Utility Security Podcast - Drones - Why They are a Threat - Echodyne
Monday Apr 29, 2024
Monday Apr 29, 2024
This podcast discusses drone detection for utilities.
The speaker, Leo McCluskey from Echodyne, discusses various ways drones can be a threat to utilities and how difficult it can be to detect them because they can be modified to avoid detection.
He recommends a layered approach to drone detection that includes radar, optical cameras, and acoustic sensors.
McCluskey says that currently utilities can only call law enforcement if they see a drone but there are efforts underway to change regulations to allow utilities to take more aggressive action.
In the future, McCluskey expects to see more good drones being used for things like security purposes and better data sharing to help identify bad drones.
