Minimize Drone Threats with Drone Detection
Drones, also known as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), can pose significant security threats to businesses, from espionage to attacks of terrorism. As the availability and use of drones continues to grow, so does the need for drone security solutions.
Drone security detects and locates nearby drones, and alerts you when they are in the vicinity of your premises. Through advanced positioning technology, you can then dispatch an officer to the exact location of the drone controller to manage the threat. If legal action is required, the drone system collects data on every drone detected that can be used as evidence.
Drone Detection RF Scanners, Radar, and Optical Sensors
Drone detection solutions are multi-layered, incorporating RF scanners, radar, and optical sensors to reliably detect and locate drones and their operators in your airspace. Each of these technologies contributes to a robust drone detection security system.
RF Sensors
RF sensors serve as the foundation of all drone detection systems. Nearly every drone operates using radio frequency (RF) signals, which RF scanners detect and analyze to determine the location of the drone and operator, the drone’s flight path, and the drone’s manufacturer and/or model.
Radar Surveillance
Drone detection radar sensors are often used alongside RF sensors to detect drones that RF systems cannot identify, such as autonomous drones or drone swarms. However, drone radar cannot determine the location of the drone operator, the flight path, or manufacturer information, making it essential to use them in conjunction with RF systems.
Cameras
Powerful cameras are integrated into drone detection systems to provide visual verification of drones and evidence of potentially harmful drone payloads. Drone detection cameras are trained to reliably and accurately identify drones through AI machine learning.
How a Drone Security System can Help Protect Your Business
Drones are able to drop contraband into the yards of correctional facilities, which can endanger prison staff and inmates. Without a drone system in place, this can occur completely undetected. A drone detection solution will alert you when a drone takes off nearby or approaches your airspace, allowing you to take action to protect your facility.
Recreational drones can pose a risk to the safety of pedestrians in a public area, if the drone loses connection or is not flown with caution. It’s important to have a drone detection system in place so you can keep the people on your property safe.
Drones occupying the airspace in or around an active airport can pose a serious risk to plane passengers and crew. A drone security solution can help prevent drones from endangering lives and property and causing any delays or interruptions.
Drones that penetrate the airspace around a data center can potentially initiate a cyber-attack or interfere with important systems. A drone detection system will alert you when a drone approaches the airspace around your facility, so you can make sure your systems are protected.
Any interruption to a critical infrastructure can have a huge impact to the people who rely on them every day. Drones, when used improperly, have the potential to cause unexpected disruptions across all forms of infrastructure. That’s why it is important to include a drone system in your critical infrastructure security program.
Package theft on the supply chain is becoming increasingly prevalent, and drones can play a role in allowing criminals to steal merchandise from cargo during vulnerable moments such as when it is at a rail center. Help keep your cargo protected from drone threats with a drone detection security system.
Drones are very difficult to detect and track without a dedicated system in place. That is why corporate locations are vulnerable to drone espionage on their premises. A drone detection system will keep you notified when any drone enters your airspace.

FAQs
Yes, drones can be detected using radar sensors. However, radar sensors cannot detect important information such as the location of the drone operator, the flight path, or manufacturer information without the assistance of RF sensors.
Drones are small and quiet, and often fly above the line of sight of surveillance cameras, making them difficult to detect using traditional surveillance equipment. Specialized drone detection equipment is reliable, and necessary to ensure that drones are not intruding undetected.
Drone detection primarily utilizes RF scanners to capture the RF signals drone use to operate and interpret those signals to determine drone location, operator location, flight path, drone model and more. This system is supported by radar scanners and powerful PTZ cameras to reduce the likelihood of a drone entering your airspace undetected.
Drones entering a business’ airspace can pose many threats, including espionage, as most drones are equipped with cameras to enable remote navigation from a distance. Bad actors can fly a drone onto a property to capture sensitive information such as when individuals enter and exit buildings, security coverage and vulnerable locations.
If you spot a drone trespassing on your property, it is important not to attempt to take it down, as it is illegal and potentially dangerous. Instead, it is best to inform the operator they are not permitted to fly in your area, and to contact law enforcement if they do not comply.
