Swiss Army to Bolster Drone Defenses After Sightings
The Swiss Army is making it harder for drones to fly near important military places.
They are doing this because more drones have been seen recently, and they want to protect their military bases.
The government has told armasuisse, an organization that buys supplies for defense, to get new anti-drone systems.
These systems were tested this past summer and worked well.
This means the Swiss Army will be able to better protect itself from drones.
Swiss Army is enhancing its anti-drone defense systems.
The decision follows an increase in drone sightings in Europe.
Armasuisse is tasked with procuring the new systems.
Field trials of the systems were successful this summer.
The aim is to safeguard military infrastructure.
