UAS Risk-to-Protection Assessment Procedure
Handbook v1.0 · September 2026
A practical nine-stage guide for facility assessment teams.
Includes a first-assessment walkthrough, reuseable worksheets, an action-plan format, and a worked water-treatment plant example.
A Risk-Based Methodology for UAS Threats to Critical Infrastructure
Research Paper · September 2026
A structured method for translating UAS threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences into protection requirements and site architecture. Includes a worked example showing how shared infrastructure dependencies can shape protection decisions.
Integrated Counter-UAS Strategic Architecture: The Kill-Web Framework
Book · March 2026
A strategic framework for understanding counter-UAS as an integrated protection system. Examines how sensing, communications, decision-making, and response connect to support a coordinated defense.
Designed for decision-makers, operators, and strategists, this handbook bridges the gap between technology, policy, and operational execution in the increasingly contested low-altitude domain.
As autonomous systems continue to proliferate, defending the homeland requires more than isolated solutions—it requires architecture.
The Kill-Web Framework provides that foundation.
An Early Survey of Best Practices for the Use of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems by the Electric Utili
Technical Paper · 01 February 2017
The report An Early Survey of Best Practices for the Use of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) by the Electric Utility Industry was published in March 2017 by researchers Richard M. Lusk and William Monday at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Key Focus Areas of the ORNL Report
- Safety and Compliance: Designed as a foundational touchstone to professionalize and standardize safe drone operations for utility workers, regulators, and policymakers.
- Global Best Practices: Aggregates real-world operational insights from early commercial small UAS operators worldwide rather than serving as a basic instruction manual.
- Infrastructure Integration: Focuses on helping utility managers strategize and integrate remote-piloted aircraft into day-to-day inspection and maintenance of transmission lines and critical grid assets.
