- Denmark’s armed forces are preparing to deploy a new AI-powered system designed to detect and shoot down genuine drone threats quickly.
- Defense company Terma demonstrated the technology and brought its radar to an undisclosed harbor in Jutland.
- The effort follows reports that unknown drones flew unhindered in Danish airspace last year.
At a harbor somewhere in Jutland, defense company Terma has brought its own radar for a demonstration of a system designed to close what the article describes as a deeply troubling gap in Denmark’s defenses.
The location remains undisclosed for security reasons. The new system uses artificial intelligence to help the armed forces identify real threats and respond quickly, including by shooting down hostile drones.
The push follows reports from Denmark’s armed forces that unknown drones flew unhindered through Danish airspace last year. The technology demonstration presents the system as an answer to the alarm that followed those incidents, while other related reports describe concerns about drones using the ordinary mobile network and the risk of power disruptions if key infrastructure nodes are hit.
