EU planning mass drone production

The EU published an Action Plan on Drone and Counter-Drone Security on Wednesday that advocates massive expansion of drone production and development of an anti-drone defense system. Magnus Brunner, commissioner for internal affairs and migration, said, “With today’s Action Plan, we have more arrows in our quiver to counter threats to our security and use this technology as an advantage, including by launching a new Counter-Drone Center of Excellence, establishing an EU Drone Incident Platform and spending €400 million on drone and counter-drone technology.” Step by step, the EU is developing sophisticated joint military capabilities.
