Risk assessment for application of sensor technologies to overcoming the security risks of unmanned systems

This paper examines the vulnerabilities created by commercially available drone technology to facilities security and how a risk assessment process can be used to identify how the ability to secure a site is being transformed. This requires the transforming from 2D thinking and perimeter fencing to a 3D cage and identifying how sensors can be deployed to stem the vulnerabilities. The smuggling of contraband into prisons is used as an example along with others to stimulate thinking like an adversary for the risk assessment process.
