Drones in Civilian Airspaces: Security, Regulation, and Imagination

On November 24 and 25, PRIO hosted an international conference that gathered international experts from around the world as well as key stakeholders in the Norwegian landscape. 

​Over the last few years, the use of drones in civilian airspace has increased dramatically, opening up some opportunities and leading to a wide range of new security challenges, as illustrated by the numerous incidents observed in Norway in recent weeks. In response to this proliferation, significant international, regional, and national efforts have been undertaken to develop regulations to integrate drones safely into civilian airspace.

What security problems arise from drone proliferation in the airspace, and how will this problem-set change as automation and artificial intelligence become more widespread?

What are the frames, scope, and boundaries of the discourse regarding the promises and risks of civil-drone integration?

How can Norwegian and EU authorities adapt regulatory frameworks to integrate drones into civilian airspace while maintaining high safety, security, and privacy standards?
