Preventative reactions to UAV threats

---

This block is not in a published chapter and should not be relied upon.

UAV detection is difficult to avoid. Units should assume they are under observation at all times.

To reduce detection, identification, and tracking:

• Use camouflage, concealment, and terrain masking.
• Minimize movement in exposed areas.
• Avoid skyline positioning and predictable patterns.
• Reduce light, noise, and thermal signature where possible.

Preventative measures aim to delay or complicate enemy targeting decisions.
