need a new operating model<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At GPEC 2026, Europe&#8217;s leading event for internal security, law enforcement, and homeland defence, HHLA Sky presented a vision for the future of drone and robotic operations in public safety and criticalinfrastructure environments.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Across two presentations delivered by Tobias Hoffmann, Head of Technology, and Marius Schr\u00f6der, Head of Commercial at HHLA Sky, a common theme emerged: the future of drone operations is no longer about individual aircraft, but about secure orchestration, operational scalability, and digital sovereignty.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As drone adoption grows across law enforcement, emergency response, critical infrastructure protection, and homeland security, organisations face a growing challenge. While drone technology has advanced rapidly, operational models often remain fragmented, reliant on individual operators, isolated systems, and disconnected data streams.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The question is how organisations can scale their operations securely, efficiently, and in compliance with increasingly demanding regulatory frameworks such as NIS2.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">HHLA Sky&#8217;s perspective: critical infrastructure requires a different approach<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">HHLA Sky&#8217;s roots are closely linked to one of Europe&#8217;s most complex critical infrastructure environments: the Port of Hamburg.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As a subsidiary of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), the company comes from an environment where logistics, transport, security, and infrastructure management intersect across a vast area with continuous operations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This background has shaped HHLA Sky&#8217;s approach to autonomous systems.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rather than developing drones as standalone products, the company focuses on creating integrated operational ecosystems capable of supporting logistics, inspection, surveillance, emergency response, and custom mission profiles at scale.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This philosophy was reflected throughout both GPEC presentations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The security challenge facing public-safety drone operations<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the central themes addressed during GPEC was the growing tension between operational performance and cybersecurity requirements.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Across Europe, regulatory requirements continue to evolve. The implementation of NIS2 and increasing attention to digital sovereignty are forcing public organisations to reassess how drone operations are managed and secured.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the same time, many organisations already rely on widely deployed drone platforms that offer proven operational performance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This creates what HHLA Sky describes as an operational paradox.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On one side, organisations require efficient and widely available drone hardware. On the other, they must address cybersecurity concerns, data governance requirements, and regulatory obligations that continue to become more demanding.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For police forces, emergency responders, critical infrastructure operators, and public authorities, this challenge is becoming increasingly relevant.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The goal is no longer simply to fly drones, but to operate them securely, compliantly, and at scale.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Why individual drone operations do not scale<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The second major challenge highlighted during the presentations is operational scalability. Traditional drone operations are typically built around a one-to-one model where a single operator controls a single aircraft.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While effective for isolated missions, this approach quickly becomes inefficient as organisations attempt to expand their operations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Personnel remain tied to deployment locations. Mission coordination becomes increasingly complex. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Data remains distributed across separate systems. Operational awareness becomes fragmented.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As a result, organisations often struggle to create a coherent operational picture across multiple teams, locations, and mission types.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For public-safety organisations operating in dynamic environments, these limitations can directly impact response times, situational awareness, and resource allocation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Integrated Control Centre: a new approach to drone operations<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">HHLA Sky&#8217;s answer to these challenges is the Integrated Control Centre (ICC).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ICC is designed as a central operating system for autonomous and remotely supervised robotic operations.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Rather than managing individual devices separately, the platform enables organisations to coordinate drones, mobile robots, and future autonomous systems through a single interface.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The platform supports large-scale BVLOS drone operations and can manage more than 100 simultaneous drone and robot operations across different manufacturers, mission profiles, and operational environments.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Several capabilities distinguish the ICC from conventional drone management solutions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Centralised video and mission data flow directly into the control centre, eliminating local data silos and creating a shared operational picture.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A scalable one-to-many operational model enables a single operator to supervise multiple systems simultaneously rather than remaining tied to individual aircraft.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most importantly, the platform is IEC 62443 certified, making it the only drone-control platform with this highest level of industrial cybersecurity certification.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Digital sovereignty as a strategic requirement<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another major focus of the presentations was digital sovereignty.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As geopolitical tensions, cybersecurity concerns, and regulatory requirements increase, organisations are paying closer attention to where operational data is stored and who has access to it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">HHLA Sky outlined a vision centred on European digital independence.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For public authorities, law-enforcement organisations, and critical infrastructure operators, this approach would provide greater control over mission-critical operational data.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Digital sovereignty is increasingly becoming a strategic requirement rather than a technical preference.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The first responder use case: situational awareness before arrival<\/span><\/b><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the most compelling examples presented at GPEC was the First Responder drone concept.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In emergency situations, access to information is often the deciding factor in successful decision-making. Using an autonomous docking station and BVLOS operations, drones can be launched automatically immediately after an alarm is triggered.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Within minutes, live video streams are transmitted directly to command centres before response personnel arrive on site. This enables emergency services to assess incidents faster, allocate resources more effectively, and improve situational awareness during critical moments.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instead of arriving without information, response teams can arrive with a live operational picture already established.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Creating a coordinated air picture<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another key concept introduced during the presentations was the coordinated air picture. Many organisations already operate multiple drone systems across different teams and departments. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, these systems often operate in parallel rather than together.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The ICC addresses this challenge by creating a unified operational picture where data from multiple platforms can be consolidated, managed, and distributed securely.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Video streams, telemetry data, and mission information become available to command staff, mobile units, and operational centres simultaneously.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The result is not simply multiple drones operating at once, but a coordinated and interactive operational environment where all participants share the same information foundation.<\/span><span
