In the ever-evolving landscape of security threats, critical infrastructure sites like nuclear facilities face an increasingly complex challenge: commercially available drones. Once viewed as mainly recreational devices, these versatile platforms now pose a potentially significant security risk. This blog post explores the growing threat of unauthorized drone activity around nuclear facilities and discusses effective strategies for implementing effective drone defense systems. Nuclear Facilities – Critical Infrastructure, Vital National Assets Nuclear facilities encompass a range of vital national assets, including power plants that generate electricity, research institutions focused on nuclear science and engineering, reprocessing plants for recycling nuclear materials, and secure storage sites for nuclear waste. Additionally, some facilities are responsible ...

The constantly broadening range of Counter-Drone (C-UAS) Detection and Mitigation Technologies available today makes an efficient assessment incredibly challenging. Each technology is different in terms of relevance for various environments, scenarios, and use cases. Both well-established legacy methods, as well as newer innovations and techniques, warrant deep investigation to provide thorough decision support for C-UAS system acquisition processes. While plenty of such comparisons have been published and are readily available, what has been lacking in many of these summaries is focused attention on the special requirements of sensitive and civilian environments , as C-UAS threats have extended from the military sphere to urban and other environments that have very different requirements, with special attention needed to achieve control, safety and continuity. In addition, ...
