NATO launches €250k Airfield Denial Challenge for GPS-denied autonomous strike systems

Published 29 June 2026

NATO and Ukraine have jointly launched the Airfield Denial Challenge, offering €250,000 for technologies capable of rendering Russian military airfields non-operational for extended periods. The scope goes beyond runway cratering to cover aircraft, fuel stores, ammunition and ground infrastructure. The alliance is specifically seeking autonomous systems — drones, swarms and loitering munitions — engineered to operate under GPS jamming and communications suppression, according to a Russian commentary on the announcement.
