DroneShield drops new white paper/security assessment initiative

SYDNEY — DroneShield, a provider of counter-drone technology, has announced the release of its latest white paper: Best Practices for Counter-Drone Deployment at Civil Airports, alongside a strategic collaboration with SRI Group, an independent aviation security and technology advisory company.

The White Paper: Best Practices for Counter-Drone Deployment at Civil Airports, was developed to help airports and regulators worldwide understand the scale of the drone threat, the technology available now, and the best practice frameworks available to address it. DroneShield said it authored the paper to advance global dialogue and policy on protecting airspace, due to civil aviation being increasingly at risk.

Further, the company said it is partnering with SRI Group to provide independent, vendor-neutral Counter-UAS Threat & Risk Assessments.  

“DroneShield is doing more than publishing a paper—they are creating a pathway for airports to act,” said John Halinski, Principal at SRI Group. “By offering airport leadership access to independent Counter-UAS Threat & Risk Assessments, DroneShield is ensuring that decisions are based on objective data and operational realities. It shows a real commitment to the safety of airports and the passengers they serve.”

At the upcoming Airports Council World Annual Assembly, Conference and Exhibition in Canada, DroneShield will host SRI Group at its stand, where airport executives can initiate the drone threat assessment process. Qualified leaders will then receive a tailored assessment and recommendation report from SRI Group.
