Corrections facilities, prisons, and jails have been targeted by drone operators with nefarious intent to drop contraband and surveil security routines. Whether you call it counter-uas, anti-drone, drone detection, or airspace awareness, it is important to understand the threat from above your fence line. Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can introduce a range of challenges that jeopardize safety, order, and the effectiveness of a facility’s security posture.
