanned systems, space systems all integrating into a fully interoperable operational platforms that blankets a large area in the sky for large-scale combat and non-combat operations, protecting against adversaries, non-state actors and enemy attacks.
The "technological invention" is already protected by international intellectual property rights and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) patent rules, which help to control and prevent global power competition. (Note: the sensitive, secret, and vital elements of the technology of the invention are not publicly available, neither in the patent disclosure nor on the website.)
The invention further consists with communications and battle management connectivity that integrates military and civil manned and unmanned platforms, including connectivity with "Iron Dome interceptors" (Ref: Rand Corp.) and the proposed "Golden Dome interceptors" (Ref: Golden Dome Could Learn from SDI Politics -Rand Corp.) as well as connectivity across all domains air, sea, land, space and cyber space to enhance air superiority and information superiority over adversaries, enemies and non-state actors. Particularly, to intercept and defeat threats that the existing "Iron Dome" and the proposed "Golden Dome" systems cannot defend against.
The military has a long history of partnering and collaborations with private individuals and entities on military inventions, dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Once again, in November 2021, "NATO has reached out to civil society, youth, and the private sector for their input on the NATO 2030 initiative". The "NATO 2030 initiative is about making sure the Alliance remains ready today to face tomorrow's challenges.
NATO Defence Ministers focus on deterrence and counter-drone initiatives
October 15, 2025, meeting of NATO Ministers of Defence, Brussels, Belgium, at the press conference, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said; "We also discussed our deterrence and defence posture and some of the ways in which we are innovating to deal with new and novel challenges – including those posed by drones. "As a result, NATO will implement a number of additional counter-drone measures that will build on, and expand, and accelerate our ability to counter drones."
The US also recognized the importance of the private-public partnerships. On December 2, 2022, Lt. Gen. Stacey Hawkins, Commander of the US Air Force Sustainment Center, stated, "Highly efficient public-private partnerships will be a key ingredient in providing successful sustainment outcomes and deterring adversaries in the future." Public-private partnerships enable the military to leverage private-sector innovation and expertise to develop new concepts, technologies, and solutions. (Ref., credit: Air Force Sustainment Center Public Affairs, by Amy Schiess).
On September 23, 2025, the US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, announced (Ref: The US Army) that he had directed Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll to formally establish "a joint, interagency task force to counter hostile unmanned aerial systems, commonly referred to as drones".
In September 2025, European Union leaders met to discuss the urgent need for the multi-layered "drone wall" defence system. Moreover, NATO and the European Union expressed their full support for this proposed system, following Russian airspace violations over Denmark, Poland, and Estonia. "A ‘Drone Wall’ is needed for Europe to defend against a new threat" (Ref., credit: The Chatham House, by Tim Chattell).
The global superpowers—the US, Russia, and China admit that 21st-century warfare differs significantly from traditional warfare. They also acknowledge that whoever develops a drone-on-drones swarm warfare strategy combined with artificial intelligence (AI) will play a significant role in the next generation of warfare and dominate the world.
During World War I and World War II, the first and second revolutions in warfare, a combination of technological innovations with intellectual property rights, considerably influenced the military power of the US and NATO allies. These inventions also significantly altered the nature of warfare, including the development of new weaponry, technological advancements, modernization of warfare strategies, economic advances, and bilateral and multilateral agreements that have remained in effect for many decades.
Some of these technological advancements include the development of gunpowder, machine guns, tanks, aircraft, trench and chemical warfare during World War I, "The Evolution of World War I Aircraft" (Ref and credit: National Air and Space Museum, USA), and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, as well as the evolving nature of nuclear strategies during World War II, including the advancement of atomic bomb, computers and other civil advancements. "Scientific and Technological Advances of World War II" (Ref: and credit: The National World War II Museum, New Orleans, USA).
On February 24, 2022, Russia's invation not only changed the world, but also brings back the non-strategic nuclear posture, (Ref.and credit: Understanding Russian strategic culture and the low-yield nuclear threat - Rand Corp.) and the 1980s post-Cold War era concern of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones carrying Weapons of Mass Destruction, along with their delivery systems, to the next generation warfare. (Ref., and Credit: In 1997, the United States Air Force Air Power Studies "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?" - JEFFREY N. RENEHAN, Major, USAF).
This 1997 US Air Force study concluded by stating, " The basic priority is to bring this issue to the forefront and make all parties aware that the potential exists for the combined use of UAVs and WMD." Further stated: "The bottom line is that the United States may one day face an enemy that has obtained the capability to employ WMD on UAVs in battle. It is prudent to do everything in our power to prevent this from happening." (Ref: US Air Force Air Power Studies Chapter 6 conclusion).
International patent rights are a crucial element for protecting technological inventions on a global scale. The European Patent Office granted patent rights for our technological invention based on an International Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). We also validated the patent in other contracting states. A second PCT application has also been filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), incorporating new improvements to the original patent. The International Searching Authority, WIPO, issued an International Search Report stating that the claims for the improvement of the invention are novel, inventive, and industrially applicable over the prior art.
The US Department of War (DOW), previously known as the Department of Defense (DoD), the "Weapons Systems," and the Canadian Aerospace Warfare Centers both evaluated the invention during the early stages in 2018 and 2017, and it was well-received. We are now entering a new phase, with a significantly improved system-of-systems architecture warfare strategy platforms that is critically needed for today's national and global security, as well as for future military readiness for the "third revolution in warfare" of 2030 and beyond.
Note: Note: The disclosed information in patent applications and on our website is limited in scope. These limitations are forced mainly due to the secrecy and sensitive nature of the invention.
Preparing for a wartime scenario: In the 1980s, during the post-Cold War era, industrialized nations recognized that the future warfare strategy would be significantly more complex and lethal than World Wars I and II. Also, the use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons was highly possible.
Recognizing the dangers of these catastrophic events, we also developed an emergency preparedness and response plan in 2008. This plan focused specifically on building a safe and workable environment for law enforcement, emergency responders, military personnel, and healthcare workers to protect themselves, enabling them to save public lives. The Project is known as the "CBRNE Traigle Project".
The main focus of this "Project" is to build a "joint force" with law enforcement, other emergency responders, medical, and military personnel, and health care workers, to coordinate and work together in the event of a CBRNE catastrophe, to save themselves and save public lives.
We first introduced the "CBRN Triangle Project" to law enforcement personnel during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in Canada. This distinctive identification system is now part of the safety equipment program for first responders and other emergency response personnel.
The project received government agency approvals (WorkSafeBC) following two public hearings. And also, this identification system was subsequently amended into the Canada Occupational Health and Safety Act, which stated, "distinguishing emergency medical assistant or in any other capacity, as well as law enforcement, defined in the Police Act."
