| Abstract | This paper proposes a collaborative design (“co-design”) approach to accelerating public and political acceptance of the cyberspace and information risks, inherent to the development and deployment of indoor smart building unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to provide immediate “visual access” to law enforcement and other armed first responders in the case of an active shooter incident inside of a building, including risks concerning (1) system safety and reliability; (2) supply chain security; (3) cybersecurity; and (4) privacy. The paper explores the potential to use a virtual world platform as part of a phased pilot at the U.S. Service Academies to build trust in the privacy, security and efficacy of a counter active shooter UAS (CAS-UAS), trust necessary to win public and political support for procuring, developing, and deploying such a system. By using a live-virtual-constructive approach similar to the U.S. military’s synthetic training environments (STE), to intentionally engage a cross-functional team in a pilot to field a prototype CAS-UAS, a co-created CAS-UAS could anticipate and address security and privacy concerns of the sort that slowed the roll-out of police body-worn cameras (BWC) and wide area motion imagery (WAMI), particularly in the context of privacy concerns over the use of facial recognition. The paper is intended to provide communities with a new approach to identify and address policy obstacles to deploying smart city IoT technology to save lives, here in the case of a CAS-UAS that can enhance situational awareness for first responders during active shootings inside of public buildings like shopping malls, corporate headquarters, houses of worship or schools. The paper draws on the author’s personal experience testifying before the U.S. Congress concerning recent questions about the supply chain security of small commercial drones. © 2020 Curran Associates Inc..
