Abstract

The rapid proliferation and increasing accessibility of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have significantly transformed the threat environment of deployed military forces. Military camps, as predominantly static and spatially extensive installations, have become particularly vulnerable to UAV-based reconnaissance and attack capabilities. This paper argues that the drone threat affecting military camps cannot be considered homogeneous, as it is fundamentally shaped by the differing functions, military value, and vulnerability of internal functional zones. Building on the NATO Deployed Force Infrastructure concept, the study examines military camps as complex systems composed of service and accommodation zones. Different types of UAV threats are capable of exerting negative effects on areas designated for the accommodation and support of deployed forces in distinct ways; therefore, a zone-based theoretical framework for C-UAS detection and mitigation requirements is necessary.
