What Ukraine is teaching Europe about the next generation of drone threats

The war in Ukraine has transformed how unmanned technology is developed, adapted and used. Drones are becoming more capable, while new methods of electronic warfare, autonomous operation and Counter-UAS continue to emerge. For Europe's security community, the question is whether existing protection systems can keep pace with a threat landscape that is changing faster than ever.

When GNSS can no longer be trusted

Modern society depends on satellite navigation far more than most people realise. Aircraft, vessels, drones and critical systems rely on signals that can be disrupted or manipulated, sometimes without operators immediately recognising the problem. As GNSS interference becomes a growing concern in Europe, authorities are being forced to ask how prepared they really are.

When drones become tools for organised crime

Drones are giving criminal networks new ways to operate, from smuggling contraband into prisons to monitoring sensitive locations. For law enforcement, the technology presents challenges that traditional policing methods were not designed to address. But the same drones used to commit crimes may also contain valuable evidence that helps investigators identify those responsible.

The security threat that doesn’t need a ticket

Thousands of spectators, extensive security arrangements and carefully controlled entrances. Major international events invest heavily in protecting people on the ground, but an unidentified drone can approach without passing a single checkpoint. As unmanned technology becomes more accessible, authorities are being forced to rethink how the world's biggest events are protected.

A drone above critical infrastructure. Who responds?

An unidentified drone appears near a power station. Security personnel can detect it, but determining who is operating it, what it is doing and whether it poses a threat is far more complicated. Across Europe, authorities and infrastructure operators are facing a growing challenge: Who takes responsibility when a potential threat comes from above?

Droner kan erstatte helikopteret – men ikke på alle oppdrag

Kraftlinjer, steinfyllingsdammer, vindturbiner, rørgater og miljøkartlegging stiller helt forskjellige krav. For energibransjen ligger gevinsten i å forstå hvilke oppgaver dronen kan overta, hvilke den kan gjøre bedre – og når en annen metode fortsatt er riktig.
