Abstract:Based on the offensive and defensive employment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in the India-Pakistan conflict, this paper studies future methodologies for UAV and counter-UAV warfare. Firstly, by reviewing the UAV forces deployed by both sides, it summarizes the tactical methods of cluster-coordinated reconnaissance and strike. Secondly, from the perspective of counter-UAV operations, it systematically analyzes the counter-UAV equipment employed by both sides and summarizes their approaches to constructing integrated counter-UAV systems. Finally, based on conflict experience and referencing the practices of strong adversaries such as the U.S. military in UAV warfare and counter-UAV equipment development, several insights and recommendations are proposed for future UAV operations and counter-UAV system development.
