Denmark’s Ministry of Defence has allocated 2.1 billion kroner
(approximately $330 million or 561 million manats) to establish
resources for detecting and combating unidentified drones,
Azernews reports.
According to a statement by the ministry, the decision was made
based on a proposal from the Danish Armed Forces Command.
In total, 3.8 billion kroner (around $590 million) will be spent
between 2025 and 2033 on reserves and new initiatives. The
statement noted that, given the current security environment, the
Chief of Defence has recommended acquiring counter-drone systems as
well as decision-support systems based on artificial
intelligence.
“The recent incidents involving unmanned aerial vehicles have
increased the Danish Armed Forces’ need to strengthen their
counter-drone capabilities. Therefore, I am pleased that Denmark is
allocating funds for the acquisition of vital resources to enhance
its ability to combat drones. This demonstrates that Denmark is
reinforcing its efforts to counter this type of hybrid threat,”
said Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
