3. Methodology 3.1. Research Design In this study, we propose a defense system that integrates AI-driven automation and drone technology to effectively counter emerging airborne threats, particularly balloon-based attacks. The system operates through a structured sequence of operations: (1) Target Detection and Identification, (2) Target Capture, (3) Scanning, (4) Observer, (5) Share on Webpage, and (6) Decision and Supervisor. The overall system workflow is illustrated in Figure 1.

1. Introduction Advancements in geospatial remote sensing technologies, driven by increased spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions [1,2], have revolutionized various fields, including national economies, ecological protection, and national security. These technologies enable precise observations and analyses for diverse applications, including Earth observation [3] and the Internet of Things (IoT) [4], significantly improving the accuracy of information collection and analysis.
