Despite being a relatively new industry, counterdrone technology (C-UAS) sees rising demand for drone defense capabilities in almost all industries. Airports, critical infrastructure, and large public venues have quickly become prominent markets for C-UAS next to the military, law enforcement, and prisons. The advances in drone technology, unfortunately, also turn it into a new platform and…

In March 2021, the Suez Canal was blocked by the Ever Given container ship for six days, effectively blocking one of the world’s busiest trade routes. The incident resulted in a total insurance claim of over US$1 billion, which was one of the most expensive…

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine presents a massive opportunity for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to take the front line in modern warfare. Despite the early skepticism, drones bring air superiority over Russia by strengthening Ukraine’s air defence systems and providing electronic warfare countermeasures. The latter is particularly crucial in the sense of embracing new technology provided by NATO. This includes…

The rising popularity and accessibility of commercial drones result in the increasing risk of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) threats to civilians. Drones are a highly mobile and versatile technology, giving irresponsible parties the opportunity to breach restricted and private areas.

There have been numerous cases of drones being used to…

The rising accessibility of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS or drones) for non-military uses has called for the equally rapid evolution of counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS). In the aviation industry, that need became apparent after the infamous Gatwick Airport drone incident in 2018. Reports of drone sightings near the runway caused a big disruption at the airport, affecting around 1,000 flights in three days.…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), popularly known as drones, were originally created for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance in military and counter-terrorism operations. Since drones are small and operate under remote control, they help save lives and increase missions’ success rates in difficult terrain and no-go red zones.

Drone Use and Problems

With the rampant use of drones, they can now be used by terrorists and other adversaries to threaten peace and order. Accordingly, drones can be used in five ways. First, it can be used for surveillance. When confidential information is kept or the space within requires strict security, surveillance drones are used which is why a number of markets have been developing drone defense equipment. Populated spaces such as stadiums are also turned into …

In recent years, drones have been used to hide explosive devices. These are used to ambush soldiers in the battle or as some form of threat from terrorist groups. While drones have ignited terrorists to cause turmoil, similar disruptive events could occur in the coming days, months and decades with the continuous use of UAS.

Rather than becoming an aid to military operations and maintaining the safety of public and private…

Validating a drone threat is surely a hard thing to do. However, Droneshield, who strives to evolve as a global leader in the field of optical detection and tracking has partnered with the University of Technology Sydney in crafting the award winning AI engine DroneOptID. The software is embedded with the latest in Computer Vision technology to detect, identify and track drone targets in real time. …

The height of technology has brought countless benefits to humankind. However alongside its benefits are the downsides associated with its misuse. 

Just like any type of technology, drones too can be misused. Examples of their misuse could include causing disruption to other neutral aircrafts. As of today, news has reported several unmanned aircraft systems flying everywhere. Reports have…

The presence of the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has been drawing much of the public’s security concerns. One would definitely wonder about how on earth could  these UAS be flying over crowds or commercial venues for no reason. The loose counterdrone laws and regulations add up to the worries. However, amidst the security and privacy threats of these illegally planted UAS,…
