NATO is looking for an answer to the fiber-optic drone problem

NATO has issued an innovation challenge aimed at countering fiber-optic tethered FPV drones. NATO calls tethered drones “one of today’s most urgent battlefield threats.” Released on April 28, the call seeks cutting-edge solutions to neutralize these drones, which are notoriously resistant to traditional electronic warfare techniques.

The challenge is being run by NATO’s Allied Command Transformation (ACT) Innovation Hub and the Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC). It marks the sixteenth such call since the program’s launch in 2017, with this iteration focused specifically on the growing threat of tethered drones used in frontline conflicts, primarily in Ukraine.
