EU Launches COURAGEOUS²: A Bold Step in Counter-Drone Technology
The European Union has officially launched the COURAGEOUS² project, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing the growing challenges posed by unmanned aerial systems (UAS), commonly known as drones. Building on the success of its predecessor, the COURAGEOUS project, this new phase seeks to enhance the safety and security of European airspace through innovative counter-drone solutions
April 2026: COURAGEOUS 2 Greece Trials
COURAGEOUS in Athens: Greece Hosts the First Counter-Drone Field Trial
The Greek capital became the opening testbed for the EU-funded COURAGEOUS project when the first of three planned field trials was held in Athens in spring 2026. Conducted in partnership with KEMEA (the Center for Security Studies, Greece's national security research body), the trial focused on a scenario central to modern public safety: protecting crowded public spaces and events from unauthorized drone incursions.
As part of the exercise, a range of counter-UAS (C-UAS) technologies were put through their paces against a realistic threat scenario, with vendors tasked not just with detecting a rogue drone but locating and identifying both the aircraft and its pilot — a harder technical challenge that reflects real operational needs for law enforcement. Alongside the technical validation, the Athens event included a user engagement component, with workshops designed to build awareness among the broader end-user community — police, security agencies, and event organizers — who would ultimately rely on this technology.
