?In recent times we have seen the usage of such technologies have been in the rise mostly in the European Union countries. Drone wall is used by border security forces, simply means a to obstruct unwanted drones entering the mainland. It also prevents movement of unwanted objects and stopping provocations by others.

?Drone wall is built on and above the physical security ?infrastructure and surveillance systems which is then integrated with advanced technologies of the drone managed by a command control centre.? The purpose is build a defence mechanism system to combat threats thereby giving a real time feedback to the command centre and the ground forces. This feature improves the security forces information at the last mile enabling them to take quick actions accordingly.

One of the key function of the drone wall is detection capabilities, with the right drone, a 24/7 aerial surveillance is obtained, thus sending the captured data for processing using Artificial Intelligence and an in case of an anomaly, a trigger action is initiated for the drone to act jointly with the joint forces. ?This system adopts usage of several sensors positioned at various spots thereby increasing the efficacy of the real time information.

?Thus, watch towers, physical defence structures, perimeter systems are all integrated with high resolution cameras along with the drone for integrated action.? European union has started making budgets for such Drone walls and is now being implemented in countries like Estonia, Norway, Polan , Finland, mainly the NATO countries. ??Gradually we believe such concepts will be adopted ny other countries thereby strengthening the defense systems using modern technologies.

?Just by combining drone wall, anti drone systems, border defense systems, a robust AI Security system is in place, minimizing human error, enabling quick forward action between ground units and aerial units
