Heute announced Austria's adoption of a new strategy to protect against UAVs

Austria has approved a new concept of protection against drones, showing its readiness for a potential emergency situation. The Heute newspaper writes about this on October 29.

"The new anti-drone strategy is aimed at further developing existing measures in line with the common European security architecture. The goal is to adapt existing and future protection measures to changing threat scenarios," the article says.

The foundation for the implementation of the new concept has already been laid. For example, an unmanned vehicle detection system was installed at Vienna-Schwacht Airport. In addition, a new unit was formed in the Austrian Armed Forces, which is part of the Directorate of Special Forces, the specialized drone protection center.

It clarifies that successful compliance with the strategy requires more accurate situational awareness and constant analysis of threat data. In addition, it is planned to hold a joint forum with the participation of the Ministries of Internal Affairs, Defense and Infrastructure.
