Only four months to go until the start of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, the effectiveness of drone defence systems is in the spotlight. Although the French government has reportedly invested significant resources into Olympic security, particularly drone defence systems, considerable challenges remain. With 300,000 spectators expected to attend the Opening Ceremony, the potential threat of drones and anti-drone countermeasures have become a priority for security management.
Challenges of Drone Defence System:
- Huge number of privately owned drones: there are approximately 3 million drones in France, most of which are privately owned. The armed forces and the government are struggling to stop any potentially malicious vehicles from flying.
- Delays in the delivery of anti-drone systems: the delivery of six Parade modular anti-drone protection systems, originally scheduled for June 2023, has been delayed for several months.
- Unsatisfactory anti-drone exercises: The French Air Force organised the first large-scale tests of the Parade systems in mid-March in Villa Coublay, near Paris, but the results were clearly not convincing to all participants.
Large events or gatherings are particularly crowded, and flying drones, whether for filming or for other purposes, pose a major safety risk.
