The Threat of Dark Drones to Critical Infrastructure and What We Are Allowed to Do About It

Critical infrastructure faces a growing threat from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. The sophistication and carrying capacity of inexpensive drones continues to rise, while too much of our critical infrastructure remains unprotected.

In this pre-recorded webinar Echodyne Chief Technology Officer, Tom Driscoll, shares key concepts about drone and dark drone detection:

• • The real threat of drones to critical infrastructure
  • Understanding the threat – high ground versus low air
  • Effective perimeter intrusion accounts for a threats in the air
  • How to layer technology with radar to detect all drones including “dark” or “silent” drones
  • How legislation is evolving
