The historical context of drone proliferation is marked by the role of Western nations in arming and training militant groups. The use of drones in conflicts such as the Iraq War and the Syrian Civil War has contributed to the escalation of drone-based terrorism. Moreover, the development of counter-drone technologies like Sky Map reflects a broader trend of militarization and the securitization of global politics.
The deployment of Ukraine's Sky Map anti-drone system in the Gulf region highlights the escalating threat of drone-based terrorism and the need for a comprehensive global response.
The international sharing of counter-drone technologies and expertise can help mitigate the risks associated with drone proliferation. Moreover, the inclusion of marginalized voices and perspectives, as well as the development of community-based counter-drone initiatives, can help promote more inclusive and effective counter-terrorism strategies. The future modelling and scenario planning of drone security infrastructure can help mitigate the risks associated with drone proliferation and promote more effective and sustainable solutions.
