Session 1202 The Threat from Unmanned Vehicles April 22, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Bruce E. Wimmer, CPP, CHS-III James A. Acevedo, CPP, CPS
3
Emerging Threats from Unmanned Vehicles Challenge: To Think “Outside of the Box”
5
Risk-based Approach Will examine Threats; potential Vulnerabilities; and Consequences Unmanned vehicles of all types: Aerial- based Land-based Water-based Combined Single vehicle or “swarms” “Outside of the Box”
6
▪ Terrorism ▪ Radical Cause-Oriented Groups (e.g. environmentalists) ▪ Criminal or State Controlled ▪ Theft ▪ Smuggling ▪ Robbery ▪ Kidnapping/Ransom/Extortion ▪ Business Espionage ▪ Invasion of Privacy Source of Threats
7
Platform for moving payload or delivering payload Aerial: Land-based: Ground-based vehicle or robot (e.g. security or cleaner) Disguised as toy or model Means:
8
Means: (continued) Water-based: Surface Underwater Both Disguised as toy or model
9
Means: (continued) Payload/Platform for: Explosives Gas or chemical Firearms Cameras (transmit or record/includes IR) Electronic intercept (e.g. audio) Ramming Cutting or severing
10
Challenge: Is this a “friend” or “foe”? Is this a toy, a threat or both? Is this willful or an accident?
11
Security related missions affected: Executive Protection IP/Trade Secrets Protection Supply Chain Security Perimeter Control (warehouse, manufacturing facility, high- rise/office, residence, school, prison, military, critical infrastructure) Other Physical Security
12
Security related missions affected: (continued) Access Control Loss Prevention Passenger or Cargo Craft Security: Aerial (private aircraft, passenger aircraft, military) Land (automobiles, SUVs, armored/unarmored, trucks) Water (ferries, cargo, cruise, military)
13
Security related missions affected: We are now transitioning to examining Vulnerabilities!
14
Operational Considerations Airborne Obstacles 1. Wind 2. Wires 3. Trees 4. Other Moving Objects 5. Speed 6. Visibility / Detectability
15
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS “WHEN UNMANNED VEHICLES ARE OUTLAWED … ONLY THE OUTLAWS WILL HAVE UNMANNED VEHICLES”
17
LEGAL WHAT’S ▪ Differentiating GOOD V. BAD ▪ Do laws make a difference? – Only if you have power to enforce/apply meaningful penalties for violations ▪ DEFENSIVE COUNTER- MEASURES ▪ Legality of jamming, shooting
18
UNMANNED VEHICLES Affordable User Friendly Stable platform Programmable (even for a novice) Program a route using online mapping GPS Easily modified (instructions on YouTube) Camera Beer Gun Taser Anything
19
SYSTEMS AVAILABLE NOW Have on-board targeting system Systems can track via – Transmitter GPS waypoints Specific colors Phones Shapes Anything you can imagine
20
APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY IN USE Police Officers Surveillance Target Identification Security Officers/Maintenance Personnel Patrolling pipe-lines in Alaska Power lines in the Southern States Civilians Home movies Photography Media outlets
21
SYSTEMS AVAILABLE/UNDER DEVELOPMENT Fully autonomous unmanned vehicles/robots
