Mission Statement

Project COURAGEOUS² is committed to strengthening Europe's security landscape by advancing the standardization and effectiveness of counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). Building on the foundations of the original COURAGEOUS project, we work closely with EU Law Enforcement Agencies and international partners to develop robust methodologies for assessing and enhancing counter-drone solutions.

Through rigorous testing, regulatory analysis, stakeholder engagement, and technology integration, we strive to support the European Commission DG HOME in implementing forward-thinking strategies to mitigate potential threats posed by drones. By fostering collaboration among policymakers, industry leaders, and law enforcement, COURAGEOUS² seeks to drive innovation, improve operational standards, and reinforce Europe’s ability to counter evolving drone threats with precision and efficiency
