Excited to share some ground-breaking news from the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA)! 🚀We have launched a thrilling new Themed Competition: "Protecting Physical Assets from UAS Attack." This initiative is a collaborative effort, generously funded by the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA), the UK Home Office, and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), with a substantial total funding pool of £750,000) The Challenge: In the wake of the war in Ukraine, the vulnerability of assets to Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) attacks has become glaringly apparent. While current Counter-UAS (C-UAS) technologies focus on intercepting these threats mid-flight, this competition seeks innovative solutions that pivot towards the physical protection of assets. We're looking for proposals that can harden assets against UAS attacks, provide last-ditch defenses, or deploy automated alerts for incoming threats. Whether you're in academia, industry, or a tech enthusiast with a ground-breaking idea, we want to hear from you. #DASA #Innovation #NationalSecurity #UASProtection #DefenceTech

Patrolling high-risk areas requires heightened vigilance, specialized training, and additional safety measures. Here are some key aspects and positions involved in patrolling high-risk areas:Key Aspects:Risk Assessment: Regularly evaluating the level of threat and identifying potential risks and vulnerabilities in the area.Training: Specialized training in conflict de-escalation, self-defense, first aid, and the use of surveillance equipment.Equipment: Use of advanced equipment such as body armor, communication devices, and sometimes firearms, depending on the risk level.Coordination: Working closely with local law enforcement, emergency services, and sometimes military forces.Visibility: Maintaining a visible presence to deter criminal activities.Surveillance: Utilizing CCTV, drones, and other surveillance technologies to monitor activities.Response Protocols: Establishing clear protocols for responding to different types of incidents, including evacuation procedures and emergency medical response.

Counter drone system buyers and investors often like to understand the risks that drones pose to civilian populations. London's Counter Terrorism Preparedness Network (CTPN) has helpfully written a report on this topic covering the use of drones for warfare and the threats they now pose domestically. This report helps police, sports bodies, stadiums, prisons and cities and local authorities understand the challenges that are posed by the rapid democratisation of drone technology and how to think about mitigating these risks.

Drones are becoming a serious threat in Israel, affecting both military and civilian areas. Since October 7, 2023, during the conflict in Gaza and Lebanon, we've seen more drone attacks in places that were once considered safe. In our latest article, we talk about these new risks and how we can defend against them. Yogev Yadin, our Regional Manager for Africa and the Middle East, shares insights on the challenges and what can be done to protect our people and important sites. "Areas that weren’t at risk before are now facing drone threats," says Yogev. "A single drone can cause a lot of damage, and it doesn’t take much money or skill to operate one." 🔍 Check out the article to learn more about these threats and the solutions we need to stay safe- https://lnkd.in/dT7zw4q4 #DroneThreats #Security #Defense #Safety

Think global conflicts stay abroad? Think again - some threats may be closer than you think. A Lebanese man has been arrested in Germany for allegedly procuring drone components intended for attacks against Israel on behalf of a non-state terrorist organization. Securing our skies demands equipping ourselves with the best tools for effectively safeguarding against dangers such as illicit drone activities and potential threats.

AMBREY – Threat Circular, Indian Ocean Region Insecurity The Houthis have broadened their target profile of 'Israel-affiliated' vessels. They have also mistakenly targeted vessels that were no longer associated with Israel. There has been an increased military presence in the Red Sea which has led to the interception of many missiles and UAVs, but the presence has been uneven, meaning ship hardening and protection measures remain important to mitigate the associated risks. In one of the more recent attacks, a speedboat approached at high speed and opened fire on a civilian ship. Armed guards followed RUF, and returned fire, repelling this attack.
