EU Counter-Drone Action Plan: What's Actually in It
The European Commission published its drone and counter-drone action plan. What it contains, what it lacks, and what it means for European C-UAS procurement.
Analytical pieces connecting multiple developments across the C-UAS landscape.
The European Commission published its drone and counter-drone action plan. What it contains, what it lacks, and what it means for European C-UAS procurement.
The FCC added foreign-made drones to the Covered List. What this means for the drone threat landscape, the C-UAS industry, and organisations that rely on Chinese drone platforms.
Commercial counter-drone is no longer a niche. SAFER SKIES, World Cup funding, airport incidents, and critical infrastructure threats are creating a market that could dwarf military C-UAS.
European airport drone incursions are accelerating. Why airports are uniquely hard to defend, what is being done, and why the gap between threat and response remains wide.
Drone swarms are the industry's favourite fear. What is technically real, what is marketing fiction, and why current C-UAS systems are not designed for the problem.
Comparing C-UAS command and control platforms. Lattice vs DroneSentry-C2 vs Dedrone vs FAAD C2. Why C2 matters more than hardware and what makes a good platform.
Operational C-UAS lessons from Ukraine. EW dominance, kinetic limits, the classification gap, and why adaptation cycles measured in weeks break procurement models built for years.
The disconnect between detection capability and legal mitigation authority. What the authority gap means for procurement decisions and why detection-only may be your only legal option.
The Pentagon consolidates counter-drone under JIATF-401. What this means for vendors, procurement officers, and the fragmented C-UAS acquisition landscape.
Directed energy weapons for counter-drone. The physics of lasers and microwaves, who is building what, and why the technology is not yet the game-changer vendors claim.
The SAFER SKIES Act signed into law. What it authorises, what it does not, and what practitioners need to know about expanded counter-drone authority.
