Tracks: Facility Operations, Safety and Security
Rapidly changing technology for unmanned aircraft systems (drones) has made them smarter, more capable and more affordable than ever. Drones are increasingly being put to work to quickly and cheaply complete what were previously resource-intensive jobs and attractions are prime environments for reaping the benefits of these new systems. Drones are being used to streamline tasks such as ride and building inspections and security operations, dramatically increasing what can be monitored from the air. Discover the benefits of and concerns about the use of drones and how counter-drone technology can prevent this new development from being abused.
