👉 A hosting weapon refers to a type of weapon or technology designed to be deployed remotely, often by a non-state actor or a small group with limited resources, to disrupt or destroy critical infrastructure, communication networks, or military assets of a target. These weapons can include improvised explosive devices (IEDs), drones, cyber-attacks, or other electronic warfare tools. Unlike traditional weapons, hosting weapons leverage the element of surprise and the ability to strike from a distance, making them particularly challenging to detect and neutralize. They are often used in asymmetric warfare scenarios where the attacking party seeks to level the playing field against a more powerful adversary by exploiting vulnerabilities in the target's systems and defenses.
