MIA chosen for TSA drone technology testing Primary tabs 7th May 2021 The trials are set to help identify software that can detect unmanned aircraft systems entering restricted areas Miami International Airport (MIA) has been selected by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for the initial testing of technologies that will detect, track and identify (DTI) drones entering into restricted airspace. The organisation chose the hub as the first unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) DTI testbed due to the intrusion technology pilot that is currently underway. Drones are used for a wide variety of commercial and recreational purposes. Many are equipped with global positioning systems (GPS) that prevent usage in restricted zones. However, some do not follow these regulations and therefore pose a security and safety risk.
