Here, nets are tested as protection against attack drones in Västervik: "Pioneers"

Experience from Ukraine shows that drones are used extensively against both military and civilian targets.

- We need to learn more from Ukraine about how to use networks, says Daniel Kullgard, strategic innovation coordinator at the Agency for Civil Defense (MCF).

It is the Civil Defense Authority and the Research Institute of Sweden (RISE) that conducted practical tests at the airport on Thursday and Friday.

- It is very important. Due to the development of the outside world and the changed security situation, we know that there is a drone threat and we need to learn how to protect ourselves against that threat, he says.

Around 90 people from several different municipalities, regions, authorities and businesses were on site to see the tests. One of them was Teracom, which is responsible for basic communications in Sweden.

- Even if there is war in the country, our signals must get through and society must get the information it needs, says Johan Petersson, CEO of Teracom.
