-
This article provides a scientific analysis of the role of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems in protecting the state borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The study examines the ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and strike capabilities of UAV systems within the context of Iran's diverse geographical landscape, including mountainous, desert, and maritime regions. Furthermore, the article highlights the integration of UAVs, networked sensors, and Electronic Warfare (EW) assets within the “Smart Border” framework, alongside operational models designed to counter asymmetric threats.
