2019 AIRPORT SECURITY REPORT

Issue #1 Threat: Could what happened at Gatwick happen to us? Is this a security risk?

Issue #2 Economic Impact & Priority: What are the impacts? Should drone countermeasures be our top security priority?

Issue #3 FAA/Drone Policy/Operations: Shouldn’t this be an FAA problem?

What is our plan, are we going to shut down the airport every time a drone is detected?

Issue #4 Comparing Drone Mitigation Solutions: What technologies are available to monitor drones?

Issue #5 What are the benefits of Drone Detection Technology?

PART FOUR EVALUATING AND COMPARING DRONE DETECTION TECHNOLOGY As you are putting a drone security procedure in place, it is important to research and understand the following: Available drone detection technologies Possible limitations of drone detection Laws & Regulation: FAA rules/regulations, Federal/State Drone Laws The FAA defines a UAS “as an aircraft that is operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or on the aircraft (Public Law 112-95, Section 331(8)).” Since the FAA classifies UAS as an aircraft, it is illegal to intercept the device using a jammer or any type of brute force.

If you can detect the device and identify the drone operator, you can start the trail of obtaining actionable intelligence through standard investigative including: Due diligence investigation on the operator Background Checks: Are there previous known incidents against your venue with this person/drone?

Do they have a criminal history?

Are they affiliated with causes against your organization?

Social Media Checks: Are they posting drone flight video on social media accounts?

Are they posting grievance or violence towards your organization?

What kinds of groups are they affiliated with online?

Response to drone operator No trespass orders Legal remedies Social media monitoring Being able to identify and investigate the drone operator in real-time provides vital information to assess the threat, employ appropriate mitigation, and respond with legal actions.

911 SECURITY

Benefits of drone detection Drone detection technology allows airport operators to continuously scan the surrounding airspace for drones. The drone detection system rapidly identifies UAS communication links and provides telemetry data of the unmanned aircraft, such as: Drone location Drone pilot location Speed Path This real-time data stream helps security officials make informed decisions and responses as soon as possible. Security teams can capture and retain this data as evidence to take legal action against drone intruders.

Drone detections helps you: Identify drone and pilot activity Alert security team to the drone make, model, altitude, drone and pilot GPS location Improve reaction time by providing advanced warning and alerts Provide real-time monitoring of drone activity to allow actionable intervention Record and maintains data to use as evidence

Security directors and airport operators must put policies in place to deal with drone incidents Everyone from a baggage handler to the head of security needs to know what to do when an incident occurs

2

Airports must work with the FAA and seek approval to install passive AS countermeasures Per FAA and other federal regulations, radar detection is unauthori ed for airport use eputable drone detection providers will survey your location and provide or day trials

3

Multi layered drone detection solutions provide airports with the situational awareness to handle non compliant drones, assess the level of risk, and make real time decisions regarding venue and event safety Detection is critical each second counts when it comes to safety
