🎙️ NEW EPISODE | The Dark Side of Drone Tech: How Extremists Are Exploiting UAVs Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) - better known as drones - are transforming modern warfare. As the technology becomes more accessible to the general public, it also becomes easier for bad actors to exploit. From surveillance and reconnaissance to weaponised drone attacks, extremist groups are increasingly using this technology to enhance their operational capabilities. In this episode of our podcast, Lucas Webber is joined by Don Rassler (Director of Strategic Initiatives at the Combating Terrorism Center at the US Military Academy at West Point). Together, they discuss how terrorist organisations are using drones, the evolving threat landscape, and the countermeasures being developed to mitigate these risks.

💻 Have you read our Terrorist-Operated Websites explainer? Terrorist-Operated Websites are a key concern for Tech Against Terrorism. While terrorists and violent extremists are finding it harder to exploit social media platforms, they are finding it easier to simply set up websites for recruitment and disseminating information.  These websites operate in plain sight and despite our best efforts to have them taken down, terrorist-operated websites re-emerge due to fragmented international cooperation unclear legislation, and inconsistent responses from infrastructure providers.
