Counterdrone Protection for Uninterrupted Airspace Operations

Rogue drones pose a growing threat to airport security, flight safety, and operations. Advanced counterdrone solutions ensure uninterrupted air travel and protect passengers, aircraft, and airport infrastructure.

Unauthorized Drone Activity at Airports

A single unauthorized drone can bring air traffic to a standstill, leading to flight delays, mass cancellations, financial losses, and logistical chaos. In the worst case it could lead to a catastrophic safety incident. 

  • Operational Shutdowns: Flight operations are halted as authorities investigate, causing ripple effects across global air travel

  • Financial Impact: Airports, airlines, and businesses incur massive costs from delays, re-routing, and increased security measures

  • Airline and Cargo Delays: The suspension of flights impacts not just passenger travel but also time-sensitive cargo shipments

  • Security and Legal Ramifications: Resources are diverted for investigations, and airports face regulatory scrutiny for security lapses

  • Long-lasting Reputational Damage: Uncertainty amongst the public and airlines to utilize an airport may lead to changing behaviors and routing decisions



How Can C-UAS Help Airports?

DroneShield provides completely passive drone detection solutions, allowing for real time detection, identification, tracking, and mitigation for complete airspace awareness and control

Droneshield Detection icon

Detection

  • Industry-leading sensors provide unmatched drone detection and tracking

  • Simultaneous detection and tracking of multiple drones

  • Identifies GNSS-navigated and silent drones through downlinks, capturing telemetry, location, and video feeds

Droneshield Integration icon

Integration

  • Seamlessly integrates with existing third-party security and safety systems for enhanced protection

  • Zero-emission detection sensors operate without interference or spectrum approval requirements

  • Continuous optimization through training, customer support, and regular firmware updates to counter the latest in drone technology

Droneshield Awareness icon

Awareness

  • Real-time intelligence ensures rapid, informed decision-making 

  • Identifies drone type, location, and direction while preserving critical data for analysis, risk mitigation and use in law enforcement activities

  • Detects and pinpoints drone operator’s location

  • Enhances risk management strategies, reducing long-term security costs and maximizing the capabilities of AI and machine learning technologies

Droneshield Recording icon

Recording

  • Advanced software captures and stores essential drone activity data

  • Proprietary DroneOptID software records footage for investigative and legal purposes

  • Comprehensive alerting, tracking, and reporting provide a full operational picture

Droneshield Mitigation icon

Mitigation (where lawful)

  • Airspace, aircraft, and airport operations can be defended via either or both discriminate or omni-directional counter-UAS capabilities 

  • Threats can be neutralized automatically or manually, forcing rogue drones to land or return to the operator

  • Mitigation can be undertaken either onsite or offsite as either a single site or under an enterprise approach
