Multiple great applications

Securing Airports. A Convergence Approach 8
… but not always so great
UAS/RPAS have become a real and significant threat for infrastructures and people due to their errant or malicious use
Securing Airports. A Convergence Approach 9
Evolving and improving really fast
UAS Technology is improving fast to support new and more advanced technical features
Drone
Technology
Tx Range: 0.3-1.0Km
Only GPS
NO Obstacle Sensing Technology
Low number of embedded sensors
+5 yearsago
Tx Range: +8Km
Multiconstellation and Antispoofing
Obstacle Sensing Technology (360º)
Assitance based on Multiple sensor
Today
Automation and higher sophisticationare the main challenges
Great improvements are at the same time new challenges which increase the threat
Sense and Avoid
GNSS denied navigation Swarm coordinationHeavier cargo delivery
Sense and Attack
Non effective jamming & spoofing countermeasures
More sophisticatedattacks
More dangerous payloads

Airports:
An unique & specific case
Securing Airports. A Convergence Approach 11
General Framework
It is not the same
Civil vs. Military scenario
Critical vs. Non critical Infra
Small vs. Big area
Area with vs. without people
Urban vs. rural (open) scenario
Fixed vs. Mobile deployment
Each user and scenario requires specific considerations.
Simplicity, Adaptability and Scalability are key features of the solution to support this reality.
Securing Airports. A Convergence Approach 12
General Framework
It is not the same
Airports present really specific and unique challenges
“… we learned the airport environment presents a number of uniquechallenges to the use of technologies available for civil use”
(FAA, Counter UAS Airport Sponsor Letter, July 2018)
Conditioning the specific configuration and performance of any solution
Safety, Security and Efficiency restrictions
Coexistence with current infrastructure, processes and procedures
Performance needs and costs (Coverage distance, interferences, etc.)
Multiple stakeholders (Airport Manager, ANSPs, Security Forces, Air Force, Local Authorities, …)
Securing Airports. A Convergence Approach 13
1. InformationDrones are not detected by current surveillance systems, no informationis available about the location of the threat and the associated risks. This affects both security and safety.
2. Means to handle the threat
Once the drone is discovered, ANSPs and/or airports do not have means to evaluate the severity of the threat and to neutralize it (if required).
3. Coordination
Coordination between airport, security forces and ANSPs is needed to minimize the time necessary to resume air navigation services.
What are the
current
limitations
against this
threat?

The solution: A Convergence Approach

Global Overview: A Convergence Approach

Collaborative UAS
C-UAS Solution
>99% <1%
Errant or HostileNon collaborative (Bad Guys) Unmanned Aircraft Systems
Drones can be collaborative and non-collaborative
Securing Airports. A Convergence Approach 16
Indra proposes
Indra Air Drones Set of services, delivered jointly by one or more entities, that
allow the efficient, sustainable, safe and secure access and usage
of the airspace in which all kind of drones will perform different
kind of operations, in a safe way both for airspace users and
people and assets in the ground.
UTM
A Key contributor
to the solution,
focused on
collaborative UAS
Securing Airports. A Convergence Approach 17
Counter UAS: The last piece of the puzzle
Detection and Identification (D&I)Early detection and identification with one or multiple sensors
Analysis and Decision TakingAfter D&I, analysis of the threat-risk and Decision taking
Neutralization (If applicable)Countermeasures of detected and identified hazardous target(s)
Command and Control System

Securing Airports. A Convergence Approach 20
First step, let’s start with Situational Awareness
There is
technology ready
to detect and
identify small
drones in both
approach flight
paths and airport
perimeter
But we need to clarify non technical issues, such as:
Coordination protocol (steps, role)
Specific regulation (authority)
Certification
Standardization
Considering
C-UAS at
Airports
Airports have specific and unique challenges
Let’s be ready to face non collaborative “hostile UAS”. Solutions such as Remote ID are only a part of the solution
Convergence approach (ATM, UTM, C-UAS) is the key stone of the solution, including non technical issues (Coordination protocols, specific regulation, …)
There is technology ready to secure airports. Let’s consider a coordinated multi-stage plan
Indra can and wants to contribute to solve this complex puzzle
