Europe faces a new and unprecedented threat: drones. From hobbyist UAVs disrupting airports to coordinated swarms testing border security, unmanned aerial systems are reshaping the rules of modern defence. Drone Wall: Building a Continent-Wide Defence explores the bold vision of a Europe-wide "drone wall" - a network of sensors, interceptors, and command systems designed to protect European skies.
From the author of Tactical Robotics: The Age of Drone Warfare, USA vs Venezuela War: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?, and COTS and the Battlefield: The Rise of Off-the-Shelf Military Robotics, this book takes readers behind the scenes of policy, technology, and human experience. It examines the anatomy of drones and counter-drone systems, the industrial and economic challenges of building a shared defence, the legal and ethical frameworks that constrain action, and the human stories of operators, civil responders, and public perception. It also looks ahead to AI, autonomous systems, arms control, and norms shaping Europe's strategic future.
Accessible to specialists and general readers alike, Drone Wall provides a comprehensive, human-centered view of one of Europe's most pressing security initiatives. Whether you are a policymaker, defence professional, or curious reader, it explains how technology, law, and human judgement converge to protect Europe's skies while preserving ethics, accountability, and peace.
