On this episode I sat down with Martin Lanni and discussed the decision-chain for Counter-UAS, education in the area, the current landscape and how customers in the Middle East test the effectiveness and assurance of Counter-UAS systems. While this isn't an introduction to Drone Security, it's more of a deep dive on the current UAS/CUAS security environment and hugely relevant to anyone in the space. MARTIN LANNI: Martin has an incredible background in all things aviation, from hunting submarines with the Royal Navy to daring Search and Rescue missions (over 500+!) across the UK. Martin has managed joint-taskforce Counter-Terrorism missions with NATO and played a major role in the massive-scale London Olympic Games 2012 security project. To say Martin is an aviation expert is truly an understatement; it was an honor to have him on board and discuss some of the key concepts in Drone Security today. Translating much of his experience to defending against maligned drones, Martin heads up Quantum Aviation as the CEO. Within drones, Martin has witnessed Counter-UAS technology stress-tested in the Middle East, designed decision-chain playbooks for reacting to malicious drones and educates various customers on the important concepts behind drone security. I love that although from a military background, Martin constantly eludes to prioritising innovation and warns against the over-regulation and restriction of the industry. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
