Day 3 - 16 March
Session: Aviation & Border Security, Control & Facilitation

12:25 - 12:55 - Deal with unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) at airports
Synopsis: There are new vehicles moving in air space: unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as drones. Perimeter security is always based on fences, visual observation and perimeter intrusion detection systems. All these technologies are designed to detect intruders on ground. UAVs are a new threat that could interfere with an airport or aeroplanes landing and taking off. When creating a system of UAV threat mitigation at the airport we need to respect airport specifics. These specific conditions need to be respected even when using our own UAVs for security, safety and emergency purposes.
