The safeguarding of friendly forces and assets from aerial threats remains a paramount concern in modern warfare. Air defense, as a direct counter to aerial warfare, encompasses a wide array of weapon systems, sensor technologies, command and control arrangements, and passive measures designed to nullify or diminish the effectiveness of hostile air actions. Continue reading Air Defense Strategy: A “Playing to Win” Approach
The landscape of gun-based air defense artillery systems has undergone significant transformation throughout military history, with recent developments indicating a renaissance for these platforms despite the proliferation of missile-based systems. Current analysis reveals that gun-based systems maintain critical relevance in modern integrated air defense architectures due to their cost-effectiveness, rapid response capabilities, and effectiveness against emerging threats like drones and loitering munitions.

Det europeiske luftforsvarslandskapet har gjennomgått betydelige endringer de siste årene, der ledende europeiske nasjoner har tilpasset sine prioriteringer og investeringer for å møte nye sikkerhetsmessige utfordringer. Continue reading Hvordan Europa prioriterer bakkebasert luftforsvar
By defining systems according to their range, the technology can be tailored to ensure that every segment of the airspace—from local to extreme distances—is adequately covered. Continue reading Defining Air Defence
For å forstå og klassifisere luftvern er det nyttig å se på dem gjennom flere dimensjoner: oppdrag, måltyper, rekkevidder og våpenteknologier. Continue reading Hvordan definere luftvern?
Innledning Luftvern spiller en avgjørende rolle i Norges forsvarsevne, særlig i lys av økende sikkerhetspolitiske utfordringer. Forsvarsanalysen 2025 fremhever viktige funn og anbefalinger knyttet til luftvern, med fokus på eksisterende sårbarheter og nødvendige tiltak for å styrke landets forsvar. Analysen peker på manglende lagdelt luftvern, behovet for langtrekkende missilforsvar og økt satsing på drone-mottiltak. Videre belyses mulighetene for nordisk forsvarssamarbeid og viktigheten av bedre integrasjon … Continue reading Luftvern og Forsvarsanalysen 2025 (FFI)
Europas luftforsvarsprioriteringer har gått fra moderate til betydelige investeringer etter 2022, mens USA har opprettholdt en jevn utviklingskurve med fokus på globalt forsvar. Continue reading Sammenligning av utviklingen i bakkebaserte luftforsvarssystemer i Europa og USA (2010–2025)
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, air defense has become a cornerstone of Ukraine’s survival and resistance. Faced with relentless missile barrages, drone attacks, and aerial threats, Ukraine has relied on both its existing Soviet-era systems and modern Western technology to protect its cities, military infrastructure, and civilian population.
