How Drone Compromises the Security of Critical Infrastructures?
Drones can cause harm to critical infrastructures like power plants, airports, and certain memorials of national importance. UAVs operated by unauthorized users not only compromise the security of infrastructures but also the civilians present there.
Disrupting Critical Operations
Criminals may use drones to disrupt key activities of the critical infrastructures. For example, they can intentionally shut off the power or attract unwanted attention to do something more hazardous.
Smuggling
In recent years, offenders have used drones in crimes like smuggling unlawful substances or items in critical facilities. This unauthorized access to the critical infrastructure can cause issues like damage to the infrastructure or systems, and illegal activities inside the infrastructure.
Unauthorized Surveillance
Drones are crucial tools for criminal activities like unwanted surveillance. Unauthorised surveillance can be a part of planned espionage activities. All of these harm the security and integrity of infrastructures of importance.
