Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) represent an ever-growing challenge in modern conflict. During the NATO Technical Interoperability Exercise 2026 (TIE26), over 300 participants from dozens of countries will test how they can collectively detect and neutralise these threats.
The key focus of the exercise is interoperability. The objective is not only to test the latest drone technology but, more importantly, to ensure that systems from different NATO allies can communicate and work together seamlessly.
NLR possesses unique facilities within the Netherlands to conduct these large-scale tests safely and effectively. We are honoured to make a direct contribution to NATO’s collective security and technological advancement.
