Drones are becoming an increasingly available risk to enterprise security. Unauthorized drones force security leaders to think differently about security.
As drones become smaller, less expensive and more popular, we need new Counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) solutions for airports to prevent and mitigate drone-related threats.
The Miami International Airport (MIA) was selected by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as a test site for new drone detection technology.
There are a number of factors to consider when assessing, planning, designing, deploying, and operating any airspace surveillance, and/or integrated ground and airspace security system. Many of the security process elements tip into sensor requirements and, as a recent Interagency Advisory helpfully noted, some of the sensors provide functionality that is itself illegal.
The Federal Aviation Administration has plans to test various drone detection and countermeasure systems for use at airports. The first of such tests will take place in Atlanta this year.
