Regardless of the drone pilot’s intention, drones pose a serious safety risk and lead to costly downtime of air traffic.
Protecting airports is a challenging task and needs effective response procedures complemented by situational awareness of drones in the airspace. In this speaker slot, we are discussing different response procedures and available tools that the responsible parties can use to effectively deal with drone threats.
