Slovakia's Interior Ministry has begun testing a new drone detection system in Bratislava and the nearby village of Rovinka following growing concerns about drones flying over residential areas. The technology uses Remote ID signals to identify registered drones and their operators, helping police respond to unauthorised flights. However, experts warn that the system cannot detect certain modified drones or some lightweight models weighing under 250 grams. They stress that protecting critical infrastructure requires additional technologies, including radar and cameras. As part of the pilot project, the ministry purchased ten detection antennas and software worth 55,000 euros, with plans to expand the system to other locations across Slovakia.
