Drone Tuesday by 360PSA - Week 2

2 super interesting developments concerning drone warfare and the opportunity for private security players. 

It's Drone Tuesday at 360PSA, where we discuss the implications of drones for the private security industry.

1) Kalashnikov Group / АО "Концерн "Калашников"​ (Kalashnikov) has announced that it has developed an autonomous optical navigation system for drones, which will allow such drones to navigate accurately even in GPS-denied environments. 

This will be accomplished using onboard cameras, visual sensors, and advanced algorithms that process this data in real-time.

Numerous traditional counter-drone technologies work on jamming GPS signals. This will render them useless.

SKAT 350 Drones 👇 fitted with this technology are scheduled to undergo military trials soon.

2) Tonbo Imaging has developed Wavestrike – India’s First Deployable Gen-3 High-Power Microwave (HPM) System. 

Simply put, HPM systems induce high-voltage surges in the drone’s electronic circuits. This can jam communication, disable sensors, or completely fry the drone’s control system, making it crash.

Wavestrike 👇 has been developed to counter electronic threats, particularly drone swarms.

So what are the takeaways for private security players?

1) You must realise that technology evolves rapidly, much faster than one would anticipate.

2) Drone and counter-drone technologies are both BIG opportunities for private security providers. They are 2 sides of the same coin. 

3) The time to start learning about drones and how they can be integrated into your security business is NOW.

The cusp of transformation at which the private security industry is standing is your chance to make it BIG. 

So, seize the opportunity or cease to exist.
