The ineffable influence of the technological evolution<\/strong> in all facets of life is as obvious as it is unpredictable in most cases. A clear example of this is the appearance, development and boom of the drones for civilian use<\/strong>. They have burst into today's society with applications ranging from strictly recreational use to productive use (filming, security, inspections, messaging, communication, etc.).<\/p>\n

A number of countries are in the process of developing effective legislation to curb the indiscriminate or uncontrolled use of drones.<\/h5>\n

There is no doubt that drones bring a good number of benefits to the solutions to everyday needs<\/strong> and they have opened the doors to new applications such as Advanced air mobility<\/a>, where the integration of urban drones demands new regulatory and infrastructural frameworks, uses, and even professional developments that were unknown, or nonexistent, just a few years ago. But they have also become a risk<\/strong> for certain activities, which now see their presence as a potential threat.<\/p>\n

In the case of airports, we have recently experienced several incidents involving aeroplanes and drones. In all cases, without exception, the recklessness or culpability for the incidents has fallen on the part of the drones, while the risk to safety has affected the aeroplanes. The management of these incidents falls to the teams ofAirport operations and operational safety<\/a>, responsible for maintaining the HSEO protocols and emergency plans<\/p>\n

To complicate matters further, most of these situations occur during landing or take-off manoeuvres, times when the workload in the cockpit is greater and, therefore, the stress on crews is higher. In the United States, for example, 241 incidents involving drones and aircraft have been identified in the last year. Something similar is happening in the rest of the world, with episodes of some seriousness documented in the airports of Paris, London, Santiago, Bilbao, Rome and Athens, to name but a few.<\/p>\n

A number of countries are immersed in the development of effective legislation<\/strong> to curb the indiscriminate or uncontrolled use of these small aircraft, especially in high-risk environments such as airports. Some countries have already been regulating their use for a number of years. But that is not all. Aviation authorities and organisations are also focusing on other collateral actions such as prevention and detection.<\/p>\n

In the context of the prevention<\/strong>In addition to the existence and compliance of the drone pilot with the law, the installation of devices and software to prevent them from entering sensitive airspace and inhibiting their capabilities is being tested.<\/p>\n

With regard to the detection<\/strong> the range of solutions is wider. The first challenge is to have reliable instruments to locate them. Next, the actions proposed (some of which are already in use) range from the use of birds of prey to capture or shoot down the drone to net launchers to catch them in flight.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, so far the incidents have not escalated. It is precisely at this time when it is necessary to make every effort to avoid episodes that we may regret in the future. Moreover, the number of drones is growing all the time.<\/p>\n
