  With the rapid evolution of modern warfare, drones, as an emerging threat on the battlefield, have become an important challenge that the armies of various countries must deal with. cell phone jammer In order to enhance its ability to respond to drone threats, NATO launched a military exercise called "Ramstein Legacy" on the Black Sea coast of Romania in June 2024 to test its latest anti-drone strategy. signal jammer This exercise not only demonstrated NATO's progress in dealing with first-level drone systems (including small, micro and ultra-small drones), but also provided valuable experience for future defense operations through actual exercises.

  Exercise background and purpose

  With the increasing application of first-level drone systems around the world, NATO's military doctrine has to be adjusted accordingly. Wifi jammer Traditionally, air superiority has always been a key element in NATO's defense system. However, in recent years, the rapid advancement of civilian and military drone technology has changed this situation. Low-cost, highly maneuverable small drones allow hostile forces to break through traditional air defense means with minimal resources, posing a huge security challenge to NATO.

  The "Ramstein Legacy" exercise was carried out in this context, with the aim of improving NATO's integrated air and missile defense system, especially against the threat of first-level drone systems. Troops from Romania, Germany, Portugal, Hungary, France, Turkey and Poland participated in the exercise, and fighter jets from the United Kingdom and Finland also provided air support for the exercise. In addition, three well-known companies - Echodyne of the United States, CS Group of France and Rohde & Schwarz of Germany - were invited to demonstrate their advanced anti-drone equipment.

  Exercise content and challenges

  On the first day of the exercise, participants mainly learned about the functions of anti-drone systems, including electronic warfare equipment, radar and command and control systems, through theoretical introductions and equipment demonstrations. As the exercise progressed, the difficulty of the actual exercise gradually increased, and participants received practical training in anti-drone operations in a complex environment.

  In the exercise, officers of the Italian Anti-drone Center of Excellence played the role of the Red Team. As the "enemy force", the drones they drove included common civilian models, such as the American Parrot Disco drone and two Chinese-made DJI drones. The Red Team's task is to simulate various possible drone attack scenarios, while the NATO forces participating in the exercise are responsible for identifying and responding to these threats through detection equipment.
