EU Commission Unveils Plan to Counter Threats from Malicious Drones

The European Commission has presented an action plan to address the growing threats from malicious drones, aiming for a unified European approach. The plan focuses on three pillars: safety and accountability through operator identification, strengthening the ability to test anti-drone systems with the creation of a European Centre of Excellence, and enhancing dialogue with the industry through forums. It will also propose a “Drone Security Package” to revise existing rules, create guidelines to protect critical infrastructure, and promote the “EU Trusted Drone” label for safe equipment.
