Drones are increasingly used to smuggle contraband such as drugs, weapons, cell phones, and other prohibited items into facilities. These deliveries bypass traditional security measures, undermining the visibility into the airspace.

Drones equipped with cameras can conduct unauthorized surveillance, mapping infrastructure layouts, identifying vulnerabilities, and assisting in espionage.

Wireless signals delivered by drones enable unauthorized communication between external parties, facilitating potential unauthorized activities both inside and outside.

Coordinated drone swarms can overwhelm security personnel, serving as a distraction for larger bad actor attempts or coordinated attacks.

Drones can be weaponized or used to deliver explosive devices, creating direct threats to public safety.
