Military doctrinal analysis of combining mobile eVTOL interceptors with static radar and electronic warfare batteries.
Ground radar systems suffer from terrain masking and line-of-sight blockage caused by hills, buildings, and tree lines, allowing low-flying micro-drones to approach undetected until within striking range.
Deploying persistent airborne eVTOL interceptors elevates AESA radars to 500 meters altitude, expanding radar horizons beyond 15 kilometers and eliminating terrain shadows for comprehensive early warning.
Defensive doctrine dictates engaging threats at maximum range via electronic spoofing, neutralizing mid-range swarms with high-power microwaves, and reserving kinetic point-defense only as a final backup.
