The world's only online conference for the security community dedicated to countering drones
The civilian drone market is set to explode, and with it the threat to critical civil infrastructure. In the USA alone, the DOD requested $500 million for
counter-UAS funding for civil and military spending in 2020. It is clear therefore that the requirements for
counter-drone solutions are still there - and as new regulations come into force, organisations will soon have greater clarity on which solutions they will be able to employ, meaning they will have more freedom to procure new solutions.
Countering Drones 2020 will progress the conversations on drone threat beyond our current understanding, and into the areas of future threats. We will explore how the proliferation of this rapidly developing industry has the power to carry considerable disruptive force, and what we can do now to lay the foundations for future success.
Bringing together experts from law enforcement, airports, critical national infrastructure, subject matter experts, and technology leaders it will provide a platform for meaningful consensus and constructive discussions as to how we can maintain safety and security against the misuse of drones.
