La Unión Europea ha lanzado el programa conjunto JEY- CUAS “Joint European sYstem for Countering Umanned Aerial Systems”, para el desarrollo de sistemas capaces de hacer frente a la amenaza creciente de los Micro y Mini drones, en el ámbito de la seguridad y defensa de los países, así como para su empleo en operaciones militares. El programa involucra a 14 países y prevé disponer de una solución altamente modular y flexible en un plazo máximo de 24 meses.
The European Commission has launched the JEY-CUAS – “Joint European sYstem for Countering Unmanned Aerial Systems” programme, involving 14 countries and 38 entities to pave the way for the development of a joint European Counter Unmanned Air Systems capability.
The value of the programme is EUR 15,003,473 with the EU providing a maximum contribution of EUR 13,500,000.00.
According to the Commission:
“JEY-CUAS will advance technologies at system and sub-system level to develop a new generation C-UAS system based on a modular and flexible plug’n’play architecture to address the emerging challenge of micro and mini drones increasingly used for defence purposes. The solution will contribute to an improvement of the situational awareness and reaction engagement to overcome the growing resilience of UASs to first generation C-UAS systems keep up with new LSS (Low, Small, Slow) aerial threats and reduce the minimum reaction time.
