Promoting the commercial operation of drones
6 demands for effective and efficient drone detection and countermeasures
Berlin, 16.12.2025 (PresseBox) - UAV DACH is committed to promoting the safe, responsible, and economically sustainable Commercial operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in Europe. Unmanned aviation is a key driver of innovation – however, its benefits for industry, authorities, and society can only be fully realized if trust, legal clarity, and a high level of safety in lower airspace are guaranteed.
UAV DACH defines "lower airspace" as the airspace relevant to commercial drone operations and in which the visibility of all airspace participants cannot be reliably guaranteed at present.
This airspace offers great potential for applications in the public interest. These include services for security, supply, and inspection.
However, illegal and abusive drone use endangers people, critical infrastructure, and public support for commercial applications. The association therefore supports political and social measures for the effective detection and prevention of illegal drone use – in accordance with fundamental rights, data protection, and an innovation- and business-friendly regulatory framework.
A unified air situation picture, powerful detection and countermeasures capabilities, clear responsibilities, and interoperable, European-harmonized standards are not only a response to misuse, but also a central basis for scaling commercial unmanned aviation.
Against this background, UAV DACH has formulated the following six demands as a contribution to effective and efficient drone detection and countermeasures.
These create a framework for the rapid growth of commercial drone applications in the coming years, while at the same time increasing public acceptance and safety in lower airspace.
