Army to Deploy Advanced Defense Systems Against Rising Drone Threat
The military is set to deploy advanced defense systems to tackle the rising threat of drones. This move comes in response to an increase in drone sightings, including mini-drones detected over military areas and near troop exercises this year.
The introduction of these systems will not only bolster military defense but also support civilian authorities. A unit has already tested a defense system during a field trial last summer, providing valuable insights for its upcoming deployment.
The selection process for these systems is underway, involving multiple institutions and authorities. Technical, military, and economic evaluation bodies are working together to choose the most suitable systems. Additionally, regulatory authorities, such as those overseeing cross-border financial activities, are applying objective, risk-based criteria to ensure the selected systems meet necessary standards.
The next step is to finalize the selection of these defense systems, enabling their introduction as soon as possible. The military aims to enhance its capabilities to counter drone threats, both in military contexts and to support civilian authorities.
