Corrections Counter-UAS

Corrections Sector Advertise with Us! 1300x300

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-uasanti-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. 

The following resources have been curated by C-UAS Hub to provide information specific to the corrections environment.
