At the beginning of this millennium western armies found themselves dealing with improvised explosive devices, IEDs, planted along lines of communication, first in Iraq and then on a much wider scale, in Afghanistan. The Russia-Ukraine war confirmed a trend already seen in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War, the increase in the use of drones, which in the Ukrainian regions saw the advent of FPVs and suicidal drones, defined by many “flying IEDs”, as one of the main threats. To answer the IED threat at personal level in 2012 Thales UK launched the Storm-H, an individual protection against radio-controlled IEDs. The need…

Synthetic nucleic acids (custom DNA and RNA sequences) are routinely ordered from commercial providers and are essential inputs to vaccines, diagnostics, therapeutics, agriculture and industrial biotechnology. At the same time, the systems that enable rapid ordering and delivery of genetic material, may also allow access to sequences associated with hazardous biological functions. Screening, which involves checking both ordered sequences and customer legitimacy, has therefore been identified internationally as a key biosecurity safeguard. However, across the European Economic Area (EEA), screening remains largely voluntary and unevenly implemented, raising concerns about regulatory arbitrage, market fragmentation and the distribution of security responsibilities between…
