NATO creates an online catalog of anti-drone systems to neutralize Russian attacks

NATO has launched an online catalog for advanced anti-drone systems to counter Russian threats, streamlining procurement processes for member states. This digital platform allows defense ministries to quickly acquire or lease cutting-edge technology against drones, reducing bureaucratic delays significantly. The initiative responds to the rising number of drone incursions and hybrid attacks on critical European infrastructure. Technologies available include radars, cameras, electronic interference systems, and interceptor drones. The program, part of the Drone Edge initiative, aims to enhance security at civilian sites like airports and energy facilities, with a commitment of over $40 billion for anti-drone capabilities in the next five years.
