Counter-UAS Is Growing Up: From Defeating Drones to Managing the Low-Altitude Economy
The conversation around counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) has changed dramatically over the past decade. Not long ago, success was measured by one simple question: “Can you detect a drone?” Today,...Read More
When the Machine Decides: Inside the Legal Battle Over AI in Autonomous Systems
The gap between what artificial intelligence (AI) can do and what the law says it should do keeps widening. An expert “Minds and Machines” panel at Law-Tech Connect explored that...Read More
After the Alert: Maximizing the Operational Value of C-UAS Analytics
The drone operational environment has changed. It now demands robust counter‑UAS data, not just fast reactions. With rulemaking sharpening restrictions around sensitive facilities, the SAFER Skies Act expanding mitigation authority...Read More
Building Safer Corrections Facilities and Communities with GEOINT and 3D Mapping
Correctional agencies are building some of the most sophisticated geospatial intelligence programs in public safety. At this year’s Esri Safety and Security Summit, Pennsylvania’s Department of Corrections (PADOC) showed how...Read More
Drone As First Responder: Public Safety Innovation Reshapes Energy Sector
One of the most transformative concepts to emerge from public safety UAS programs is the Drone as First Responder (DFR) model. Law enforcement and fire service agencies developed DFR to...Read More
Multi-Modal Robot Teaming: Gambit’s Bet on Adaptive Intelligence
Josh Giegel built rocket engines at SpaceX and scaled Virgin Hyperloop from a garage startup to a 300-person company. Now he runs Gambit, a company racing to solve what may...Read More
Public Safety, Drone Delivery, UTM, And AAM: Shared Responsibility For The National Airspace
Public safety agencies already encounter commercial drone delivery systems operating in their jurisdictions. These interactions reveal practical challenges as delivery operations overlap with emergency response, infrastructure inspection and other UAS...Read More
Drone Detection And Counter-UAS: Public Safety Experience Informs Enterprise Airspace Awareness
One of the most important developments in cross sector UAS integration involves the growing adoption of drone detection systems in the private sector. As drone usage expands, organizations face a...Read More
Small Drones, Big Problems: JIATF 401’s Handbook Puts First Principles Before Firepower, Leans Heavily on History
JIATF 401’s new handbook, “Small Drones, Big Problems: A First Principles Approach to Countering-UAS,” offers a useful primer that centers counter-drone defense on shared vocabulary and lessons learned rather than...Read More
Public Safety Drone Programs and Enterprise UAS: Lessons From DRONERESPONDERS At The Energy Drone And Robotics Summit
Public safety agencies did not adopt unmanned aircraft systems because they chased new technology. They introduced drones because they faced clear operational necessity in high stakes environments. Over the past...Read More
