Detect, Identify and Neutralise: Countering the New Threat in the Skies
The civilian market is moving closer to implementation of technology to detect, identify and neutralise malicious drone activity, however major regulatory hurdles remain before we can see the employment of drone neutralising technology. Law enforcement agencies, prisons, stadia and other facilities should celebrate the current trajectory of drone regulation, which appears to be prioritising safety and enforcement.
The threat to civilian life is diverse; in the Middle East drones have become a common terrorist tool, requiring law enforcement and militaries to adopt counter measure with immediate effect. In Europe, the focus must remain on the effective identification of drone incursions and the delivery of legislation to protect sites at risk.
This December, we will provide a unique platform where security professions can share their challenges with governments, regulators and industry, to assist in developing a lens for threat assessment and a framework for progression.
Join the Countering Drones conference to:
- Explore holographic radar solution to assist you in the detection and identification of malicious drones
- Make an informed assessment of different types of counter-drone technologies and identify which system is best for your unique circumstances
- Influence future policy by contributing to high-level discussions with policymakers, insurers and legal practitioners
- Ensure that your organisation is aware of current developments in national security strategy, regulations and aviation legislation by hearing from senior policymakers from the UK, Europe and US
- Discover how enhancing trial procedure can help you identify the right product for your facility
Key questions to be addressed include:
- How is drone and counter-drone technology developing and how might this impact the security of key industries?
- How vulnerable is critical national infrastructure, in particular, to civilian drones? What are the current safeguards to protect against this and how can we measure this risk?
- What kind of counter-drone solutions should commercial organisations employ, if any, and what might be the legal implications of their use?
- Hear from industry experts on the latest counter-drone technological developments and how they plan to solve enduring challenges for government and commercial industry - from detection to disruption
- What are the regulatory obstacles that stand in the way of the development and employment of different types of counter drone solutions? What measures are appropriate and in what contexts?
