The Royal Thai Armed Forces and Royal Thai Police are set to enhance their focus on counter-drone technology training as part of their yearly exercises and drills. This decision was made public at a joint meeting of military and police commanders, steered by Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Songwit Noonpackdee.

 

The session was an avenue for discussing plans for capacity building for both forces until 2027, in which the importance of counter-drone technology and intelligence gathering was highlighted.

 

Gen Songwit emphasised the need for such training during the meeting, which took place ahead of a new joint exercise involving civilians, police and soldiers commencing today. This annual training regimen will be succeeded by Cobra Gold 2024, set to take place in military zones under the First Army Region’s control and the Gulf of Thailand, reported Bangkok Post.
