Kinetic counter-UAS engagement
Offensive reactions involve disrupting or destroying a hostile UAV when stealth or defensive measures are insufficient.
Engage larger UAVs with dedicated air defense systems where available. Use electronic countermeasures when equipped.
Small arms engagement of small UAVs is a last resort. If required:
- Coordinate volume of fire.
- Use tracers to adjust.
- Maintain awareness of ground threats.
Engagement must be balanced against mission priorities, ammunition use, and exposure risk.
