Practical information

Background

The Action plan presents practical solutions for improved prevention of incidents, detection of drones, response to malicious drone activities and strengthening Europe’s defence readiness against drone threats. 

It represents an ambitious blueprint for stronger EU cooperation and solidarity, responding to the calls from EU Member States and the European Parliament for a united EU approach against threats posed by malicious drones. It focuses on the civilian internal security dimension, while complementing and supporting the work carried out in the defence domain by the Commission, and reinforcing civil-military synergies.

In addition, the Action Plan contributes to the development of a competitive European drone market, unlocking the potential for innovation, growth and job creation across this important sector.
