The Aerospace Corporation Demos Counter-Drone Technology for Security Organizations

El Segundo, Calif. (Feb. 11, 2016) – The Aerospace Corporation recently gave a demonstration of counter-drone technology for a group of organizations that control critical infrastructure.

The demonstration was held at a meeting of the Los Angeles Regional Unmanned and Autonomous Systems Working Group, which is a Los Angeles regional group co-hosted by Aerospace and the Department of Homeland Security. Group members include several federal, state, and local public safety officials and critical infrastructure owners and operators, among others. The goal of the group is to collaborate to address the threat from drones, and to also support the development of drone applications that can aid security. It provides a forum to discuss the latest drone incidents, investigate new drone applications, and form partnerships to conduct joint tests and pilot programs.
