From the security perimeter of a FIFA World Cup to the Mexican border and a remote oil refinery, the Interpol UAS Red Team has stress-tested drone threat responses across four continents, and what they found will challenge assumptions. In this 30 minute session, Red Team Commander Matt Service draws on live operational deployments with Interpol, the UN, Frontex and UNODC to reveal five things that only emerge when you put real adversarial capability against real security plans: why perimeter security is a myth, what counter-UAS AI consistently fails to detect, why human factors determined the outcome at every site, who actually owns your UAS data when an incident occurs, and how any agency can build genuine sovereign capability in 90 days. No vendor pitches. No theoretical frameworks. Just hard-won operational intelligence from the team that's already been through (and under) the wire.
