Securing a Classified Defense Site with Autonomous Drones and Robotics

In this NestGen '26 session, MSS Security shares how they brought autonomous docked drones into a defense ground facility in Australia, one of the most restricted operating environments for any drone program. Defense sites operate under strict rules around what technology is allowed on the ground, who can access footage, and what airspace the drone can enter. The session covers how MSS worked through those requirements and what the approval process looked like from start to operational flights. Beyond the approvals, the session gets into the practical side: how the drone fits into a security operation that already has guards, cameras, and sensors in place, and what changes in the control room when autonomous aerial response becomes part of the workflow.
