Dutch companies I-SEC and ForcePro have announced a partnership to supply anti-drone systems to the European Union, according to a joint statement on April 13, 2026. The collaboration aims to provide integrated counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAV) solutions to EU member states and institutions, addressing growing security concerns over drone incursions at critical infrastructure and public events.
The partnership comes amid broader EU efforts to enhance security and resilience against emerging threats. The European Union has been actively working on strengthening its pharmaceutical supply chains, as seen in the April 12 policy paper calling for coordinated stockpiling and market reforms to prevent medicine shortages. While that paper focused on health security, the I-SEC and ForcePro deal targets physical security, reflecting the EU's multi-sector approach to crisis preparedness.
I-SEC, a specialist in security systems integration, and ForcePro, a developer of electronic warfare and drone detection technologies, will combine their expertise to offer a comprehensive C-UAV package. The systems are expected to include radar detection, radio-frequency jamming, and kinetic interception capabilities. The companies stated that the partnership will allow them to respond to EU tenders for anti-drone equipment more effectively.
The announcement follows recent regulatory developments at the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which on April 8 proposed stricter veterinary medicine disposal rules and enhanced safety monitoring. While those proposals target environmental and animal health, they underscore the EU's broader push for regulatory oversight across sectors. The I-SEC and ForcePro partnership aligns with this trend by offering standardized security solutions that could be procured through EU-wide mechanisms.
Industry observers note that the partnership could face competition from established defense contractors, but the Dutch firms emphasize their agility and focus on modular, scalable systems. The EU's increasing investment in security technology, including anti-drone systems, is expected to create new market opportunities for specialized firms. The partnership also highlights the growing role of private-sector collaboration in addressing EU security gaps, particularly as member states seek to balance cost-effectiveness with operational readiness.
