Airfield Defence

Airfield defense involves protecting airport runways, aircraft, and personnel from threats such as enemy attacks, sabotage, or infiltration. It includes a combination of physical barriers, security personnel, surveillance systems, and early warning measures to detect and deter threats. Specialized units may operate weapons, artillery, or aircraft to defend the airfield if needed. The goal is to ensure the safe operation of air traffic and maintain control over the airfield’s security, especially in conflict zones or during heightened security situations. Effective airfield defense is critical for both military and civilian airports to prevent disruption and safeguard lives and assets.
