Radical changes and evolution in drone technology have produced low-cost techniques for its weaponisation, including open-source drone swarms. Such technology is emerging as a low-risk high-impact attack tactic by non-state actors, posing a threat to public spaces. Law enforcement authorities need appropriate tools to prevent and detect such risks. The EU-funded PRESERVE project will produce four key products, combined with certified trainings, to unlock such capabilities for police authorities. The risk of weaponised consumer drone swarms will be tackled by integrating multi-sensory and online data sources to support decision-making, as well as allowing the secure exchange of cross-border intelligence. The project will strive to better understand the relevant modus operandi and develop harmonised operational procedures for effective cooperation and preparedness.
