Recently, Echodyne CTO and Founder Tom Driscoll was featured as a guest on the BBC World Service Tech Life podcast. BBC News Senior Technology Reporter Graham Fraser sat down with Tom and other innovators within the drone space to get a sense of how the industry is managing all the uncrewed aircraft that are entering the skies and the emerging use cases of drones.  As industry continues to reimagine the airspace, filling it with everything from drone for delivery to air taxis to drones for public safety response (aka DFR), stakeholders have to figure out a way to manage the traffic proliferating the skies – both legal and illegal flying activity. On the Tech Life podcast, Tom talks about the criticality of radar for helping ensure that operators have the situational awareness necessary to safely navigate throughout the airspace. Tom further explains why radar is the “only real contender” in the world of sensors that requires detection of both cooperative and uncooperative air traffic. “Radars are mandatory in airports, they’re mandatory for conducting all airspace operations and as we think about a future where the airspace becomes significantly more populated, that role, that criticality of radar sensors, is only going to increase.” >>> Listen to the full episode of BBC Tech Life here (segment on drones begins at 11:03): https://lnkd.in/eidM-HZi #Drones #DroneDetection #AirspaceSafety #SituationalAwareness #Radar #DronesForGood 

In a recent piece in the Miami Herald from reporter Vinod sreeharsha, Echodyne’s ground-based radar technology was highlighted as part of Miami International Airport’s (MIA) new, groundbreaking perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS). Together with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Miami Dade Aviation Dept, and other tech vendors, this new system integrates radar, LiDAR, video surveillance, and fiber optics to enhance security outside the terminal. As the first U.S. airport with this advanced multi-layered system, MIA now has a faster, more responsive capability to detect and deter intrusions, supporting one of the nation’s busiest international hubs.

While drones enhance perimeter security, they also present a rising threat as criminals use them to smuggle contraband into prisons. In the article, "Drones: Both an Emerging Threat and Asset for Correctional Facilities," published in Corrections Today, an American Correctional Association magazine, experts Joel Anderson and David Lewin stress the need for radar and multi-layered defenses to counter both conventional and "dark" drones.

As drones increasingly pose threats or opportunities for security, radar is proving a vital tool for airspace awareness and safety. Whether you're protecting critical infrastructure from nefarious drones or leveraging drones for advanced Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) security operations, radar acts as a trusted electronic observer, providing reliable detection of all drones in all lighting and weather conditions. Discover how radar enhances safety, scalability, and operational efficiency for drone programs across security, logistics, and public safety >>> https://lnkd.in/g4b-fNmX #SecurityInnovation #ElectronicObservers #DroneDetection #BVLOS #Radar

How can public safety agencies maximize the power of Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs? By integrating radar for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) missions, departments can extend coverage without sacrificing officer resources. Echodyne’s MESA® radar delivers unmatched accuracy, reliability, and 24/7 detect and avoid capabilities—helping first responders assess situations remotely and prioritize efficiently.
