This essay examines through TPNF how AI-enabled autonomy is transforming drone warfare and consequently changing the technological requirements of drone detection and counter-UAS systems. Using Greece’s Centaurus, Telemachus and Hyperion programs, it argues that future counter-drone superiority will depend not upon one permanent technological solution, but upon the ability to continuously adapt the detection and response architecture faster than the threat evolves.
