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. Learn what it means for law enforcement, critical infrastructure, and community protection

Airports operate as some of the most complex logistical hubs in the world. On any given day, tens of thousands of flights, millions of passengers, and critical cargo depend on tightly choreographed movements of aircraft, ground crews, and security teams. 

Achieving true security in today’s complex airspace requires much more than individual components—it demands a flexible, intelligent, and deeply integrated platform. DroneShield leads the field by engineering solutions that fuse cutting-edge technologies from top industry partners into a robust, unified counter-drone defence system.

Growth in drone technology has set a new standard in modern warfare, and DroneShield’s SentryCiv is the new standard for airspace security via passive drone defence. To meet this growing concern, it’s not enough to simply design a solution that tackles the problems of today, rather, the technology must continually adapt to be effective. 

DroneShield grew from a small Australian start-up to a leading global counter-drone technology company, expanding across defense, public safety, and critical infrastructure sectors in the US, Europe, and beyond.

The modern battlefield is evolving faster than at any time in recent memory. As unmanned aerial systems (UAS) continue to proliferate—from state adversaries to irregular actors—the U.S. Air Force has recognized the urgent need to strengthen its counter-drone and air defense capabilities.

Australia is emerging as a global centre of excellence in counter-drone technology. From the battlefields of Ukraine to the skies above crowded public events, uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) are transforming both modern conflict and civil security.

Enforcing compliance with drone regulations is not just a matter of robust public policy—it requires advanced counter-unmanned aerial system (CUAS) technology to detect and mitigate potential threats. As the UAE refines its drone regulations, solutions like DroneShield’s CUAS technology can play a crucial role in supporting authorities.

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.

The recent surge of drone sightings in New Jersey has captured national attention, raising questions about security, public perception, and the evolving role of drones in our airspace.
