On 5 February 2025, the NAG (Netherlands Aerospace Group), in cooperation with Dutch Drone Delta, is organising a session on the growing impact of unmanned aircraft on airports and critical digital infrastructure. During the event, industry leaders, technology suppliers and policymakers will come together to explore how dual-use technology, drone monitoring and cyber-resilience strategies can be combined to strengthen the security of airports and Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems. The session will focus on the role of digital system providers capable of fusing sensor and radar sources into actionable operational information for improved situational awareness and a coordinated response.

For whom

This event is intended for professionals working in or involved with aviation safety, ATM, digital infrastructure, drone technology, cybersecurity, policy development and critical infrastructure.
