Drone Awareness and Management: How to Mitigate Threats to Critical Infrastructure

By Grant Jordan

PHOTO: ISTOCK

With drone technology advancing rapidly and costs plummeting, drones have seamlessly integrated into a multitude of sectors, ranging from photography and agriculture to disaster response and military applications.

The number of drones operating in the skies above the U.S. has gone from 277,000 in 2018 to over 1.1 million drones registered in 2023.

Drones bring about exciting opportunities for us as a society, from retail and medical delivery to property maintenance and inspection. However, as with any technology, there is a flip side: the potential misuse of drones in the form of security threats to critical infrastructure. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, the need to monitor and mitigate these threats has never been more pressing. Any disruption to these vital systems can have catastrophic consequences, affecting public safety, economic stability, and overall well-being. Drones, due to their agility, stealthiness, and ability to carry payloads, have emerged as a potential tool for those with nefarious intentions.

The Rising Threat Landscape

Given the expanding use of drones, critical infrastructure facilities must take proactive measures to address the hazards stemming from heedless or malevolent drone operators. They can be used for espionage, smuggling contraband, carrying explosive payloads, or causing physical damage to critical infrastructure. The anonymity and ease of drone operation empower both state and non-state actors to exploit vulnerabilities in security systems.

The widespread availability of drones opens a misconception that anyone using a drone for criminal activity must be considered a highly sophisticated threat, but that’s not necessarily true. Some threats are presented in a fairly straightforward manner, and with the right technology, drone usage can be quickly and easily detected and tracked, even to the point of knowing where the drone originated and its current flight path. This technology also can pinpoint the drone operator’s location, allowing authorities to take the necessary steps to subdue the threat. Implementing a robust drone detection network is essential to counter this emerging threat.

Airspace awareness is an important part of critical infrastructure monitoring. With it, users are kept informed of their airspace and are quickly alerted to the presence of unauthorized drone activity that could disrupt services, whether from negligent drone operators or those looking to plot and carry out an act of terrorism on the facility. Drone awareness solutions provide the critical data to create the most robust view of drone operations, including historical flights and patterns of behavior across an interconnected network of detection areas. By leveraging drone defense security solutions for critical infrastructure, users can remain aware of their airspace to protect the crew and the facility.

Monitoring for Early Detection

A system designed to spot and monitor drones is essential for safeguarding against illicit drone operations. An inclusive monitoring system should be cloud-based, combining radio frequency (RF) sensors with the intelligence capability to see historical data, real-time information, and forensics. These elements are essential to detect and trace numerous potential risks from drones.

Implementing a drone awareness solution offers several advantages for safeguarding critical infrastructure:

1. Early Threat Detection: By providing real-time alerts, the network enables swift response to unauthorized drone activity, allowing security personnel to initiate appropriate countermeasures promptly.

2. Enhanced Situational Awareness: An inclusive monitoring service enhances situational awareness by providing a complete view of drone activities. This enables security teams to analyze patterns, identify potential threats, and develop effective response strategies based on historical information.

3. Minimized Disruptions: By detecting drones before they reach certain facilities, the network minimizes disruptions to ongoing operations, allowing for continuous productivity and maintaining safety standards.

4. Scalability and Integration: Leveraging a drone detection monitoring network allows for scalability and integration with existing security systems. This flexibility lends itself to seamless integration into the overall security infrastructure.

Detection and Tracking

Data pulled from the inclusive monitoring system is invaluable to help accurately ascertain the location of the drone operator, aiding the appropriate authorities in detaining the operator and mitigating the danger. A monitoring system ensures that real-time alerts to the chain of command status are conveyed through automated text messages and online notifications disseminated across the entire organization. Moreover, by scrutinizing the historical movement patterns of a drone, users can gain valuable insights into its customary flight paths, identifying recurring and habitual violators of airspace regulations. This paves the way for devising the necessary strategies to counter future threats, including the immediate generation of legally viable reports shortly after an incident.

To safeguard critical infrastructure from potential threats, a cloud-based system is necessary. This includes employing cutting-edge detection systems, refining measures against rogue drone activity, and fostering international collaboration to share best practices.

A drone monitoring system is equipped to pinpoint and track unsanctioned drone operations, thereby neutralizing threats and bestowing critical infrastructure facilities with the ability to regulate and safeguard their airspace. This proactive stance will augment security for some of the world's most precious assets, ensuring uninterrupted operations and affording reassurance to those overseeing critical infrastructure in an increasingly drone-saturated environment.

The Role of Regulations and Collaboration

In the near future, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will mandate that all unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) requiring registration are in compliance with the UAS Remote Identification (Remote ID) standard. Remote ID allows drone operators to broadcast their ID number, location and altitude, drone velocity, takeoff location, elevation, and a timestamp while the aircraft is in flight. This data allows approved public safety organizations to identify the aircraft owner without revealing personally identifiable information (PII) in the public domain.

While this is a step forward in safeguarding our skies, there remains a need to define the next step of how law enforcement can mitigate risks effectively. While systems are monitoring the airspace, they need to have the ability to pull value and historical data along with the real-time information received.

Looking Ahead

Education and awareness are essential in navigating the evolving landscape of drone threats and their management. As drones continue to transform industries, they also challenge us to rethink security paradigms. To safeguard critical infrastructure from potential threats, a cloud-based system is necessary. This includes employing cutting-edge detection systems, refining measures against rogue drone activity, and fostering international collaboration to share best practices. By staying ahead of potential threats, we can ensure that the skies remain safe, allowing us to harness the benefits of drone technology without compromising our critical infrastructure’s integrity.

Advancing Winter Weather Prediction in North Dakota: The GrandSKY Weather Service

By Tom Swoyer and Don Berchoff

Weather in North Dakota is dynamic, characterized by its unpredictability and rapid fluctuations. The region experiences diverse climatic conditions, with winters that can be particularly challenging for aviation. One area that faces these challenges headon is the Grand Forks Air Force Base, home of the GrandSKY Business and Aviation Park. This year, an unprecedented collaboration between GrandSKY, TruWeather Solutions, and Meteomatics AG is poised to transform weather prediction, bringing more precise and accurate data to Grand Forks this winter through the Grand Sky Weather Service.

Challenges and Solutions

Satellite data has long been a staple in weather forecasting, but it comes with its own set of limitations. Factors like cloud cover and variations in water vapor

levels can introduce inaccuracies into satellite data. In cases where data is incomplete, traditional forecasting methods often resort to approximations and estimations, introducing go/no go uncertainties, especially in critical operations. The challenges of overcoming data gaps below 5,000 ft present an even greater challenge when dealing with dynamic and rapidly changing conditions.

The collaboration between GrandSKY, TruWeather Solutions, and Meteomatics AG seeks to overcome these challenges by developing a robust data collection system. By bridging observational gaps with localized and real-time information, this partnership aims to significantly reduce uncertainties in what is happening now and what will happen in the future, providing stakeholders with the certainty they need to make informed decisions and reduce the number of flight cancellations and delays.

GrandSKY: A Visionary Initiative

The core principle driving GrandSKY is the utilization of realtime data collection, anchored by the cutting-edge capabilities of a Meteomatics Meteodrone, the nation's first drone-based weather data collection tool conducting routine launches to support mission critical flight operations. This cutting-edge system is set to redefine how weather data is collected, analyzed, and forecasted in the Grand Forks region. These flights are designed to capture vertical measurements of crucial weather parameters, including temperature, pressure, moisture, and wind. Moreover, the drone's capabilities extend to detecting icing phenomena within cloud layers up to an altitude of 16,900 feet. This granular data collection process not only refines weather forecasts but also offers insights into otherwise invisible and complex weather patterns. The influx of microscale data informs a 1-kilometer resolution weather model, a ninefold increase in granularity compared to existing services. This level of detail will reduce weather-related cancellations, and safely increase the number of flight operations for commercial partners at the GrandSKY Business and Aviation Park.

Empowering Decision-Making: TruWeather's V360 Analytics

The heart of any accurate weather forecasting system lies in its ability to process and analyze complex data sets. TruWeather Solutions' V360 Weather Workbook and machine-to-machine data transfers are integral to the GrandSKY Weather Service. The power

of this SaaS platform facilitates seamless data exchange. These tools empower stakeholders with improved decision insights, ensuring better mission-critical decisions for operations conducted within the GrandSKY and Grand Forks AFB areas. Don Berchoff, CEO of TruWeather Solutions, aptly puts it, "Together, we've developed a robust weather data collection system unlike anything else in the country, so we can bring high-accuracy weather forecasts to Grand Sky." This sentiment encapsulates the transformative journey underway, where innovation meets collaboration to conquer the challenges posed by North Dakota's dynamic winters.

The Vision Ahead: Integrating Technology and Realizing Benefits

Weather forecasting is the new frontier for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. The future holds the promise of continually improving the accuracy of weather predictions. Beyond the immediate applications for aviation, this collaboration highlights a broader trend in the integration of weather data. The successful integration of such technologies into airspace is essential and will lead to the realization of benefits across other various sectors, including ground transportation, agriculture, energy, and commerce.

Planning for Progress

How States Can Prepare Today For the Future of Advanced Aviation

By Scott Shtofman

Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) tracked all legislation regarding drones and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) introduced during this year’s state legislative sessions.

As a part of our Drone Prepared initiative, the Association for Uncrewed

We found that 2023 was an incredibly active year, with Texas, New York, and Florida the most engaged states on these topics. Nationwide, nearly 200 measures were introduced from January to June, when most states are in session. Recurring topics included operations over critical infrastructure, pre-

venting contraband delivery, use by law enforcement and first responders, and study committees. Country of origin bans and AAM infrastructure also stood out as two emerging areas of interest this year.

As they address these issues and more – and to prepare states to harness the benefits of the growing drone industry – AUVSI recommends that state and local lawmakers adhere to four principles.

First, lawmakers should look for

Commercial drone operations are already providing essential services to the American public, and hold immense promise to simultaneously provide even more workforce, economic and environmental benefits as they expand to serve more communities.

opportunities to promote drone use for public benefit by ensuring that relevant programs can be applied to drones and incorporating them into government activities.

The 2023 session saw several states proactively introducing measures that promote the use of emerging technologies, encourage state agency use, and create and fund pilot programs or other drone programs.

Budgets passed in Arizona, Florida, Kansas, Michigan, North Dakota, Texas, and Washington provide funding for the purchase of drones by state agencies, state drone programs, or the development of drone and AAM infrastructure. Other examples include bills like Florida HB 1264 to allow Departments of Agriculture to use drones to eradicate plant or animal diseases.

These measures position state agencies as leaders in leveraging drones to provide public benefit and preparing their state for intentional integration of AAM into their transportation planning.

Second, state and local lawmakers should leave air navigation and aviation safety to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Federal authority over the airspace is a bedrock principal of aviation law in the U.S. and is one of the reasons why we enjoy the safest airspace in the world.

Federal preemption prevents a patchwork of conflicting state laws that would erode safety, divide the airspace, and hinder

operations. It also provides certainty for industry, which reduces apprehension about expanding into new geographic service areas or market verticals.

Released in July, FAA’s Updated UAS Fact Sheet (2023) on State and Local Regulation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems resolutely establishes the FAA as the sole regulator of the airspace, no matter the altitude. While a truth is already established, the updated restatement upholds preemption at low level airspace. This is important for state lawmakers because it means that, before considering new legislation to regulate the use of drones, they should first examine if the proposed regulations are preempted.

Third, legislators should leverage existing law to address actions involving drones. Relying on existing statutes can streamline regulations and prevent the need for new legislation.

One area where this stood out in the 2023 sessions included measures to restrict drone flights around critical infrastructure and correctional facilities, with 19 measures introduced in ten states. The result is often the creation of “no-fly zones,” hindering legitimate commercial drone operations.

Another ongoing area of concern we tracked was trespass and privacy, with twelve measures introduced in eleven states to restrict flight over private property. These bills are harmful for drone operators as a form of airspace restriction and a violation of federal airspace laws.

While concerns are valid, these issues are largely already addressed in state statutes. Almost all states already have laws banning trespass, voyeurism, or the delivery of contraband – and these laws are no less applicable to drones. For example, Wyoming passed SF 32 this year, which prohibits the use of drones to deliver items to a correctional facility. However, under Wyoming Statute 6-5-213, the delivery of contraband is already prohibited, making the measure unnecessary.

The FAA UAS Fact Sheet further supports our recommendation, stating that:

“Many of these state and local concerns are already addressed by laws that regulate ground-based conduct not involving UAS and such laws often can be applied to UAS.”

AUVSI’s final recommendation is that lawmakers exercise caution when regulating drone activity beyond what already exists in state code. The industry is rapidly evolving and expanding, and it is important that legislative language is not overly specific as to block innovation or become outdated.

To avoid hasty regulations that could have unintended consequences, legislators should take the time to gather the input of industry and the public. Ultimately, lawmakers should consider whether their actions will support economic investment, job creation, and increased access to communities.

For example, this year in Missouri a measure was introduced that would prohibit flight over private property within a 400foot vertical distance. As this is the airspace in which drones operate, the measure, in addition to being federally preempted, was paramount to a prohibition on drone flight. Fortunately, the bill’s sponsors listened to industry concerns and accepted suggestions on the problematic language, removing the overflight provision and adding a commercial exemption – ultimately producing that did not ground the commercial drone industry.

By following these pillars of good governance with respect to UAS, lawmakers from around the country can ensure that their state or city is ready for the future of advanced aviation and the numerous benefits that drones, and eventually AAM, will bring to their communities.
