DESCRIPTION:Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or drones cannot be ignored in ou
 r society. They are easily available and relatively cheap. Their applicati
 ons vary from “toy” to inspection\, from observation to delivery. Howe
 ver\, UAS also have a high potential for criminals and terrorists. For cri
 minals\, they are well suited for observation or smuggling of goods like d
 rugs &amp\; weapons. For terrorists\, UAS is also well suited. A single dr
 one can disrupt airport operations. Little imagination is needed to see th
 e potential for attacks on high-value targets and critical infrastructure.
  Within the realm of UAS detection\, tracking\, and identification (DTI)\,
  seven types of technologies are typically employed: radars\, visible ligh
 t cameras\, thermal imaging cameras\, infrared sensors\, laser distance fi
 nders (lidars)\, frequency monitoring devices\, and acoustic sensors. Yet\
 , individual systems often falter in delivering adequate protection under 
 realistic conditions\, prompting the common practice of employing a combin
 ation of sensor technologies. This webinar will give an overview and discu
 ss each of these detection methodologies\, informing the audience about th
 e advantages and disadvantages of these systems and showing how their perf
 ormance can be assessed.\n\nSpeaker(s): GEERT\, \n\nVirtual: https://event
