Drones are being used in conflicts and wars all over the world these days. Drones are used not only as essential weapon systems in war but also for various purposes in peacetime. Drones have become general-purpose weapons used primarily by countries, organizations, and individuals as asymmetrical powers with high costeffectiveness and efficiency. In particular, authoritarian states are transferring drone manufacturing technology, mass producing them without combat testing, and using them in warfare. Drones can be made at low cost and can be used for a variety of purposes, including surveillance and reconnaissance, assassination, bombing, deception, and show-off. In times of peace, it is necessary to establish an anti-drone defense system for key national facilities that are at the core of people's lives and the continuation of war. The anti-drone defense system for protecting important national facilities follows the procedures of detection, identification, decision, and strike. This study examined the threat of drones and the anti-drone defense system, identified potential limitations, and then developed combat development elements to address them. The purpose is to present measures for the core tasks of establishing a counter-drone defense system ecosystem among the derived combat development elements, namely doctrine (laws and systems) and leadership. In particular, a multi-domain integrated defense concept was proposed, taking into account the aerial threat of drones.
