Countering Drone Threats at Critical Sites with Echodyne’s Leo McCloskey

Drones are transforming U.S. critical infrastructure—but not always for the better. While they make inspections of power lines, pipelines, and bridges faster and safer, rogue or malicious drones are an increasing threat to airports, energy grids, and government sites.

In this episode of SecurityDNA, SIW Editor-in-Chief Rodney Bosch sits down with Leo McCloskey, VP of Marketing at Echodyne, to explore the growing drone challenge. They discuss executive orders, the vital role of radar in counter-drone operations, how easy it is to buy—or even build—a drone, and strategies for protecting our most critical sites.
