EU, Ukraine to hold first Drone Alliance meeting in Brussels
Ukraine and the European Union will hold the first Drone Alliance meeting on Sept. 11 to set out joint steps for developing drone technologies and counter-drone capabilities, Euractiv reported, citing two industry sources.
The European Union and Ukraine are set to hold their first Drone Alliance meeting on September 11 in Brussels, according to Euractiv. The meeting aims to outline joint steps for developing drone technologies and counter-drone capabilities, with European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius and representatives from 19 European and nine Ukrainian companies in the drone industry expected to attend.
The initiative, proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen last year, is seen as a way to accelerate the development of unmanned systems and counter-drone capabilities, particularly in the face of growing threats to member states' airspace. The EU and Ukraine signed a Drone Deal in July, which calls for jointly applying Ukraine's battlefield experience and expanding drone production in Europe.
