Countering UAV Threats

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly becoming tools for espionage, disruption, and targeted attacks, posing significant risks to national security. NATO’s border nations, often on the frontline of emerging threats, urgently need advanced counter-drone technologies to protect their airspace, critical infrastructure, and citizens. 


Your challenge is to design innovative solutions for detecting, tracking, and neutralizing hostile UAVs. 


This could include AI-driven threat identification systems, electronic warfare tools, physical drone interception technologies, or comprehensive frameworks for real-time decision-making. 


How will your innovation help secure our borders against evolving UAV threats?
