Aerospace Village 2,961 followers 6d Edited Report this post What most people get wrong about drone defense Counter‑UAS isn’t just about detecting drones—it’s a complex, evolving ecosystem spanning engineering, law, security operations, and policy. At #DEFCON34, Greg Albrecht’s talk, “Drones, Detectors, and the Kill Chain,” takes a deeper look at what’s really happening behind the scenes. Based on operational experience supporting SEAR 1 National Special Security Events—the highest level of domestic security designation—this session walks through the full C‑UAS stack using real data and field insight. It also challenges common assumptions: - How drone detection actually works - Who is legally authorized to respond—and why - Where current systems fall short - How low-cost tools can expose gaps in today’s defenses For practitioners navigating this space, understanding these realities is critical. 👉️ Watch Hacker Tracker for session details and join the discussion. #DEFCON34 #SecurityResearch #DroneDefense #InfoSec #EmergingTech #AerospaceVillage #SecurityResearch #SpaceSecurity #CybersecurityCommunity #HackerCommunity 38 1 Comment Like Comment Matt Gaffney 16h Report this comment Genuinely excited to hear this talk and to learn more.

We’ve been analyzing and compiling data on Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) for some time now—but as the threat evolves, so must our focus. Today, we are officially turning up the volume on our UGV threat intelligence. To lead this massive data and analysis expansion, we’ve brought on a premier Counter-UGV specialist. While we’re keeping their name under wraps for operational security, their expertise is already supercharging our existing ground-threat databases and predictive analysis. The proof of why this matters is in the video below. 👇 This footage shows a UGV configured with explosives just before detonation. It highlights a tactical shift we've been tracking closely: ground-based autonomous systems are becoming cheaper, more agile, and increasingly utilized for asymmetric strikes. Three unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) were used. One acted as a decoy. Another, reportedly carrying 300 kilograms of explosives, drove into the building from the rear and detonated. A third delivered additional equipment to troops surrounding the damaged building. 📊 What our data shows: UGVs are being leveraged to exploit blind spots in traditional aerial-only defense systems, carrying heavier payloads directly to perimeter vulnerabilities. Securing an environment means protecting every dimension. If you've only been looking up, you're missing half the picture. We’re excited to bring our clients even deeper insights, broader datasets, and actionable intelligence on the UGV landscape moving forward. #DroneSec #ThreatIntelligence #UGV #CounterDrone #DefenseTech #NationalSecurity #AutonomousSystems …more 20 Like Comment To view or add a comment, sign in Ashley Labrosse 3w Edited Report this post UAV and USV attacks on high-profile individuals and critical infrastructure aren't a future risk, they're happening now. The tactics are evolving. The technology behind them is becoming cheaper and more accessible by the month. Security professionals who are still relying on yesterday's countermeasures are already behind and its making their clients vulnerable. We've published a case study showing exactly how we detected, tracked, and neutralised real-world UAV threats on a foreign Royal Estate. No theory. No hypotheticals. Just what actually worked. 👇 Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eDSefwfk Communications Specialist Ltd 1,153 followers 3w Drone threats are difficult to manage when teams cannot see them coming. For high-profile, remote, or operationally sensitive sites, UAVs can pose serious risks to surveillance, privacy, intelligence gathering, and aviation safety. In a recent counter-UAV deployment, Comms-Spec helped a large private estate move from limited visibility to real-time detection, confirmation and response. The SkyControl system provided: • Immediate drone detection • AI-supported visual confirmation • Controller and pilot location intelligence • 24/7 monitoring support • Direct radio communication with the on-site close protection team • Evidential recording for review and repeat-offender monitoring Over the first two months, the system recorded 40+ immediate threats, giving the security team actionable intelligence they would not have had without dedicated UAV detection in place. 👉 Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eDSefwfk #CounterUAV #DroneDetection #UAVSecurity #SecurityTechnology 9 Like Comment To view or add a comment, sign in Communications Specialist Ltd 1,153 followers 3w Report this post Drone threats are difficult to manage when teams cannot see them coming.

Acevedo, CPP, CPS 3w Report this post #FUBARFriday … you missed! The South Korean Air Force is running training exercises to intercept a swarm of 50 drones. Good on them for drilling the tactics. We all know attacking drones will remain static while you are shooting at them, right?! In the real world those attacking systems do not politely hover in place while you line up your shot. Swarms move fast, adapt on the fly, and exploit gaps faster than most defenses can react. This kind of preparation matters, yet it also shines a light on how far behind the curve many operators still sit when cheap, garage-built threats meet high-value targets. We keep seeing the pattern: dual-use tech that started as hobby toys now delivers serious asymmetric punch, and static training alone will not cut it. Knowledge remains the best firewall. Check out my upcoming book The Drone Revolution: How Unmanned Systems Are Changing Security Forever for the full picture on these evolving threats and practical ways to stay ahead. Study the incidents, test your own countermeasures, and push your teams to think like the attacker. Families, small ops, and critical sites alike need practical plans today, not tomorrow. #innovation #security #management #cuas …more 33 6 Comments Like Comment To view or add a comment, sign in Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC) 953 followers 1w Report this post As the #electricsector faces increasingly complex threats, drone-enabled reconnaissance and attack vectors are outpacing traditional defenses.

Active deterrence and faster incident triage. Sentinel Storage Security 466 followers 3d Edited Introducing the Sentinel Dronen Guard—a world first for the self storage industry. Developed alongside our partners DJI and MSS Security, this is an operational piece of technology designed to enhance human security, not replace it. Through scheduled and incident-driven patrols, the Sentinel Drone can provide active deterrence and another set of eyes across large and multi story self-storage facilities, fence lines, rooftops and harder-to-see areas - complimenting existing security infrastructure and hardening sites. It can help security teams investigate unusual activity, follow movement across a site, communicate in real time and build a clearer picture before people are placed in harm’s way. A big thank you to the Self Storage Association of Australasia for helping us introduce this technology to the market. We’re incredibly excited to see the potential of the Sentinel Drone—and what becomes possible when experienced people are supported by the right technology. The future doesn’t just happen. You build it. #SentinelDrone #SelfStorageSecurity #SecurityInnovation #DJI #MSSSecurity #SSAA #SentinelStorageSecurity #selfstorage #construction #security 2 Like Comment To view or add a comment, sign in Rotem Rogovsky 3w Report this post For more than 12 years, I’ve been living and breathing the drone industry. Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed how aerial threats are evolving faster than ever before. Out of that understanding, EREZ was born. We are developing a new approach to counter-drone defense — one that looks at the challenge from a different perspective. It’s still too early to reveal all the details, but I can say that I’m incredibly proud of the team, the journey, and what we are building. This is only the beginning.
