In a Linkedin post, INTERPOL’s Christopher Church reports the agency is preparing the next phases of testing for the Project COURAGEOUS² counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) assessment programme.
The project aims to develop a global standard for how C-UAS systems are tested before they are deployed, with a focus on law enforcement and public safety applications. The original COURAGEOUS project laid the groundwork for a standard test methodology. COURAGEOUS² extends this with a consortium of seven law enforcement agencies, five universities and four private entities, funded by the European Union.
Validation trials cover Belgium, Greece and Spain.

The Fall issue of the 2026 Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is now available. The guide is the world’s only comprehensive, continually updated directory of global C-UAS companies and systems. It itemises over 1,000 C-UAS products and services with performance details, company sales and partnerships arrangements. It is updated every month and broken down into niche sub-sectors (net-capture, missiles, intercept drones, detectors etc) to give C-UAS procurement and industry personnel a unique perspective of global C-UAS technical capabilities and market positions. It is available in word, PDF and excel formats and Unmanned Airspace readers are eligible for a range of discounts.
