May is “Defence Tech” month on the Dawn of Autonomy podcast, and we’re kicking things off with our sponsor, Volatus Aerospace, with a deep dive into one of the fastest-growing priorities in modern airspace security: Counter-UAS. This episode features Danielle Gagne, Head of Global Training Strategy & Business Development at Volatus. Danielle has been at the forefront of the commercial drone industry, first as an editorial analyst covering the market and now as the voice behind one of North America’s most active dual-use aerospace companies. In this conversation, Danielle breaks down how Volatus is tackling airspace security, awareness, and deterrence through its C-UAS training programs and SKYDRA—its proprietary C-UAS simulation software program. From executive-level policy and risk management to hands-on operator training and advanced operational planning, these programs are designed to equip leaders, planners and frontline personnel with the skills needed to detect, assess and respond to real-world drone threats. Tune in to learn how Volatus Aerospace is building a scalable, end-to-end C-UAS ecosystem- bridging training, technology and operations to help governments, military and public safety teams stay ahead of evolving aerial threats.
