Abstract With the rapid advancement of intelligent and unmanned military technologies, unmanned air defense systems are exerting a significant impact on the evolution of warfare paradigms, serving as essential equipment for the transformation of future air and space offensive and defensive operations toward non-contact, asymmetric, and zero-casualty engagements. This paper investigates the current development status of unmanned air defense equipment in major military powers. It analyzes the characteristics and disparities in foreign unmanned air defense equipment development, assesses future development trends, and summarizes the military requirements for unmanned air defense operations and equipment capabilities. Based on the evolution patterns of operational styles, typical operational scenarios for unmanned air defense equipment are constructed. Key technologies are proposed with emphasis on unmanned platforms, situational awareness, autonomous decision-making, and interceptor payloads, providing references for the establishment of unmanned air defense equipment system architecture.
