Building a common understanding of the effectiveness of counter-UAS solutions
The nature of modern warfare is rapidly evolving, marked by the increasing prevalence of hybrid threats that blend conventional, irregular, and cyber tactics. This shifting landscape demands that both individual nations and the European Union develop adaptive and resilient defence capabilities. Among the emerging domains of concern are unmanned aerial systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, which are being widely used for intelligence gathering, smuggling, disruption of critical infrastructure, and even targeted attacks.
European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) pinpoints the misuse of drones as one of the most important challenges for 2030. The growing accessibility and sophistication of drone technology necessitate coordinated defence strategies at both national and EU levels, including regulatory frameworks, rapid detection and neutralisation systems, and cross-border operational cooperation. Without a focused and unified response, the threat landscape will continue to outpace existing security measures. The project COURAGEOUS2 aims to address this need.
COURAGEOUS2 project assists European Comission in implementing forward-thinking strategies to mitigate potential threats posed by drones through testing counter-drone system effectiveness, regulatory analysis, stakeholder engagement and integration of technology. The project promotes cooperation between policymakers, industry experts, and law enforcement to encourage innovation, enhance operational practices, and strengthen Europe’s capacity to effectively and precisely tackle the growing challenges posed by drones. The intended impact includes:

Dołączyłem do Platformy w listopadzie 2017 roku. Przez długi czas byłem odpowiedzialny za realizację krajowych i europejskich projektów związanych z bezpieczeństwem. W związku z dynamicznym rozwojem PPBW oraz powstaniem Działu Komunikacji, zająłem się promocją i upowszechnianiem rezultatów naszych działań.
Obecnie koordynuję komunikację projektów finansowanych przez UE z obszaru bezpieczeństwa. Do moich obowiązków należy również zarządzanie kanałami online PPBW oraz wspieranie zespołu w bieżących pracach.
Posiadam szeroki zakres umiejętności, który pozwala mi realizować różnorodne zadania, takie jak tworzenie treści (teksty, zdjęcia, wideo), planowanie strategii komunikacyjnych i procesów, budowanie społeczności i relacji, a także administrowanie platformami online.
I’ve been working at PPHS since November 2017. For a long time, I was responsible for implementing both international and national security projects. As PPHS developed and the Communication Department was established, I was promoted to a role focused entirely on communication.
I currently serve as the Communication & Dissemination Manager for EU-funded security projects. My responsibilities also include managing the online channels run by PPHS and supporting the team with ongoing tasks.
I have a broad set of skills, enabling me to handle a variety of tasks such as content creation (texts, photos, videos), communication and process planning, community and relationship building, as well as managing online platforms.
