Weaknesses in the Procurement of Drone Protection Systems
December 2, 2025
The Audit Service criticizes the Police for failing to secure critical infrastructure from drones due to two unsuccessful attempts to procure anti-drone systems. Despite an investment of €1.8 million, the project remains incomplete after seven years. The report points to inadequacies in staff training and flawed procurement processes, along with the exclusion of capable companies. A lack of systematic monitoring led to significant delays and failures in implementation. Ultimately, the project failed to meet national security needs.
