CNAB: Otopeni and Băneasa airports will be protected with anti-drone systems. The market consultation for costs has begun.

The National Company Bucharest Airports (CNAB) announced that the "Henri Coandă" Otopeni and Băneasa airports will benefit from integrated systems for detection, identification, tracking, and neutralization of drones (C-UAS), which will operate continuously.

Currently, CNAB has launched a market consultation to assess the maintenance and repair costs of these systems during the 24-month warranty period and post-warranty. The C-UAS systems will need to operate effectively in any weather conditions and ensure the surveillance of the airspace around the airports. These equipment will include non-kinetic and kinetic neutralization methods.

The consultation ends on September 9, in the context of recent incidents involving drones at European airports, including an incident related to Russia at Leipzig/Halle Airport, described by German authorities as a "hybrid attack scenario".
