EU Boosts Drone Defense with New Action Plan
11 Feb
Summary
- Europe will improve drone detection systems.
- New plan includes strengthening counter-drone testing.
- EU aims to create a 'trusted drone' equipment label.
The European Commission has launched a comprehensive action plan aimed at significantly bolstering Europe's drone detection capabilities. This strategic initiative, published on Wednesday, outlines a multi-faceted approach to address growing concerns regarding drone security.
The plan emphasizes strengthening the bloc's capacity for testing counter-drone systems. Furthermore, it proposes expanding existing registration requirements to enhance oversight. A notable development will be the introduction of an 'EU Trusted Drone' label, designed to identify equipment that meets stringent security standards.
Additionally, the Commission intends to issue a call for countries willing to collaborate on the public procurement of advanced counter-drone systems. This collaborative effort seeks to pool resources and expertise across the European Union to create a more robust and unified defense against potential drone threats.
