Think FPV drones are Just a battlefield threat? Think again.

Think FPV drones are confined to warzones? Think again.

If you think your critical assets are secure because your drone detection system picks up commercial off-the-shelf drones – think again.

FPV drones are here to stay. And they’re not limited to military use. They’re everywhere.

On August 21, 2025, the FARC took down a Colombian Police Blackhawk helicopter using an armed FPV drone, killing 12 officers. A tragic event, but for FPVs, a relatively easy target: low speed, low altitude, predictable path, and limited maneuverability.

What’s next?
Commercial airliners? Power stations? Substations? Airports? VIPs?
The threat is real. The possibilities – endless.

The threat has evolved. Has your defense?
