Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
As the world prepares for two of the most anticipated global events, the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the Los Angeles Olympics 2028, event security solutions take center stage.
A rising security challenge comes from unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), or drones. These small, agile devices can be used for unauthorized surveillance, event disruptions, or even carrying dangerous payloads.
Parsons is tackling this threat head-on with groundbreaking counter unmanned aircraft systems (CUAS) solutions designed to protect athletes, fans, and venues while ensuring the seamless execution of these iconic celebrations.
Game-Changing Security for Global Gatherings
Imagine stadiums packed with cheering fans, bustling city streets alive with excitement, and the world’s eyes focused on the action. From the sprawling soccer venues of the FIFA World Cup to the dynamic urban landscapes of Los Angeles, Parsons’ solutions are built to adapt to any environment. With cutting-edge CUAS tools like DroneArmor™, these systems provide real-time insights and proactive threat mitigation, keeping the focus on the games and celebrations, not the risks.

Using its DroneArmor™ platform, Parsons integrates multiple sensors and effectors to create a unified operational picture. This allows security teams to detect, track, and mitigate potential drone threats in real time. Whether it’s safeguarding the packed stadiums of the World Cup or protecting critical infrastructure during the Olympics, Parsons’ solutions ensure security teams have the tools they need to act decisively.
