Defending the Edge: AI-Powered Perimeter Security in an Era of Drone Threats

AI is redefining perimeter security as drones turn the airspace into a new frontline—forcing organizations to rethink what it truly means to defend the edge. This session explores how AI-driven sensing, analytics, and counter-UAS technologies are converging to deliver real-time, multidimensional protection across air, ground, and digital domains.

Summary

Perimeter security is undergoing a rapid transformation as AI reshapes how organizations detect, assess, and respond to emerging threats—most notably the rise of small, inexpensive, and highly maneuverable drones. Traditional physical security systems were designed to detect ground-based intrusions along fixed lines, but today’s adversaries can exploit the airspace, bypassing fences, cameras, and patrol routes with unprecedented ease. This shift has compelled security leaders to reassess the concept of the “edge” as a multidimensional perimeter that necessitates continuous, intelligent monitoring.

AI-powered sensing and analytics now serve as force multipliers, enabling faster recognition of anomalous aerial behavior, improved classification of drone types, and automated escalation workflows. Modern systems fuse video, radar, RF analytics, and thermal data to deliver real-time situational awareness that human operators alone cannot achieve. As regulations evolve and drone usage—both legitimate and malicious—continues to scale, organizations must integrate dynamic, adaptive capabilities to identify threats while minimizing false alarms and operational disruptions.

The convergence of AI, autonomous detection, and counter-UAS technologies marks a pivotal moment for critical infrastructure, public venues, and private-sector facilities alike. Defending the edge now requires a holistic approach that accounts for all three domains— air, ground, and digital—simultaneously.
