Abstract

The rapid proliferation of small and low-cost unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has introduced complex threats, particularly swarm drone attacks that challenge conventional defense systems. Without an integrated command structure, defensive operations tend to be fragmented, resulting in poor situational awareness, delayed responses, and inefficient use of resources. This study examines the effectiveness of a Combined Tactical Forward Post (CTFP) as a centralized command and control node to enhance territorial defense against drone threats. The CTFP integrates multi-sensor inputs—including radar, radio frequency (RF) detection, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems, and unmanned platforms through sensor fusion and AI-assisted analysis to generate a real-time common operational picture. A layered defense model is proposed, consisting of detection, command and control, electronic warfare, kinetic engagement, and inner protection zones, enabling synchronized application of soft-kill and hard-kill measures. The results indicate that CTFP significantly improves detection accuracy, decision-making speed, and coordination across defensive units, particularly in handling swarm attacks through parallel tracking, threat prioritization, and adaptive response. Additionally, the incorporation of redundancy and distributed backup systems enhances operational resilience under contested conditions. Overall, the CTFP framework provides a comprehensive, adaptive, and scalable solution for countering modern drone threats, making it highly relevant for complex operational environments such as archipelagic regions.

Abstract

Robotic technology has become a critical component in modern military operations due to its ability to enhance operational effectiveness, improve battlefield awareness, and reduce risks to human personnel. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, sensor technologies, and communication networks has significantly expanded the capabilities of military robots across land, air, surface, and underwater domains. This study examines the role of robotic technology in supporting combat operations, focusing on its applications in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), force protection, logistics support, target acquisition, urban warfare, and electronic warfare. Military robotic systems, including Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs), and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), provide enhanced operational flexibility and enable missions in hazardous environments where human deployment would be highly risky. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence enables autonomous navigation, target recognition, sensor fusion, and real-time decision support, thereby improving mission efficiency and accuracy. The study also discusses key advantages of military robotics, including casualty reduction, increased mission endurance, and force multiplication capabilities. However, several challenges remain, such as cybersecurity vulnerabilities, communication disruptions, limited autonomy, energy constraints, and ethical concerns regarding autonomous weapon systems. Future developments are expected to focus on swarm robotics, human-robot teaming, AI-driven autonomy, multi-domain operations, and advanced energy systems. The findings indicate that robotic technology will continue to play an increasingly significant role in shaping future warfare by enhancing military capabilities while minimizing operational risks and human casualties.

Abstract

Ground combat vehicle survivability is a multidimensional engineering problem involving threat avoidance, threat interception, ballistic protection, blast mitigation, occupant protection, and preservation of vehicle functionality. This study proposes an anatomy-based Survivability Onion framework that connects the anatomical structure of a ground vehicle with a hierarchical sequence of defensive layers. The framework divides vehicle anatomy into major zones, including the front hull, side hull, roof/turret, underbody, crew compartment, and engine/powertrain compartment. These zones are evaluated against four representative threat categories: kinetic projectiles, shaped-charge weapons, mine/IED blasts, and top-attack threats. The proposed Survivability Onion consists of five sequential protection layers: (1) don't be seen through camouflage and signature management, (2) don't be targeted through electronic warfare and jamming, (3) don't be hit through active protection systems, (4) don't be penetrated through passive and reactive armor, and (5) don't kill the crew through spall protection, blast-resistant seats, and occupant restraints. A conceptual threat-to-outcome mapping is then developed to relate threat location, vehicle anatomy, protection layer, damage mechanism, and survivability outcome. The framework indicates that survivability should not be represented solely by armor thickness; instead, it should be treated as a system-level architecture in which external signature reduction, active defense, structural protection, and crew protection complement one another. Recent studies on V-shaped hulls, composite armor, underbody blast loading, and occupant injury support the importance of integrating structural and human-protection considerations.
