The coronavirus pandemic has led to a sharp increase in adoption of technology. For instance, there is a significant increase in the use of drones from delivering healthcare supplies, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
The use of drones for deliveries was shown to support China’s efforts for COVID-19 containment, and now critical workers in the U.S., including local law enforcement, are adopting drones to inspect and monitor the streets and ensure people are safe at home, according to the article.
There has also been a sharp increase in negative uses for drones, including increased reports of stalking, surveillance and nuisance-related events.
By integrating counter-drone technology into existing security systems, critical infrastructure security teams will understand when their airspace is at risk.
