The European Commission is evaluating a new counter-drone initiative aimed at safeguarding European Union airspace against potential threats. This initiative seeks to enhance border security through advanced drone technology, following multiple drone incursions reported in various EU and NATO member states recently.

The initiative, detailed in a defense policy roadmap presented on Thursday, targets the attainment of initial anti-drone capabilities by the end of next year. Full operational capacity is projected by the end of 2027, as per a draft of the proposal.

The proposal will be submitted to EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas, European Commission Executive Vice President for Security Henna Virkkunen, and European Commissioner for Defence Andrius Kubilius.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen previously emphasized the need for Europe to establish a "drone wall" to protect its eastern borders, in response to recent airspace violations involving Russian drones.

The initiative has expanded into a comprehensive "European Drone Defence Initiative," which aims to create a continent-wide network of anti-drone systems to gain support from EU member states.

This drone initiative is part of several key EU projects designed to bolster the bloc's defenses against potential threats from Russia, amidst its ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

In parallel, NATO has launched a new mission, enhancing its forces along its eastern border as it addresses the drone threat. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte highlighted ongoing tests of integrated systems designed to detect, track, and neutralize aerial threats in the region.

Despite these efforts, there is some skepticism from EU countries regarding the initiative's overlap with NATO's responsibilities. Kallas has clarified that the EU's efforts are intended to complement, not duplicate, NATO's activities.
