Distributed counter-UAS kill chain linking sensors, C2, RF effects and lasers

The post describes an integrated counter-UAS architecture demonstrated in exercises that connects sensors and command-and-control to both RF effects and directed-energy (laser) interceptors in a distributed kill chain. The novelty is the operationalized integration across multiple effectors rather than a single standalone jammer or laser, suggesting a more scalable, networked air-defense approach against drones.
