ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS IN COUNTERING ASYMMETRIC THREATS: A MULTILAYERED APPROACH

This article is devoted to the transformation of air defense systems in the context of the widespread proliferation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and high-precision weapons in modern military conflicts. The study analyzes the resilience of traditional defense systems against asymmetric threats and scientifically substantiates the prospects for implementing integrated multilayered (echeloned) systems, as well as the use of laser weaponry, artificial intelligence, and high-power microwave weapons to neutralize these threats.
