Transparency and Accountability for Drone Use: European Approaches

Invitation Only Research Event

11 March 2019 - 9:30am to 12 March 2019 - 12:30pm

Chatham House

With increased use of military drones in recent years there have also been many calls for greater transparency and accountability with regards to drone operations.

This would allow for greater public understanding, particularly as the complex nature of military operations today intensifies difficulties in sustaining perceptions of the legitimate use of force.

For example, in Europe, leading states rely on the US for drone platforms and for the infrastructure - such as military communication networks - that enable those operations, while the US also relies on airbases in European states to operate its drone programme.

In addition, with reports that the US is loosening the rules on the use of drones, it is important to understand how European approaches to transparency and accountability may be affected by these developments.

This workshop focuses on how European states can facilitate transparency to ensure accountability for drone use, as well as what the limits might be, considering both the complexity of military operations today and the need for achieving operational goals.

With the US easing restrictions on export controls, the discussion also considers the role of regulation in ensuring accountability and prospects for developing common standards.

Attendance at this event is by invitation only.

The Implications of Drone Proliferation in Europe

Invitation Only Research Event

20 May 2019 - 9:30am to 21 May 2019 - 12:30pm

Chatham House, London

Several countries in Europe are currently developing, increasing or arming their drone capabilities. This increase in drone capability is taking place through procurement by individual states, bilateral projects – such as the French-German Future Combat Air Systems – and multinational efforts that include the development of the Eurodrone – a project by Germany, France, Italy and Spain – and the nEUROn which involves France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. In addition, the EU has recently approved the European Defence Fund which, along with funds for joint development of defence equipment and technology and for defence research, also includes direct funding to support the development of the Eurodrone.
  
Other recent developments include the UK obtaining the MQ−9B SkyGuardian – an updated variant of the MQ-9 Reaper – and Germany signing a leasing agreement for the Israeli-made Heron TP. Also, in March 2019, the US State Department approved the sale of the MQ-9B SkyGuardian to Belgium and announced the provision of MQ-9 Reaper drones to the Netherlands. While the UK and France are the only countries in Europe so far to possess armed drones, Italy is on track to acquire armed drones in the near future. However, out of the European countries currently seeking to obtain unarmed drones – including Spain, Poland and Greece – only Switzerland has so far ruled out weaponizing its drones in the future.
 
This Chatham House workshop will examine key issues pertaining to drone proliferation in Europe including: 
  • The risks and challenges of the increasing number and arming of drones. 
  • The risks for countries of not doing so in terms of geostrategic interests and the future battlefield.
  • Opportunities for developing common standards on drone transfers and deployment across EU member states.
  • Sharing and cooperation on drone use.
  • What legal and policy implications might arise for European states as a result.

With Brexit on the horizon, participants will also consider what impact this may have on future drone developments in Europe.

Attendance at this event is by invitation only.

Policy Implications of Armed Drone Use

This project brings together experts on the use of armed drones, including current and former military officials, academia, think-tanks and NGOs, to discuss and exchange perspectives based on their different experiences, with the aim of sharing knowledge and increasing understanding on these issues, and to inform and provide input into the European debate.

With the increased use of armed drones in recent years, ethical and legal concerns have been raised in regard to civilian casualties, secrecy and lack of transparency and accountability for drone strikes.

This project brings together experts on the use of armed drones, including current and former military officials, academia, think-tanks and NGOs, to discuss and exchange perspectives based on their different experiences, with the aim of sharing knowledge and increasing understanding on these issues, and to inform and provide input into the European debate. The experts explore the issues and controversies surrounding the use of drones outside formal armed conflict and study the broader policy implications in detail, particularly with regards to what this means for the UK and other European countries.

Building on the findings from the workshops, this project will hold a simulation exercise to stress test critical areas of concern around the use of armed drones that are relevant for the UK and other EU member states.

The discussions and the simulation exercise will provide opportunities for policy input on areas of mutual concern and feed into practical policy recommendations on the use of armed drones.

This project builds on previous work on armed drones by the International Security Department and is funded by the Open Society Foundations.
