Evolving Aerial Threats: The Need for Multilayered Detection

Last summer, a Russian surveillance aerostat floated near Narva’s border for weeks, which is another strong reminder that aerial threats are evolving.
 As such threats like surveillance balloons, drug-smuggling drones that don’t emit any signals, and other military aerial threats become more advanced and harder to detect, border security must keep up.

We’re glad that the show “Impulss” (11.03.2025) on ETV brought more attention to this issue. It’s important and great to see that Estonia is not only raising awareness but also taking steps to address these challenges. Understanding the problem is just the first step, we also need to be prepared well. Border guards have already intercepted drones smuggling contraband, proving the urgency of action. The Drone Wall initiative will play a crucial role in strengthening eastern border protection and ensuring a more secure future.

At Marduk Technologies, we believe multi-layered drone detection is the only way forward. No single technology is enough - only a mix of radar, RF detectors, acoustic sensors, and effectors can provide real security.

The threats are real. Our response must be stronger!
