This week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also announced the creation of a drone alliance with Ukraine, deepening cooperation with the war-torn country on all things unmanned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2025\/09\/10\/poland-says-it-shot-down-russian-drones-that-violated-its-airspace\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2025\/09\/10\/poland-says-it-shot-down-russian-drones-that-violated-its-airspace\/\">most recent drone incursion took place this week<\/a> in Poland, where allied fighter jets were scrambled when over a dozen Russian drones entered Polish airspace. Several were shot down, the Polish military said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oper said the envisioned Baltic drone wall\u2019s layered sensor and interception network could have offered faster, cheaper and more effective responses by detecting threats earlier and streamlining decision-making on countermeasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But so far, the project is a logical and affordable alternative only on paper. Companies also acknowledge the level of difficulty that comes with fully securing hundreds of territory bordering Russia against potential drone incursions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA project of this size, for example, will require tens of thousands of sensors to be placed alongside our territories \u2013 what we are facing is not a problem of producing these quantities, as that is achievable, it is more so how do we share and integrate all the information between all of the systems involved?\u201d Leet Rauno Lember, chief operating officer of Marduk Technologies, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Estonia-based company is a key contributor to the project, in part developing and testing its electro-optical counter-drone system, the Marduk Shark, which can detect and target hostile drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lember added that another interrogation point regards who would be responsible for actually destroying incoming drones, depending on the different altitudes at which they fly. For example, as things stand, if an adversary drone is detected flying at altitudes of 300 meters, the Estonian Air Force is required to take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The envisioned wall is slated to include at least five layers composed in part of acoustic detection sensors, mobile camera systems, drone interceptors and effectors, radars, and jammers \u2014feeding data into a central system for real-time threat awareness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An emerging project in the Baltics offers lessons learned, according industry
