The future of proposed EU “flagship” defence projects - including a counter-drone system initially called a drone wall - is in doubt as European Union leaders plan to snub a call to endorse them at a summit in Brussels next week.

Data sharing between the Joint Interagency Task Force 401 and the Golden Dome project will focus on larger drones, Brig. Gen. Matt Ross said.

Rheinmetall has demonstrated its counter-drone systems during a Finnish Armed Forces exercise, reflecting Europe’s growing focus on small UAV air defense.

Quadcopters, electromagnetic rifles and an AI-powered navigation system were among the wares displayed at one of Africa and the Middle East’s biggest arms expos, as defence companies jostle to break into regional markets increasingly defined by drone warfare.

DHS is well-equipped to deal with larger drone threats, Ross added, but his task force focuses on drones that weigh under 55 lbs. Not only is it inefficient to shoot them down with missiles, but the assumption is they’ll be used over populated areas that would take too much collateral damage with that strategy.

Pilots of the 39th Separate Coastal Defense Brigade, together with fighters from the 34th Venom Unmanned Systems Center, destroyed the Russian invaders' Strila-10 air defense system and 2S9 Nona-S self-propelled artillery unit in the Kherson region.

Recent US weapons packages to Taiwan have largely been asymmetric capabilities, but Taiwan needs more advanced systems as well, an official said.
