Miami International Airport implements drone detection
The Miami International Airport (MIA) was selected by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as a test site for new drone detection technology. The drone detection technology includes detect, track and identify (DTI) equipment which will be used to identify unauthorized drones that enter restricted airspace.
MIA was chosen as a test site in part because there is already a “perimeter protection pilot” program being tested there, according to the TSA. The perimeter protection system, along with the DTI technology, are designed to protect the airport from ground and aerial intrusions.
