In an effort to keep drones away from airports, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is continuing its detection research – this time at Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) Airport.
Drones – otherwise known as unmanned aircraft (UAS) -- that enter the airspace around airports can pose serious safety threats, which is why Congress directed the FAA to evaluate UAS detection systems at airports and other critical infrastructure sites. The agency is partnering with government and industry in the process.
