Countering the UAS Threat in the United States and Europe

About the Webinar

Uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) represent an emerging threat to mass gatherings, critical infrastructure facilities and other sites. Careless recreational drone users can be a dangerous nuisance, while bad actors pose a serious threat to life and property. Counter-UAS options remain very limited, as authorities in the United States, the European Union and around the world sharply restrict who can deploy defenses against the devices. This joint webinar between the Security Industry Association (SIA) and the Confederation of European Security Services (CoESS) will examine:

• The UAS threat in Europe and the United States
• The counter-UAS legal and regulatory environment in Europe and the U.S.
• The evolution of UAS threats, vulnerabilities and solutions
• Industry needs and recommendations

Speakers:

• Valerio Liberatori, policy officer, Counter-Terrorism Unit, Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs, European Commission
• Cornelius Toussaint, CEO, CONDOR Group Germany
• Brett Feddersen, vice president, strategy and government affairs, D-Fend Solutions; chair, SIA Drone Security Subcommittee
