Revolutionizing Drone Defense Through Edge AI and Blockchain Accountability

Presenter: Jurie Smit, Technical Lead Date: October 3, 2025 Audience: [Customize based on audience]

Slide 2: The Challenge

Modern Drone Threats Are Evolving Faster Than Defenses

Current Threats:

Swarm Attacks: 300% increase in coordinated multi-drone assaults
Autonomous Drones: RF-silent threats bypass 64% of current systems
Commercial Proliferation: 2.8M registered drones in US alone
Malicious Use: Drug smuggling, surveillance, kinetic attacks

Current Defense Limitations:

2-5 Second Response Time: Too slow for fast-moving threats
Cloud Dependency: Systems fail when communications are jammed
No Audit Trail: Legal defensibility concerns
High False Positive Rates: 15-25% causing operational disruption

The Result: Critical infrastructure and military installations remain vulnerable to evolving drone threats.

Slide 3: The Solution
