Managing Drone Threats to Critical Infrastructure

How do we build a society that can withstand crises, attacks, and unexpected disruptions? A More Resilient Society is a major strategic initiative at NTNU that brings together interdisciplinary expertise and innovative thinking to address complex and societally important challenges. In total, 16 PhD candidates will collaborate across faculties and academic disciplines, focusing on critical societal infrastructure and health preparedness. The aim is to produce research that challenges established assumptions and contributes to a safer and more resilient society.

A more resilient society is increasingly dependent on robust critical infrastructure across different sectors. The geopolitical situation in Europe, including experiences from war and hybrid threats, shows that critical infrastructure can be deliberately targeted using low-cost, commercially available technology, especially drones. 
There is a need for knowledge and solutions on how to prevent damage to critical infrastructure caused by drone attacks. The threat landscape, technological development, and resilience capabilities are changing rapidly. This increases the demand for research-based innovation and rapid adaptation.
