NATO Establishes Marketplace for Counter-Drone Systems

NATO has launched a new Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) marketplace, part of its 'Drone Edge' program, to expedite the procurement of defense technologies for Allied nations. The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) has already selected 16 solutions from five companies, including France's Alta Ares, for static, transportable, and mobile defense configurations. This initiative aims to provide faster access to solutions for urgent operational requirements, enhancing protection against aerial threats.
