operate in isolation and fail to integrate.
This is where unification plays a crucial role.
Advanced sensors capable of detecting an
aerial or land-based perimeter incursion,
such as thermal cameras, seismic sensors,
radars, LiDARs, radio frequency, and
other standalone systems, are growing in
popularity. But these systems work better
when combined into one solution, so that
it brings all relevant information back to
the operator – this provides mission-critical
information to help them react quickly and
mount a more informed response.
The real value of these unified systems is
that they do all the heavy lifting, leaving the
system operator with the final decision on
the best response to take.
drone operator must legally provide
identification and location information of
their unmanned aircraft. Until this comes
into effect, organisations and government
agencies will struggle to accurately identify
drones and deter those that are a real
security threat."
Detection technologies and
countermeasures
Drones present an additional element
to perimeter security, but the basic
requirements remain the same. Physical
security teams must be confident in their
ability to quickly detect, track, classify,
and respond to unauthorised intruders
or objects of possible concern. They must
not be overwhelmed by false alarms or
be hampered by technology systems that

This document was based on discussions
in a webinar session titled "Detect, Defeat,
Deactivate: Protect Your Perimeter From
Drone Threats". Watch the recording here.
With more and more
drones entering
Europe's airspace each
month, it's crucial for
physical security teams
to incorporate drone
management into their
perimeter security plan.
Teams should also explore
the benefits of unification
so that security operators
have a single version of the
truth and a real overview
of their environment.
