C-UAS in the CP Operational Landscape – Is it Being Considered?

Hi all,

I'm reaching out to the group with a genuine question around the role (or absence) of Counter-Drone (C-UAS) awareness in the current Close Protection operational landscape. This question is from a number of engagements I've had recently.

As someone who has worked in airspace safety and security at Gov level, I’ve seen a sharp rise in drone-related incidents across a range of sectors — from paparazzi-style intrusions and activist flyovers, to more concerning uses like hostile reconnaissance, harassment, and of course even payload delivery. This is in the UK, not theatre.

I’m therefore genuinely curious — are C-UAS considerations part of your planning and threat assessments?
Or are drones still seen as an edge-case or "someone else’s problem"?

If they’re not being factored in, is it due to:
  • Lack of awareness or perceived relevance?
  • Budget or logistical constraints?
  • Uncertainty around what a practical response would look like?
  • Legal concerns around interdiction or detection?
I would really welcome any thoughts and honest discussions around this — this isn’t a sales pitch or veiled promotion, just trying to understand what the blockers are from your side of the fence, and where the knowledge/practical gaps might be.

Thanks in advance,
Steven

It's not new to the security world. imho it is worthwhile learning more about the limitations of drones. We are all aware of the american all thinking all dancing lethal bits of kit. Many of us, myself included will actively seek out more information on drones and the companies employing them.
