Video: NCIA is empowering NATO's naval forces to counter the threat of drones at sea

Drones have become a cheap and integral part of modern warfare. The danger posed by commercial, disposable Unmanned Aerial Systems is a transformative trend in military operations, but NCIA is helping NATO’s Allies to rapidly adopt technological solutions, to detect, and neutralize, these growing threats.

Through the work of its Joint Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance teams, NCIA is at the forefront of developing and deploying NATO’s technical capabilities in these areas. In this video, join our Reporter aboard the Cantabria, the second largest vessel in the Spanish Navy, for Exercise Dynamic Messenger 2025.

See first-hand how NCIA’s cutting-edge sensors and detection systems augment the situational awareness of NATO’s Naval Commanders, enabling them to effectively counter the drone threat while at sea.
