On February 24, 2025, 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.(Credit: The Third Revolution in Military Affairs).
Moreover, this transformation of warfare strategies not only changes the future wars, but also brings back the non-strategic nuclear posture, ( Ref: 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,(Credit: In 1997, the United States Air Force Air Power Studies "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?") to the next generation, the third revolution in warfare for the next 75 years (2099) or forever. "(Ref: The NATO 2099 graphic novel takes place in a world that experienced a devastating series of global maritime attacks throughout the 2050s.)"
Preparing for a wartime mindset scenario
The US and NATO are urgently expanding military preparedness and response plans. In October 2024, NATO Secretary General said: NATO must adopt a wartime mindset to prepare for a long-term confrontation over the next many decades.

For the past 16 years (since 2009), we have been researching, designing, and inventing an autonomous and Artificial Intelligence (AI) concept, "technological invention," a new and improved 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 airborne warfare platform design to address the long-overdue 1980s post-Cold War era issues, and concerns of UAVs and drones warfare, and the old Soviet Union threats of UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and systems that deliver them.
The EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD system further expanded research on the 1950s birth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts, and integrated AI strategies with the new machine learning autonomy and robotics warfare capabilities into the invention. Further explore the negative aspects of AI and weapons systems, including the risks and dangers of Artificial Intelligence algorithms, which can lead to new conflicts and mass casualties. We also examine solutions and strategies that could help to overcome the negative aspects of AI challenges.
The complexity and danger of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drone Warfare strategy is not new to the global industrialized nations. In 1980s, during the post-Cold War era, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones carrying nuclear and other Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), Chemical, Biological, Radiological (CBRN), and their delivery systems became a significant security concern among seven industrialized nations: the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada. (Credit: In 1997, the United States Air Force Air Power Studies "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?").
The US Air Force studies further revealed that WMD delivery systems often receive less attention than do the weapons themselves. Also, no analysis concludes on the characteristics and capabilities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones' capability to carry weapons and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), including no solutions have been established or found to address these concerns and issues, either.
In October 2023, Caitlin Lee (Ref: Rand Corp.), who leads the US Center for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Autonomy Studies at the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies in Arlington, Virginia, said, "This is something we haven't seen before; this is the first time we're seeing drone-on-drone conflict".
The EQQUERA technological invention is a family of system-of-systems architecture, comprising UAVs, drones, and missile defense and offense platforms, all of which are integrated into a significantly improved air-based air defense system, which is urgently needed and overdue since the end of the Cold War era.
A family of systems is designed with a Mother UAV to carry a large number of sub-UAVs and mini-UAVs, and launch and recover in midair, surrounding the Mother UAV, communicating with each other, and integrating into a fully interoperable operational platform 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 through international intellectual property rights and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) patent rules, which control and prevent from global power competition. (Note: the secrecy and the 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, enrmies and non-state actors. Particularly, to intercept and defeat threats that the existing "Iron Dome" and the proposed "Golden Dome" systems cannot defend against.
International patent rights are a crucial element for protecting technological inventions on a global scale. The European Patent Office granted patent rights for the 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 granted 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.
During World War I and World War II, the first and second revolutions in warfare, a combination of inventions and intellectual property rights, significantly influenced the military powers of the US and NATO allies. These inventions significantly altered the nature of warfare, including the development of new weaponry, technological advancements, and the modernization of warfare strategies, which have remained in effect for many decades.
Some of these transformations include the development of gunpowder, machine guns, tanks, aircraft, trench warfare strategies during World War I , "The Evolution of World War I Aircraft" (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" (Credit: The National World War II Museum, New Orleans, USA)
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 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: The disclosed information in patent applications and on our website is limited in scope. This limitation is forced mainly due to the secrecy and sensitive nature of the invention.
Civil Preparedness and Response Plan for Law Enforcement, Emergency Responders and Military Personnel - CBRN event
The military experts recognize that the 21st-century war scenario will be significantly more complex and more lethal than World Wars I and II, and the use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons is highly possible.
Recognizing the dangers of these catastrophic issues, in 2008, we also invented and developed an emergency preparedness and response plan focusing on protecting law enforcement, emergency response, and military personnel in the event of CBRN attacks or other disruptions, including preparing for war scenarios.
This project is known as the "CBRN Triangle Project. The main focus of this "Project" is to join forces with the law enforcement, medical, and military personnel to save themself and save public lives.
We first introduced this "CBRN Triangle Project" to the law enforcement personnel during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics in Canada. It was well received, and now this distinctive identification system is 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. In fact, this identification system was subsequently amended in the 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." ( WorkSafeBC 8.24 High visibility apparel Act. Subsection (3) (b) (i, ii, iii) and (c).)
