Enabling Autonomous Airspace Security with PI System (Airspace Systems)
Off-the-shelf drones that can be modified to wreak havoc are available on Amazon for as little as a few hundred dollars. These tiny flying machines can travel up to 75 mph, be launched more than 25 miles away from their target, and are easy to program so no remote control is needed to fly them, making them fully autonomous, radio-free and jam-proof. As a result, the use of weaponized drones – whether for espionage, injury, damage, or disruption – is a very real and growing problem for critical infrastructure in general and the Transmission & Distribution industry specifically. In this session, Airspace Systems’ CTO Guy Bar-Nahum will discuss the threat rogue drones pose to the Transmission & Distribution industry and detail how Airspace real-time data from multiple sensors, coupled with artificial intelligence and machine learning, can be integrated into PI systems.
