The Future of Security: Titan Protection on the Drone Radio Show!

June 18, 2026 by Miriam McNabb 1 Comment

How Titan Protection Is Scaling Drone Operations, on this episode of the Drone Radio Show!

Ryan Smith speaks with host Randy Goers about Titan Protection’s approach to security, what makes the company different in a rapidly growing market, and how drones are evolving from specialized tools into native components of modern security operations. We’ll also discuss the lessons Titan has learned while scaling its drone programs, the impact of one-to-many operations, real-world examples of autonomous security missions, and how Ryan sees these technologies changing the security industry in the years ahead.

Listen here:

Ryan Smith is Founder and CEO of Titan Protection and Consulting.  Titan Protection is a premier security services provider and pioneer in autonomous drone security systems. The company was founded in 2008 to prove that physical security services could be both more effective and affordable. Today, Titan Protection employs over 600 people, and protects hundreds of companies across the Midwest with operations extending nationwide.  Titan developed one of the first successful remote pilot drone security programs and became the first security company authorized by the FAA to fly drones out of visual view.

An instrument-rated pilot and certified Defensive Tactics Instructor, Ryan’s real-world experience shaped his philosophy that effective security requires both advanced technology and highly-trained personnel.  His innovative “blended approach” to security – combining human expertise with emerging technologies – has resulted in significant improvements in security effectiveness while reducing operational costs for numerous enterprises across various sectors. Under his leadership, Titan has become one of the pioneers in using drones for remote security operations and recently received FAA approval for one-to-many drone operations, allowing a single operator to supervise multiple aircraft across multiple locations.
