We all can notice the proliferation of the drones in our world and their new capabilities, opportunities, and benefits, we talked about all the good and the security that it could be provided to us, drones become more common.
Unavoidably the risks involved in drone traffic are considerable.
Safety technologies and rules may not yet be developed fully or implemented effectively.
Drones Pose Main Threats to a Completely Unprepared Security Industry.
Attack
Illegal drones could be used for attack, it can hold missiles, explosions, grenades… and at a low price, these small devices cause maximum damage from a distance, which makes it an ultimate weapon for the terrorist.
they represent a serious threat to the population.
Collision
The number of close encounters between airplanes and drones continues to grow.
Drones can easily fly into restricted airspace and they are potentially lethal. Every collision results in serious and expensive problems. The amount of damage depends on the speed and the size of the drone. The heaviest the drone, the greater the potential damage is. Even between a very lightweight drone, cause the small drones are invisible to air traffic control and onboard radar.
There are rules and regulations, but many operators flouted it or either haven’t known about it.
Contraband
Drones are available for everyone at affordable prices and easy to operate.
not everyone using a drone is for protection or security. The drone can be a way to facilitate the execution of the crime.
For example, criminals have adapted the drone to smuggle contraband into hard to reach areas such as prison, port, and across the border.
Spying
Anybody can get a drone right off the store’s shelves, but spying is Illegal.
Most of the drone comes with a built-in camera.
They are using it easier to go inside neighbors and spy inside, into the windows and look of your privets moments.
and some criminals have even used the devices to scope out properties before breaking in.
Sensitive site is at risk of an airborne cyber-attack, as small drones are capable of carrying Nano computers and router and the sensitive information would be stolen.
Anti-Drone and drone detection
A wide range of organizations, private firms, labs, civilian and military entities… are being attacked by illegal drones that could be the effective weapon for the terrorist.
Relying on visual observation to detect drones is equally ineffective! at a distance of several hundred feet, a drone can become invisible in the naked eye.
As concerns grow the new market of the anti-drone is rapidly emerging in recent years to ensure the protection of the airspace, events, and sensitive website from any kind of drone intrusion.
Radiofrequency technology is at the heart of all the solutions and the most cost-efficient for anti-drone solutions.
Anti-drone helps to forbid drones from flying over protected areas through these 3 Steps:
1- Detection
The most popular drone detection technique is Radar, EO/IR…
It consists of multiple sensors to monitor the drone, maintain the range of its radio signals, and identify its type, it pinpoints the location of its operator.
2- Characterization
After locating the drone and its pilot, the anti-drone identifies the different characteristics of the drone, so the dedicated user interface gives the needed fact to counter a threat efficiently.
3-Neutralization
It stops the drone instantly by taking over the command and control frequencies to return it to its operator, or to disable the communication links forcing it to land at a designated area.
