    EU Commission to propose new anti-drone system be fully operational by end-2027

    Overview of the European Drone Defence Initiative

    BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Commission will propose on Thursday that a new counter-drone initiative should be fully functional by the end of 2027, according to a document seen by Reuters.

    Background and Context

    Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said last month it was time for Europe to build a "drone wall" to protect its eastern flank, hours after some 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace.

    Proposed Timeline and Goals

    The concept has since morphed into a broader "European Drone Defence Initiative" including a continent-wide web of anti-drone systems in an effort to win support from EU capitals.

    Implications for EU Security

    The proposal, set to be included in a defence policy "roadmap" to be presented on Thursday, will aim for the new anti-drone capabilities to reach initial capacity by the end of next year and become fully operational by the end of 2027, according to a draft of the document.
