Technologies to Detect and Protect
From Drone Detection to Defensible Decisions: Lessons from Protecting Belgium’s Critical Infrastructure
The latest technologies for detecting and predicting threats to critical national infrastructure span ground, land, underwater, space-based, and cyber domains, supported by advanced sensors and access control systems. Artificial intelligence increasingly enhances these capabilities by improving speed, accuracy, and cross-domain analysis of threat signals. New, developing systems and solutions enable earlier detection, better prediction, and stronger situational awareness across interconnected infrastructure systems.
