Key findings
The COURAGEOUS project, funded under the EU’s Internal Security Fund, was launched to address the growing security challenge posed by unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones. With the increasing accessibility of drones, law enforcement and security agencies face complex tasks in monitoring, detecting, and mitigating threats in low airspace. The project recognized the need for a unified, standardized approach to assess and compare the effectiveness of C-UAS systems to support decision-making at national and EU levels.
