Operating, detecting and mitigating drones in a dense urban environment is not only hard but extremely complex. This is not only true for combat zones but can also include large city environments. Security professionals charged with protecting public space, specifically critical infrastructure and large mass gathering venues, should take some time to understand the difference between what the Israel-Hamas War and the Ukraine-Russia War have shown the world as it pertains to small uncrewed aircraft system (sUAS) operations and their impacts. Keep in mind that “key and complex terrain” exists in urban settings – power, water, communications and transportation nodes, to name a few. Let’s explore how this comparison works and the preventive steps that can be taken to support mitigating risk in these verticals.
