Protecting low-altitude airspace.
A space within EXPODRON for those who detect, identify and manage uncrewed aircraft: law enforcement, defense, the aviation authority, critical infrastructure operators and the industry that develops these capabilities.
Every drone that joins the sky is also a security challenge.
The same progress that makes it possible to inspect a transmission line or deliver medical supplies raises new questions: how to know what is flying over an airport, a mining site, a correctional facility or a mass event, and who is authorized to act.
Security & Defense brings together, in one place, the technology, the regulation and the people responsible for protecting infrastructure and the public. With a clear standard: defensive capabilities, the current legal framework and zero sensationalism.
Four capabilities, one route through the pavilion.
The pavilion follows the actual sequence of a protection operation, so visitors can compare solutions at each stage.
Detect
Radar, radio frequency, electro-optical/infrared and acoustic sensors. Coverage, range and false positives.
Identify
Remote ID, correlation with UTM flight plans and classification of cooperative and non-cooperative aircraft.
Assess
Situational awareness, sensor fusion, command and control, and decision protocols.
Respond
Protocols, inter-agency coordination and the legal framework for action.Display and content only · no live demonstration
Those who protect, those who operate and those who develop.
Defense and public order
Armed forces, police, prison service and emergency agencies evaluating detection capabilities and protocols.
Access with verified accreditationAirspace
The aviation authority and traffic management stakeholders defining how to coexist with authorized operations.
Regulation & AirspaceCritical infrastructure
Mining, energy, ports, airports, telecommunications and water utilities that need to protect their facilities.
Hosted Buyer ProgramDevelopers and integrators
Manufacturers of sensors, fusion software, secure communications and airspace security services.
Security & Defense PavilionFour ways to take part.
Security & Defense Pavilion
An exhibition zone organized around the protection chain. Booths in all available formats, with dedicated area signage.
Institutional Forum (restricted access)
Closed session for institutions and critical infrastructure operators, with verified accreditation and the Chatham House rule. A space to discuss protocols and needs without public exposure. It includes the hands-on session on drone detection at critical infrastructure.
Technical workshops
Open hands-on sessions, no sign-up, on Remote ID as a security tool and integration with UTM. See the workshop calendar.
Detection demonstrations
At EXPODRON Live, with cooperative aircraft: detection, identification and tracking in the outdoor flight area. No jamming or active neutralization.
What this space is, and what it is not.
The focus is on protecting people, infrastructure and airspace. No weapon systems are exhibited and their use is not promoted.
All exhibits comply with current Chilean regulations, including applicable controls on dual-use technologies.
No military-style aesthetics or sensationalist messaging. We show operational capability, not spectacle.
Security and civil operations go hand in hand: the same UTM infrastructure that enables flights makes it possible to identify those who do not comply.

For institutions, forum participation requires registration. For companies, let's discuss the right format.
