UE suplimentează cu 130 de milioane de euro sumele alocate pentru sisteme antidrone. Ce noi oportunități de finanțare apar pentru România

The European Union has allocated an additional 130 million euros for member states to enhance drone defense technologies. This funding comes at a time when border security and critical infrastructure protection are top priorities. For Romania, located at the EU's external border and near the Ukraine conflict, this financial support presents opportunities for projects and companies in surveillance and drone systems. The total funding for surveillance and drone technologies now exceeds 500 million euros. The initiative aims to improve capabilities for detecting and responding to unauthorized drone use. However, specific allocations for Romania are not detailed, and opportunities depend on available funding mechanisms and eligible projects. This funding is part of a broader EU effort to develop drone capabilities, including the establishment of an anti-drone excellence center to foster innovation in this sector.
