The Drone Wall: Technology, Politics, and European Defense

We look at the technology and politics behind what has become known as the drone wall. Following a range of Russian drone incursions into Poland and other EU countries, policymakers are looking for answers. The European Commission has set out to build an anti-drone system that is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2027. We assess border security and – given the recent drone activity within Europe, including at airports and power plants – ways to prevent domestic risks.
