The energy sector faces a new and imminent challenge, the proliferation and fast-growing evolution of drone technology. Without sufficient safeguards in place, the energy sector will remain vulnerable to the malicious consequences of drone misuse. The only solution is incorporating a layered counter-UAS approach to situational awareness and response preparedness.

For years, "drone risk" was treated as a nuisance. In 2026, that assumption no longer holds. Our latest blog examines how drone threats have evolved, why traditional security models struggle to keep pace, and what "credible" airspace risk look like now for airports, utilities, ports, stadiums, and other high-visibility environments.

With the passage of the Safer Skies Act under NDAA, counter-drone authority is no longer theoretical for public safety agencies. This legislation enables real-world airspace protection, clearer procurement pathways, and mission-ready C-UAS operations.

It is critical to note that current legislation does not adequately address emerging threats such as smuggling, espionage, or malicious use of drones against critical infrastructure.
