Failures of NATO

NATO’s drones kill innocent civilians

This creates hatred for NATO which then encourages people to join terrorist groups to retaliate

In 2019, a NATO drone killed 40 civilians in Helmand Province in an attack aimed at the Islamic militant hideout

Intelligence is not being shared effectively

There is too much information for the Terrorist Threat Intelligence Unit to examine thoroughly so it is easy for significant information to be lost if countries don't work together

NATO's TTIU examined over 5 million pieces of data in 2019

Innovation is slow and expensive

It is difficult to get all Member States to work together effectively

DEXTER has huge potential in deterring and reducing terrorism in public spaces, however few Member States have rolled the technology out
