On February 24, 2022, Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine became one of the deadliest conflicts in Europe since World War II. This invasion not only became the bloodiest but also fundamentally changed the world, shifting traditional warfare into the third revolution in modern warfare, and 21st-century deterrence for the next 74 years (2099), or perhaps forever.(The "NATO 2099" project "NATO 2099" project,a graphic novel, explores the future of the Alliance.)
The military experts describe the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict as the world's first full-scale "drone warfare."
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 something we haven’t seen before,” “This is the first time we’re seeing drone-on-drone conflict.”“(Ref., Credit: Legion Canada's Military History Magazine)
One of the most dangerous scenarios in the ongoing technological transformation is that the Russia has revived the 1980s post-Cold War era G7 industrialized nations, (The United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada) major security concerns of threats of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) carrying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drone capabilities, and their delivery systems into the 21st century, the next generation in warfare. (Ref: 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).-page 2)
The United States Executive Order 12938 on November 14, 1994, declared a national emergency to address the danger of WMD-carrying UAVs and drone technology
“—— the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons (“weapons of mass destruction”) and the means of delivering such weapons, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat”. — Presidential Executive Order 14 November 1994
—— Weapons of mass destruction—nuclear, biological, and chemical—along with the systems that deliver them, pose a major threat to our security and that of our allies and other friendly nations. Thus, a key part of our strategy is to seek to stem the proliferation of such weapons and to develop an effective capability to deal with these threats. President William J. Clinton A National Security Strategy of Engagement and Enlargement.(Ref: and Credit: The US Air Force Air Power Study Chapter 1 Introduction - page 1)
Protecting the United States and its allies from a rapidly evolving UAV/WMD weapons and delivery systems
In 1997,the US Air Force Air Power studies concluded that: "Identifying specific air defense systems that could protect the United States and its allies from attack by a UAV/WMD weapon system is beyond the scope of this study. However, what is important is that the threat that they pose is real, and the value of developing systems to defend against them should not be overlooked." (Ref: The US Air Force Air Power study page 33).
The United States Golden Dome Long-Range Missiles Interceptor: On January 27, 2025, United States President Donald Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 14186, titled "The Iron Dome for America,” later redubbed the project "Golden Dome for America.”." The "Golden Dome" is a proposed multi-layered, space-based, and ground-based missile defense system aimed at shielding the United States from advanced ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as drone swarms, including securing second-strike capabilities to defend against peer-level threats from adversaries and "rough" nations.
European Union Drone Wall Shield Strategy: In late 2025, the European Union urgently accelerated the development of a new strategy, the “Drone Wall,” a multi-layered European defense system to detect and counter malicious drone swarms entering its airspace. However, European leaders and experts also recognize that they need a Drone Wall deterrence system architecture strategy to succeed in a “nuclear umbrella” over Europe.

Gap of Close-Range Defensive Measures: June 03, 2025, “the top US Air Force Gen. David Allvin calls the Ukraine drone strikes a wake-up call for US and global air defense and a wake-up moment for militaries around the globe, both for defensive and offensive posture. Also said, "We need to pay more attention to that . "(Credit: DefenseNews) The general also said, “The future US air defense network must be able to counter small drones. "However, he said he believes the initial phase of Golden Dome development will not include closer-range defensive measures." (Ref. Credit: (Air&Space Forces Magazine)
AUVSI 2013 Washington, D.C., USA
Our mission began 16 years ago (in 2009), finding solutions to address the critical issues of 1980s Cold War-era UAVs and drones carrying weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. Most importantly, to build system-of-systems architecture warfare strategies that move beyond traditional warfare platforms. Specifically focusing on autonomous and AI-driven strategies that can adapt to 21st-century evolving threats,to deter modern nuclear and other WMD warfare.
This technological invention is a new and improved air-based warfare platform designed for finding solutions to the long-overdue global security issues of the 1980s post-Cold War era, UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD), chemical, biological, and radiological (CBRN), and UAV and drone systems that deliver them. Particularly, to intercept and defeat threats that the existing "Iron Dome" and the proposed "Golden Dome" systems cannot defend against.
"EQQUERA Mother Hen and Parasite Chicks - Air-Based Air Defense System" (EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD system)
The Technological invention is referred to as the "EQQUERA Mother Hen and Parasite Chicks - Air-Based Air Defense System" (EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD system). The system is designed as a “third layer of interceptors” between the 1980s proposed space-based interceptor concept (Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as the Star Wars program), now referred to as the “Golden Dome,” and the existing ground-based interceptors, such as “Iron Dome”. The “system” specifically focuses on addressing close-range interceptor gap issues.
To achieve these objectives, we have been researching, designing, inventing, and developing a novel "Air-based air defense system" concept, along with new war-fighting strategies referred to as the “THEBEE” system.
The EQQUERA “Air-based air defense system”
The EQQUERA “Air-based air defense system” is a family of systems-of-systems architecture platforms that comprises a Mother UAV (Mother hen) carrying a fleet of sub-UAVs (chicks), each sub-UAV carrying several mini-UAVs (Grand chicks), launch and recover in midair. These sub-UAVs and mini-UAVs (drones) are equipped with a system that enables them to surround the Mother UAV, communicate with each other, and operate as a single family.
The system also comprises integrated communication capabilities with existing manned, unmanned, space, and ground systems and other operational platforms, enabling it to dominate the airspace for full-scale combat and non-combat operations, including intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities that help to build air, land, sea, cyber, and space dominance.
Artificial Intelligence Platform:
This "technological invention" is already protected by international intellectual property rights and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) patent rules, which provide maximum protection for the invention. The European Patent Office granted patent rights for 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. (Note: the sensitive, secret, and vital characteristics of the invention, including technological features, are not publicly available, neither in the patent disclosure nor on the website.)
The US Department of War (DOW), previously known as the Department of Defense (DoD), the "Weapons Systems," and the Canadian Aerospace Warfare Centers all evaluated the invention during the early stages, and it was well received. We are now entering a new phase, with a significantly improved system-of-systems architecture warfare strategies platform that is critically needed for ongoing national and global security, as well as for future military readiness for the "third revolution in warfare" in 2030 and beyond.
Preparing for a wartime scenario: In the 1980s, during the post-Cold War era, industrialized nations recognized that the future warfare 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."
