🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨 I’m excited to share our latest research published in Remote Sensing MDPI on "Methods for Assessing the Effectiveness of Modern Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS)"! 🎯 With the rising threats posed by drones, this paper offers a much-needed standardized methodology for evaluating C-UAS technologies. Our study analyzed 260 systems, highlighting key technologies like radars, cameras, and sensors, and we developed comparative metrics to help critical infrastructure protect against malicious drone activity. This work draws on insights from the EU-ISF-COURAGEOUS project, which tested a broad spectrum of C-UAS technologies across four countries. The paper is open access—freely available to read and download via MDPI at this link: https://lnkd.in/e69Qzz36 🔍 Huge thanks to Konrad Dominik Brewczyński from the Military University of Technology in Warsaw for leading this effort! 🙏 Whether you're in defense, security, or interested in cutting-edge anti-drone tech, this article will give you valuable insights on how we can safeguard key locations from unauthorized drone use. Don't miss out—take a look! 👇 #CUAS #Drones #Innovation #Security #RemoteSensing #OpenAccess #ISFCourageous

The 2023 U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) may impact the use of drones by many public safety agencies. Learn how is this new article from Commercial UAV News. #publicsafetyuas #dronesforgood #droneresponders #airt #drones #uas #ndaa

I’m excited today represents a truly historic moment for Axon. Not only did we post record Q1 results with 34% YoY growth, a strengthened full-year outlook, and strong Adj. EBITDA margin of 23.6%, but we also announced we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Dedrone, the leader in airspace security. Dedrone is 100% aligned with Axon’s mission to protect life by the ability of its technology to defend people and infrastructure against increasing drone threats and advancing the use of Drones as First Responders (DFR). The acquisition will strengthen Axon’s ability to help customers safeguard their communities, improve response to critical incidents and protect even more lives in more places. https://lnkd.in/gSDMe96s #axon #thisisaxon #dedrone #cuas #counterdrone #airspacesecurity #drones #dfr #mergersandacquisitions #corporatedevelopment #protectlife #corporatestrategy #obsoletethebullet #capturetruth #acceleratejustice #corporateventurecapital

Great article highlighting the DoD's initiatives to address the escalating drone swarm threat anticipated in future conflicts, a challenge already unfolding in regions like Ukraine. Encouraging to see Anduril Industries taking proactive steps in this critical space. Read more here: [Link to the article] #DoD #Drones #MilitaryTechnology

This article includes a clip of a Russian soldier getting killed. We are seeing the next, predictable step in drone warfare. Terminal guidance. Previously, the pilot had to steer the drone from takeoff to the last moment. Misses could be caused by lack of skill, communications interruption due to terrain or foliage or even actual jamming. Terminal guidance solves those problems. Terminal guidance will lead to gps or terrain associated 'kill boxes', and ultimately, drones that simply fly out of a box, and kill people. I'd hope this whole thing ends soon, but it won't.

The growing use of UAVs by port security professionals is yielding positive results, with improvements in safety and efficiency, and lower costs than alternative methods. Drones have a bright future in this field due to these advantages. To ensure the safety and security of ports in the United States, security personnel must undergo extensive training and obtain certifications such as the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) card. These requirements and training make it difficult and costly to increase the size of the security team. Unlike their human counterparts, drones do not need any special certificates or credentials to operate in the port security domain.

Mastering the Sky: On the Frontlines of C-UAS Technology When you're at the top of the game, you don't just settle for the status quo—you push boundaries, break barriers, and redefine excellence. That's exactly what I experienced during my recent visit to some of the leaders of #C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems) that are part of our system contracts in the United Nations. Stepping into these innovation hubs, I felt the pulse of cutting-edge technology and the unwavering drive of brilliant minds working tirelessly to secure our skies. It's one thing to see in media the advanced drone detection and mitigation strategies, but it's another to feel these C-UAS in action. However, what exactly is C-UAS, you might ask? This refers to the technologies and systems designed to detect, track, mitigate and/or neutralize unauthorized #drones or unmanned aerial vehicles. As the malicious use of drones has surged in recent years, it has become crucial to mitigate any potential threats they may pose. It's not just about stopping drones; it's about controlling the airspace and enhancing situational awareness in benefit of your forces. That's why the #UNGSC (United Nations Global Service Center) maintains a pool of experts capable of designing and supporting the implementation of C-UAS solutions for UN Peacekeeping missions, HQs, Agencies, Funds, Programs, partner organizations, etc. This is in strong cooperation and collaboration with the industry and academia, where our #UNC4ISR Academy in Entebbe is a crucial part of the equation. But #innovation doesn't happen in a vacuum. It takes visionaries, game-changers, and relentless pursuit of perfection. That's why I'm extending my deepest gratitude to Elbit Systems, Smart Shooter, and AR Factor Group for organizing my training, visits to the field, and taking the time to give an insider's view into the future of C-UAS technology. Your hospitality and openness were as impressive as the #technologies you showcased. These activities weren’t just about seeing what's possible; it was about setting a new benchmark for what's expected. The insights and knowledge gained are invaluable, and they will significantly influence our mission to integrate these advanced technologies into our bases and patrols, ensuring our operations in the #UN remain at the pinnacle of safety, security, and efficiency. To everyone involved, I extend my sincere gratitude to you for a transformative experience. Let's continue to redefine the limits and master the skies. BTW… Not a bad performance as a shooter, especially after being away from the gun range for over three years—just kidding! All the credit goes to the system.

🚨 Potential DJI Ban: What It Means for Our Industry 🚨 The discussion around a potential DJI ban is heating up, largely due to concerns over data security and national security risks associated with the use of Chinese-made drones. This move could have significant implications for many sectors reliant on DJI technology. However, at EnviroMINE, while we utilize DJI drones to some extent, our primary operations leverage the Quantum Systems Trinity drone. As a result, our workflows and capabilities will remain largely unaffected. For many in the industry, this potential ban could mean a significant shift in operational strategies and investments in drone technology. While the concerns about data security are understandable, it's crucial to balance regulatory measures with the need for continued innovation. Let's stay informed and proactive as this situation evolves. Your insights on how this might impact our industry are welcome! #Drones #Technology #Innovation #Regulation #FutureOfWork #QuantumSystems #DJI https://lnkd.in/gPYpStRD

The US Government Accountability Office (#GAO) highlights the rapid proliferation of drones and the accompanying safety concerns across commercial, governmental, and recreational domains, emphasizing the need for robust regulatory frameworks. The GAO's insights underscore the critical need for airspace security solutions, like those offered by Dedrone, to effectively detect, track, and mitigate #dronethreats.
