On 10 March 2026, NAG will organize the event in collaboration with Dutch Drone Delta 'Smart and Secure Airports: Strengthening Cyber and Drone Resilience'. This session will bring together industry leaders, technology suppliers and policymakers to explore how dual-use technologies, drone monitoring and cyber resilience strategies can be combined to strengthen the security of airports and air traffic management (ATM) systems. This event is supported by Holland High Tech's MIT Network Activities (MIT NA) programme.

Unmanned aircraft activity is becoming an increasingly important consideration for airports and critical digital infrastructure. This event is organised in collaboration with Dutch Drone Delta, the national public-private ecosystem for drone and advanced air mobility innovation in the Netherlands. Dutch Drone Delta brings together government bodies, airports, knowledge institutes and industry partners to enable safe, scalable and socially responsible drone operations.

Topics covered during this event:

• Managing and mitigating drone intrusion in controlled airspace.
• Integrating drone and sensor data into ATM and airport operations.
• Building cyber resilience across aviation and other critical infrastructure sectors.
• Bridging civil and defense perspectives on dual-use technologies.

For whom

Industry leaders, technology suppliers and policymakers in the field of aviation and aerospace technology.
