BLUF

Germany is granting police authority to neutralise rogue drones via shooting, lasers, or jamming amid rising airspace disruptions, particularly near airports. A dedicated counter-drone unit, with military support, will deal with the unmanned aerial threats.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Understand emerging legal frameworks enabling security forces to engage drones within national airspace and their implications for civil-military operations.
  • Analyse counter-drone technologies and tactics demonstrated in Germany, including jamming, lasers, nets, and robotic support.
  • Evaluate risk management strategies for drone mitigation in urban or densely populated areas and their relevance to ADF/RAAF operations.
