As drone activity escalates across European and NATO airspace, Rasmussen Global has launched Dronetex – the Drone Defence Coalition: an industry-led initiative to accelerate Europe’s readiness against unmanned aerial threats.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Founder of Rasmussen Global, stated:
“Building on our early support for the drone wall, I have decided to launch Dronetex – the Drone Defence Coalition: an industry-led platform bringing together leading and innovative European and Ukrainian defence tech companies.
Our aim is to build a modular, cost-effective, and multi-layered interoperable network — not a static wall — drawing on Ukrainian battlefield experience, European innovation, and cooperation with the European Commission and other partners.
We expect to field an operational prototype in early 2026, with further capabilities to follow. A live demonstration will be organised to showcase its performance.
Europe needs readiness, speed, and the operationalisation of drone defence as soon as possible. The threat is already real.”
The Dronetex Coalition currently includes: DefSecIntel, Quantum Systems, Weibel, and UMO — with further members expected to join as the initiative expands.
Dronetex represents a decisive step toward a European-led, operational drone defence architecture: scalable, connected, and built for the realities of modern warfare.
