China leads world in anti-drone patents with US and South Korea far behind, law firm finds
AI Summary
A report by the law firm Mathys & Squire reveals that China is leading the world in patent applications for anti-drone technology. Patent applications globally increased by 27% in the past year, driven by the growing use of drones in conflicts and security concerns. China filed 82 applications, significantly more than the US with 22 and South Korea with 6. The rise in anti-drone technology development is attributed to the transformation of modern warfare by drones, limitations of traditional interceptor missiles, and suspicious drone sightings near critical infrastructure in the West. Common anti-drone technologies being developed include lasers, microwaves, and jamming systems for use in airports, seaports, prisons, and other sensitive locations.
