However, a fresh wave of incursions linked to wars in Ukraine and the Middle East has sent those concerns into overdrive.<\/div><div>Technological advances recently unveiled in response have included a gun-shaped tool from U.S. firm Dedrone that can jam drones, and a Boeing (BA.N)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> autonomous &#8216;wingman&#8217; that flies with fighter jets, carrying counter-drone jammers and weapons in an interchangeable nose.<\/div><div>The field is drawing billions of dollars of investment, moving well beyond military use to sectors including energy, shipping, data \u200bcentres, hotels and airports.<\/div><div>Avinor, which owns and operates 43 airports across Norway, is one company to have already installed a drone detection system at its operations to address the &#8220;disruptions \u200band delays&#8221; civilian drone incursions have caused to air traffic.<\/div><div>Reuters spoke to half a dozen executives at counterdrone firms who described a sharp rise \u2060in demand from governments, airports and civil infrastructure operators.<\/div><div>&#8220;There is a direct effect of a lot of people calling us,&#8221; said Siete Hamminga, the CEO of RobinRadar, a Netherlands-based counter-drone company whose \u200btechnology grew out of research into bird strikes affecting planes.<\/div><h2>COUNTER-DRONE MARKET GROWING AT AROUND 20% A YEAR<\/h2><div>Hybrid warfare tactics in Europe and the Middle East have highlighted the need to protect economic and \u200bcivil bases like ports, oil fields and airports.<\/div><div>Drone strikes at Dubai airport, incursions in Baltic states, debris fires caused by drone interceptions at the Fujairah Oil Zone, and suspected drone alerts at airports in Munich and Copenhagen have all caused disruption in the last year.<\/div><div>Some European airport authorities told Reuters they were looking to beef up their use of counter-drone technology.<\/div><div>Ash-Alexander Cooper, an executive at Dedrone until June who spoke to Reuters before his exit, said calls \u200bbegan soon after the Iran war started in late February, with people asking for solutions that could be installed &#8220;ASAP&#8221;.<\/div><div>&#8220;I imagine we are one of many companies being asked, after many more governments &#8211; \u200bnot just in the Middle East &#8211; now realise how vulnerable they are, with the extent and nature of the drone threat evolving in real time,&#8221; he said.<\/div><div>Analysts estimate the global counter-drone market to be worth some $3 \u200cbillion to $7 \u2060billion, growing at around 20% each year. A report by MarketsandMarkets estimates it will hit $14.5 billion by 2030 from $4.5 billion now.<\/div><div>Eben Frankenberg, CEO of drone-detecting radar maker Echodyne, said investment in a new plant his company will open this year would multiply its annual capacity to over 30,000 units.<\/div><div>&#8220;In terms of the demand for our radars, we saw well over 100% growth last year, and that isn&#8217;t slowing down,&#8221; he said.<\/div><h2>STRICT RULES OVER CIVILIAN USE OF COUNTER-DRONE TECH<\/h2><div>Despite strong interest, regulatory challenges and questions over safety still limit the roll-out of counter-drone technology outside the military sphere.<\/div><div>Civilian airports have strict \u200brules over what technology they can use against \u200bdrones, and remain largely focused on detection \u2060tools.<\/div><div>Issues such as jamming and GPS interference can disrupt communications and navigation, making such systems unsuitable for use around airports. Nor can you normally use weapons to shoot down drones in a civilian environment.<\/div><div>&#8220;You simply can&#8217;t use so-called kinetic effective means, such as machine guns or similar, near civilian infrastructure,&#8221; \u200ba spokesperson for German radar maker Hensoldt (HAGG.DE)<svg><\/svg><span>, opens new tab<\/span> said.<\/div><div>In terms of deciding how systems that work in a battlefield scenario can be used legally \u200band safely in civilian scenarios, \u2060a lot is in the hands of national authorities.<\/div><div>&#8220;What is allowed is a regulatory question that needs to be answered by the governments,&#8221; said Stephanie Lingemann, head of German drone and AI firm Helsing&#8217;s air division. &#8220;We cannot make the decision.&#8221;<\/div><h2>&#8216;CAT-AND-MOUSE GAME&#8217;<\/h2><div>Meanwhile, drones are multiplying, and getting more sophisticated.<\/div><div>&#8220;It&#8217;s always a cat-and-mouse game,&#8221; said Mike Schut, commercial director at DroneShield, which uses radio frequency sensing in its counterdrone system. &#8220;Somebody creates \u2060a drone, and \u200bwe need to make sure we stay on top.&#8221;<\/div><div>In the wider market, analysts cautioned that ever more sophisticated technology \u200bwas expensive, reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars &#8211; and didn&#8217;t always work.<\/div><div>&#8220;Right now it&#8217;s just panic mode, and everybody is acquiring absolutely every tool they can find in their arsenal to feel like they have a little bit more control,&#8221; said \u200bGreg Falco, a professor at Cornell University.<\/div><div>&#8220;I&#8217;m just seeing so much snake oil.&#8221;<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Joanna Plucinska\" class=\"wp-image-707\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1266d9aabe8a27b50c113173fa1b6e67.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Joanna Plucinska<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Instagram<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Linkedin<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2272\">Exclusive: UK in advanced talks with Nissan over Sunderland plant support, sources say<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2269\">Gulf exporters\u2019 quest to bypass Hormuz will reshape the region<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2267\">Exclusive: Thailand revives $30 bln coast-to-coast corridor to rival Malacca Strait<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drone incursions disrupting airports in Europe and strikes on oil fields in the Middle East are spurring a fast-growing market for radars, jammers and defensive craft to defend airports and infrastructure \u200bagainst new aerial threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2273,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
