Lithuania will deploy Polish-made anti-drone systems at strategic energy facilities to detect and neutralize drone threats, integrating these into a unified air defense under the Lithuanian Armed Forces to enhance national security amid geopolitical tensions.
Lithuania's Ministry of Defence, at the request of the Ministry of Energy and funded by energy companies, will purchase anti-drone systems to protect strategic energy facilities. The contract for these systems is expected to be signed soon. The systems will detect drones and their operators in real time and stop unauthorized entries into protected areas using radar, radio frequency sensors, optical and infrared cameras, electronic warfare tools, kinetic defenses, and GPS jamming or spoofing. They will be integrated with other defense systems, including air defenses and electronic intelligence networks. Three companies participated in the procurement, with the chosen equipment from Polish manufacturer Advanced Protection Systems SA. The Lithuanian Armed Forces will manage these systems in the event of aggression, integrating them into a unified air defense system. This initiative aims to strengthen Lithuania's defense capabilities amid growing drone technology threats and geopolitical tensions.
