On February 24, 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine fundamentally changed the world and transformed the future of warfare forever.
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 modern warfare.
This transformation of warfare also brought back the 1980s post-Cold War era, critical issues of nuclear and other WMD unmanned aerial vehicles and drones carrying weapons, and their delivery systems, to the 21st-century modern warfare, and for the next 75 years or forever.
EQQUERA Technological invention for the next-generation air dominance and deterrence
The “Technological Invention” of Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiative, "Air-based air defense system," is designed for modern defense to address 21st-century electronic warfare challenges, and to enhance readiness strategies against evolving nuclear and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats. Specifically focusing on addressing the post-Cold War era, issues and concerns of UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological, and radiological weapons) and their delivery systems.
The WMD and their delivery systems of UAVs and drones have been a global concern since the post-Cold War era, which has now become the highest priority for 21st-century modern warfare and deterrence. (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).
The Air Force Air Power studies further revealed 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: and Credit:The US Air Force Air Power study: page 42)
In the 1980s, during the post-Cold War era, G7 members raised the issue of UAVs and drones carrying nuclear weapons and their delivery systems
In the 1980s, during the post-Cold War era, seven industrialized nations, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K., and Canada raised significant security concerns and issues in regards to the UAVs and drones carrying nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons, and their delivery systems. (Ref:The US Air Force Airpower Study, page 2).
The studies also stated; “The potential exists for the proliferation of both UAVs and WMD to become widespread and thus a major security concern. There is no clear solution to this problem. (Ref: Abstract page v), It also indicates that WMD delivery systems often receive less attention than do the weapons themselves.”
The EQQUERA technological invention of an Air-based air defense system is designed with an interconnected communications and operations platform that includes the Golden dome space-based interceptors and the Iron dome ground-based interceptors architecture. The space-based interceptors are valuable assets to the EQQUERA Air-based air defense system, specifically contributing to suppress, deter, and destroy enemies' nuclear and other WMD weapons payload UAVs and drones.
The EQQUERA Air-based air defense system is also designed with a system-of-system architecture that can address the critical gaps and challenges in the proposed space-based “Golden Dome” interceptor systems and the existing ground-based “Iron Dome” systems. Specifically, to intercept and defeat threats that the existing "Iron Dome" and the proposed "Golden Dome" systems mostly cannot defend against.
The Air-based air defense system is a new and improved system-of-systems architecture defense system
A new technological invention, the Air-Based Air Defense System, is also designed with a new and improved system-of-systems architecture that can be integrated into space-based and ground-based systems to address critical gaps and challenges in the proposed space-based “Golden Dome” interceptor systems and the existing ground-based “Iron Dome” systems. Most experts acknowledge that existing defense risks cannot be eliminated entirely or minimized without additional defensive systems.
The key objective of our technological invention is to create an “airborne protective defense shield, system-of-system platform" with a large family of UAVs and drone interceptors to address existing issues. Particularly, to intercept and defeat threats that the existing "Iron Dome" and the proposed "Golden Dome" systems cannot defend against.
AUVSI 2013 Washington, D.C., USA
For the past 16 years (since 2009), we have been researching, designing, and inventing “technological inventions” of the autonomous "Air-based air defense system" known as the "EQQUERA Mother Hen and Parasite Chicks" Air-based air defense system (EQQUERA MHPC-ABAD System) and the “THEBEE” warfighting system for the next generation of Artificial Intelligence autonomous electronic warfare.
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, a major security concern of old Soviet Union issues of 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.

The United States of America Executive Order 14 November 1994 - Weapons of Mass Destruction and delivery systems
"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. The US 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).
14 November 1994 the United States of America, Excecutive Order: " I, William J. Clinton,President of the United States of America, find that 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.(Ref: and Credi: The US Air Force Air power study, page, Chapter 3, page 13)
In the 1980s, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) missile defense system, also known as Star Wars
In the 1980s, the US president Ronald Reagan proposed a missile defense system, also known as the Star Wars program, specifically to develop a space-based "a next generation missile shield against the Soviet Union's nuclear missile attacks. This multi-layered program proposed advanced technologies, such as lasers and particle beams, but faced significant hurdles due to the lack of technological advancement at the time, including high costs and controversy over the potential escalation of an arms race.
On January 27, 2025, US President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) 14186, titled “The Iron Dome for America”, later referred to as "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.
In 1997, the US Air Force studies (Ref., Credit: "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Weapons of Mass Destruction: A Lethal Combination?" - JEFFREY N. RENEHAN, Major, US Air Force School of Advanced Airpower Studies) revealed that "The potential exists for the proliferation of both UAVs and WMD to become widespread and thus a major security concern. 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 threat." (US Air Force Studies -Abstract page - v).
The Air Force studies also stated 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 studies page 33). 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."(Chapter 6 conclusion).
Soon after the post-Cold War era was over, the issue of UAVs and drones carrying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems was not the highest priority in the military for decades, nor given much attention until February 24, 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine with UAVs and drones, initiating the first new drone on drone warfare. However, many military experts have conducted numerous studies on these concerns and issues for many decades, including discussions among high-level government officials, agencies, and military leaders.
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)
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 designed with a system that can surround the Mother UAV, communicate and operate with each other as one big family, including communicating with existing manned, unmanned, space, and ground systems, and other operational platforms, all of which can enable it to dominate the airspace for full-scale combat operations. The system is also designed with Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities that span air, land, sea, and space domains.
The invention is also designed with communications and integrated battle management connectivity with the military and civil manned and unmanned platforms. This includes integrated connectivity with the "Iron Dome interceptors" (Ref: Rand Corp.) and the proposed "Golden Dome interceptors" (Ref: Golden Dome Could Learn from SDI Politics -Rand Corp. Credit: William Courtney), as well as integration across all domains, the air, sea, land, space, and cyberspace. The key objective of integration is to build an 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.
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".
Further stated "Drone dominance will do two things: Drive costs down and capabilities up. We will deliver tens of thousands of small drones to our force in 2026, and hundreds of thousands of them by 2027. I will soon be meeting with the military services to discuss transformational changes in warfighting doctrine. We need to outfit our combat units with unmanned systems at scale," Hegseth asserted.
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.
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.)
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 largely 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).
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.
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 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." ( WorkSafeBC 8.24 High visibility apparel Act. Subsection (3) (b) (i, ii, iii) and (c).)
