Description

Following the spate of drone incursions that occurred last month, the European Commission came out with their bold plan to unveil a drone wall. Last week, this effort was rebranded as the European Drone Defense Initiative. Why was the rebrand necessary and why does it need to be installed to protect Europe? To discuss this, we are joined by Geert de Cubber, head of the robotics unit at the Belgian Royal Military Academy.
