The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the regulatory body for UK civil aviation, is to host a drone clinic as part of the Drone Zone demonstration area at IFSEC International.
The show organisers report that the CAA clinic will provide information and advice around drone regulations to the event’s 27,000 visitors next June.
As an opportunity to detect and assess security threats remotely, drones allow users to minimise risk and tackle threats more quickly and appropriately. The commercial market for drones and UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) is now estimated at over $700m. However, there have been plenty of documented cases where both commercial and consumer drones have infringed upon restricted airspace and aircraft flight paths, posing significant safety and security risks.
The CAA Drone Clinic will provide a point for clear, jargon-free information on must-know drone regulations for both security professionals already using drones and those considering the adoption of this technology.
IFSEC International runs from Tuesday to Thursday, June 19 to 21, 2018 at ExCeL, London Docklands.
