Startup CEO Highlights Drone Defense Gaps in Germany Post-Drone Attack
In October 2025, a drone threat at Munich Airport triggered an urgent response by military and specialists. Marc Wietfeld, CEO of Arx Robotics, emphasizes the need for rapid drone defense solutions to protect critical infrastructure.

The October 2025 drone incident at Munich Airport highlighted deficiencies in Germany's drone defense capabilities. Marc Wietfeld, CEO of Arx Robotics, noted that while the threat of explosive-laden drones is escalating, the response mechanisms remain inadequate.
Existing regulations hinder timely action, and current detection methods lack effective countermeasures. Wietfeld advocates for immediate, adaptable solutions rather than lengthy development cycles for new defense systems.
He emphasizes the need for collaboration among German firms with experience in drone technology from conflicts such as Ukraine. A proactive approach is essential to safeguard critical infrastructure against future threats.
