About This Course
Drones present a dual reality for modern utilities: they are powerful operational tools and potential security threats. How do you build a program that harnesses the full benefits of UAS technology while safeguarding your critical infrastructure from new aerial risks?

In this webinar, we’ll introduce an integrated strategy for total airspace control. First, we will explore how to establish a secure perimeter by deploying advanced airspace monitoring. You will learn how to detect, track, and identify unauthorized drones in real time, providing the situational awareness needed to protect your assets from aerial intrusions and maintain operational integrity.

With a secure airspace established, we will then demonstrate how to maximize the value of your own drone fleet. We’ll walk through the capabilities of a centralized command platform that enables secure, remote piloting from anywhere. Discover how to conduct routine inspections and respond to outages more efficiently by launching drones from a central hub, gathering critical visual data without dispatching crews to the field.
