Drone threat in European skies.
The brazen airspace violations have exposed severe European vulnerabilities. From Estonia to Denmark and Belgium to Germany, these are not isolated incidents but part of a sustained adversarial campaign that targets critical entities and infrastructure – both in frontline states and deeper inside our continent.
Although these incursions pose serious security threats and inflict economic harm, the EU still lacks cost-effective and scalable solutions to protect against such drone incursions.
How we help
To close this gap, Rasmussen Global, the political advisory of former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has launched Dronetex – the drone defence coalition.
It brings together leading European and Ukrainian defence tech firms offering combat-proven counter-drone capabilities. It offers a bottom-up, industry-driven approach to deploy solutions at speed and scale, complementing existing initiatives at multilateral (EU and NATO) and national level.
Layers
Layer 1 – Early detection
Acoustic sensors and radar systems to early detect the threat early.
Layer 2 – Continuous monitoring and tracking
Detection, confirmation and classification of potential threats including through optical sensors and ISR capabilities.
Layer 3 – Interception
Neutralisation through an interceptor drone.
Layer 4 – Integrated platform
The entire multi-layered system is supported by a mobile counter-UAS platform.
The Dronetex initiative rests on a central premise: a credible, good-enough system deployed now is better than an exquisite solution delivered too late.
We are keen to hear from companies, experts and practitioners working on these challenges, especially those connected to Ukraine’s operational experience and defence innovation ecosystem, as we look to augment our sensors, effectors and overall system architecture to meet the full spectrum of evolving drone threats.
