Participate at the world’s only countering drones conference dedicated to the security community.
The Gatwick incident in December has brought the subject of security against drones sharply back into focus. This July, our panel of experts at the Countering Drones Conference will be discussing the most pressing issues surrounding threat, risk, resilience, technology and incident response.
U.S. Government, UK MoD, FIFA, Directorate of Civil Aviation Security (France), Riyadh Airports, Gendarmerie Nationale, plus many others have confirmed their participation.

In this exclusive opinion piece, the researchers behind the ‘Red Teaming Report’ on ‘The Nefarious, Criminal and Terrorist Use of Drones’, Professor David Dunn and Dr Christopher Wyatt from the University of Birmingham, explore the challenges surrounding countering drones in the civilian space.
Leaders of this year’s Countering Drones Conference workshop on ‘Helping security professionals understand risk, regulation and resilience to counter the accidental or unlawful misuse of drones’, they delve here into the three main themes that will be the core focus of the day: risk, regulation and resilience.

As recent incidents has shown – the Gatwick airport shut down, the attack on Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, the prison escape of French outlaw Rédoine Faïd – drones have the ability to create chaos at major transport hubs and enable terrorists and criminals to conduct illegal activities. Although authorities now take the threat more seriously, the question around their resilience and adequate response remains.
Ahead of this year’s Countering Drones Global Conference, Defence IQ have created this map outlining the latest drone incidents around the world. Speakers from the sectors represented here will be present at the event to further the discussion around the need to detect, identify and neutralise malicious drone activity.

Defence IQ: What makes the detection and tracking of small drones so difficult in congested airspaces, such as airports, stadiums, prisons, CNI etc.? How can industry overcome these challenges to efficiently protect civilian and governmental infrastructure?
Richard Lawrence: Traditional ATC radar is designed to detect large targets at relatively long range. Drones are often too small for these systems to detect or separate from the background clutter so they are effectively invisible.
As well as being small, drones tend to fly relatively slowly, at low altitudes and may have erratic and unpredictable flight paths. These factors compound the difficulty for traditional radar to detect drones or differentiate them from avian targets.
Unlike other traffic in controlled airspace, drones are rarely equipped to report their altitude so even if they were visible to ATC radar, there would be no reliable way to establish safe vertical separation.
In an urban environment, reflected energy from buildings and other structures produces high levels of static clutter which can overwhelm…
