Drone operations for FIFA host cities: Planning for zero-failure security

Synopsis

This webinar outlines how public safety agencies can prepare drone operations for FIFA World Cup security. Skydio and Las Vegas Metro PD share practical lessons from large-scale events: stress-test and build redundancy into connectivity, formalize pre-event plans (ConOps, staffing, communications, safety, and regulatory coordination), and use drone-based 2D/3D site mapping to plan perimeters, resources, and response strategies before venues become “temporary cities.” The session also covers staffing models for sustained operations, simulator-based pilot training with Skydio Paraverse, proactive community education to reduce rogue drone incursions, and how to secure the right FAA approvals and TFR access in advance to ensure uninterrupted operations during match days.
