In low-altitude airspace, one catastrophic drone or air taxi incident could set the industry back years. Using the “Swiss Cheese Model” of airspace safety, this high-impact panel will explore how overlapping layers of technology, policy and law can prevent disaster and build public trust in emerging aviation. Experts will examine cutting-edge tools for airspace awareness and protection, including counter-UAS systems, electronic conspicuity solutions, detect-and-avoid technology, ADS-B, radar integration and air/ground risk analytics. Discussion will also address evolving legal frameworks, operational best practices and lessons learned from real-world safety events to provide a comprehensive view of how to safeguard both the skies and the communities below.
