During the 2024 Paris Olympics, drones played an important role in security protection and the opening and closing ceremonies. Here, we look at the major news about drones.
Drone News 1: Drone Show at the Opening Ceremony
The 2024 Paris Olympics arranged a dazzling drone show, with hundreds of drones arranged in an orderly manner in the air, freely adjusting their shapes, and posing various sports scenes and Olympic elements. The epic drone show is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is very shocking to everyone who watched the performance live!
Drone News 2: Drone Spy Scandal
The Canadian women's football team participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics is currently in trouble. Their head coach withdrew from the first game and two team members were sent back to their country due to the drone scandal.
The reason is that the Canadian team staff recorded the training of the opponent New Zealand team before the game. It is unethical to use drones to fight against opponents, so the competitors of the Canadian women's football team will be adjusted and the head coach will also face suspension.
Drone News 3: Citizens privately fly drones to attempt to record the event site
You want to use drones to shoot the Olympics, this is impossible! During the Olympics, Paris is prohibited from flying its own drones. The whole of Paris is a drone no-fly zone, and flying drones will be sentenced to imprisonment or fines.
The French Prime Minister said that French security departments intercepted multiple drones every day, and relevant staff were able to catch people who flew drones privately to capture photos of event training and the stadium throughout the event.
For tourists, they hope to be able to see the progress of the 2024 Paris Olympics. For French authorities, drone flights are strictly prohibited near the Olympic venues.
Are drones in the Olympics good or bad?
Drone performances are full of viewing and bring shocking performance effects. Drones can also provide security and inspections during events. But for the public, drones are not allowed to be flown. This is to deal with terrorists or other criminals who may use drones to sabotage or attack. Preventing drone attacks and potential drone threats is the focus of Olympic security.
How to deal with drone threats?
The best countermeasure against drones is to implement electronic interference. Anti-drone systems include anti-drone guns, jammers, and AI-equipped monitoring systems to detect and block any suspicious drone activities.
During the Olympics, the French military and police also set up a special anti-drone center to coordinate multiple forces to monitor and respond to potential drone threats in real time.
Skyfend is an outstanding representative of anti-drone companies. By deploying precise and effective anti-drone hardware and software, it can interfere with drones in all frequency bands, even drones with anti-interference functions, and can achieve identification, interference and deception.
Skyfend has also launched Skyfend Tracer P, which relies on Drone ID and Remote ID to accurately identify drone aircraft information and drone pilot positioning, and plays a better regulatory role in illegal driving and other behaviors.
