Counter-UAS CLASS II Tactical Challenge

The 'Counter-UAS CLASS II Tactical Challenge' is a Dutch Ministry of Defense (Ministerie van Defensie) contract valued at 24 million EUR for developing or procuring counter-unmanned aircraft systems targeting NATO Class II medium-sized tactical UAS threats, which typically feature greater endurance and payload capacities than smaller classes. This initiative aligns with global efforts to counter evolving drone threats through layered defenses, emphasizing detection, tracking, and neutralization technologies for force protection in operational environments. It supports rapid deployment of mature (TRL 6+) solutions interoperable with NATO standards.
