RegulAIR's main objective is to provide new research-based knowledge to Norwegian and EU regulatory bodies to assist them in ensuring the safe integration of drones into civilian airspace.
The Norwegian Ministry of Defense has awarded funding to the project proposal 'Counter-Drone Systems: Implications for Norway in an EU and NATO Context'. PRIO Senior Researcher Bruno Oliveira Martins will head the project. Arthur Holland Michel from the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College will also contribute.
The need for counter-drone systems has become apparent with a recent rash of incidents at airports, where a simple drone can shut down the entire facility. But the implications for greater threats, such as terrorism and warfare, are even more pressing.
