How are drones a security threat +

Drones can pose serious security threats when misused. They can be exploited for espionage, smuggling, or attacks. . For example, rogue drones have shut down airports all over the world, affecting many passengers. D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir provides advanced counter-drone protection by safely neutralizing unauthorized drones.

How do drones threaten national security? +

Drones can be used for surveillance, attacks, and as airborne weapons. Reports from military conflicts and security agencies highlight how drones have been deployed for reconnaissance and targeted attacks.

What are the risks drones pose to aviation? +

Drones flying in restricted airspace can collide with aircraft, causing serious safety concerns. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) regularly reports on multiple near-misses and collisions between drones and commercial airliners. EnforceAir offers a safe solution by detecting and mitigating unauthorized drones.

Can drones be used for cyber-attacks? +

Yes, drones can carry devices to hack Wi-Fi networks, intercept communications, and disrupt GPS signals. Cybersecurity researchers have demonstrated how drones can be equipped to extract sensitive data remotely.

How can drone threats be mitigated? +

Counter-drone solutions such as RF-based drone takeover, advanced detection systems, and geofencing help neutralize threats. Unlike jamming or kinetic solutions, RF-based cyber-takeover technology enables safe drone mitigation without causing unintended disruptions.

What industries are most vulnerable to drone threats? +

Sectors at high risk include:

  • Aviation – Drones near airports can lead to flight cancellations and airspace violations.
  • Defense & Government – Military forces and national security agencies face threats from rogue drone surveillance and attacks.
  • Critical Infrastructure – Power plants, oil refineries, and data centers are vulnerable to drone-related threats.
  • Law Enforcement & Prisons – Drones have been used to smuggle contraband and conduct unauthorized surveillance.
  • Borders – Drones can be used for smuggling, unauthorized crossings, and surveillance, posing significant security challenges for border control.
What is the safest way to neutralize a rogue drone? +

RF-based cyber-takeover solutions like EnforceAir allow security teams to safely land unauthorized drones without reliance on jamming or physical force. This helps to keep drones from crashing and minimizes collateral risks.
