Environment - Non Weather Related; Human Factors; Procedure
While on approach into ZZZ; we were descending from 6;000 ft to 5;000 ft on the runway localizer tracking inbound to runway; and were cleared for the ILS . While descending through approximately 5;300 ft; on the Localizer; a larger sized; square 'Quad-Copter' drone suddenly went past our right wing; (from aircraft front to back) missing the right wingtip by; in my estimations; about 50 ft. The event happened so quickly that there was no manual reaction to the event (autopilot / auto-throttles stayed engaged; etc). I immediately told my Captain that we just had a near miss with a drone since he did not see it; and we immediately notified Air Traffic Control as to the exact location; altitude; and description of the drone/event. We proceeded on the ILS as normal; for landing. The Captain contacted the Chief Pilot once parked at the gate to report the matter.
Air carrier flight crew was on a final for an ILS approach when they came within 50 ft. of a large sized UAS. Crew notified ATC and landed safely.
