CUAS For Security
Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems for Security
Miniature aircraft have shared the skies with their full-size counterparts since the dawn of human aviation. It is the presence of sophisticated onboard computers that separates yesterday’s model aircraft from today’s drones. Security strategies that counter airborne threats must also protect security on the ground.
Value of CUAS over Aircraft Spotters
- Electronic counter measures provide wider airspace signal awareness
- Industry advances make miniature radar installation possible
- Sonic pattern detection adds reliability to intrusion alerts
- Select CUAS systems can overtake a drone’s command and control
- Select CUAS systems can physically capture a drone
- Select SUAS systems can identify a pilot’s ground location
CUAS Integration Assessment
- Evaluate physical location and airspace for effective use of CUAS technology
- Analyze the threats that a CUAS system may possibly address and counter
- Create an integration plan to blend CUAS into existing security framework
- Author RFPs and vendor analysis to insure quality of hardware purchases
- Manage and maintain quality control of flight system installations.
Training *
- Interview and skill test special operator candidates
- Insure compliance with FCC and local law authorities
- Introduce special operators to the techniques of low altitude aerial surveillance
- Train fleet managers on software defined radio and common RF spectrum usage
- Design and train coordinated communication response tactics with ground security
Airborne CUAS Management
- Review flight planning and scheduling for optimal use of equipment and time
- Maintain team awareness of federal, state and local rules and regulations
- Publish procedures and checklists for maximum uptime continuity of service
- Implement periodic audits to insure team communication & effectiveness
- Interface with hardware and software vendors to implement upgrades
UAS For Security
Drones (Unmanned Aerial Systems or UAS) for Security Surveillance
Like their human counterparts, drones are deployed for standard security procedures ranging from routine perimeter checks to first response emergencies. As both sides of the security equation are driven by human ingenuity, it is important to adopt and maintain a mastery of remotely piloted aircraft to stay safe and benefit from current and emerging technology.
Value of Drones over Manned Aircraft and Ground Vehicles
- Small size provides cost savings in purchase, maintenance and insurance
- Valuable low altitude point of view enhances security awareness
- Faster response time quickens threat assessment
- Advanced technology address new and evolving airspace threats
- Airborne video improves ground security team effectiveness and situational awareness
- Air access makes inaccessible terrain visible to ground security
UAS Integration Assessment
- Evaluate physical location and airspace for appropriate application of UAS technology
- Analyze the threats that an airborne system may possibly address and counter
- Create an integration plan to blend UAS into existing security framework
- Author RFPs and vendor analysis to ensure quality of hardware purchases
- Manage and maintain quality control of flight system installations.
Training *
- Interview and skill test FAA Part 107 pilot candidates
- Develop communication protocol with FAA and local law authorities
- Introduce FAA Part 107 pilots to the techniques of low altitude aerial surveillance
- Train fleet managers on battery upkeep, motor maintenance and firmware control
- Design and train coordinated communication response tactics with ground security
Airborne Resource Management
- Review flight planning and scheduling for optimal use of equipment and time
- Maintain team awareness of federal, state and local rules and regulations
- Publish procedures and checklists for maximum uptime continuity of service
- Implement periodic audits to insure team communication & effectiveness
- Interface with hardware and software vendors to implement upgrades
These services do not constitute flight training as defined by insurance.
