Non-cooperative drones meetings

The Commission has been supporting Member states in addressing the threats from non-cooperative drones since 2016 and many more relevant initiatives have been developed in different European institutions, agencies, Member states, international organizations and partner third countries since then. The next meeting for Member states and partners is scheduled to take place in Brussels on 28 November 2022, in hybrid format.

To tie together all the counter-drone activities in the Commission, it will adopt a counter-UAS package in 2023 outlining the EU’s future policy in this field. This will be announced through a dedicated Commission Communication that will describe the upcoming work leading towards EU counter-drone guidelines and even examine the need for legislative measures. Support activities will include a handbook on the protection of critical infrastructure and public spaces, provide technical guidance on the physical protection of infrastructure against drones and establish an enlarged technical expert group on voluntary standards to cover counter-drone solutions.
