What SAFETY Act Designation Means for Airspace Security at Critical Sites

The Strategic Advantage of Deploying a SAFETY Act‑Vetted Airspace Security Platform

What Is the SAFETY Act and Why Does It Matter?

For organizations responsible for securing airports, stadiums, utilities, data centers, correctional facilities, hospitals, logistics hubs, telecom infrastructure or any other private enterprise, the need for trusted drone protection is growing.

But in a rapidly evolving market, how can security teams distinguish what actually works from what’s merely promising?

The SAFETY Act, established by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), provides a formal pathway for evaluating and recognizing security technologies are proven to help prevent or mitigate acts of terrorism. Technologies that receive Designation status have passed a rigorous review process and are acknowledged as part of the U.S. government’s trusted anti-terrorism framework.
