Dedrone RF Sensors

Dedrone RF Drone Detection

Dedrone’s industry-leading RF drone detection sensors detect drones based on radio signals.

They can also classify them, identifying the manufacturer and/or model, and locate them.

Dedrone RF sensors can detect almost all commercial, hobby and home-made drones, including the entire DJI product line.

The primary Dedrone RF sensors are the DedroneSensor RF-160 and DedroneSensor RF-360.

Both Dedrone RF-160 and RF-360 provide early detection, alerts, and classification of airspace intrusions.

Additionally Dedrone RF-360 will provide distance and location tracking to map the position of both pilot and drone.

PTZ Cameras

With their pan, tilt and zoom functionality, PTZ cameras can be an essential part of a drone defence strategy.

PTZ cameras enable visual identification and localisation of the drone and payload and are a fundamental tool for recording and preserving forensic evidence.

Benefit from visual auto-tracking and use PTZ to complement RF drone detection.

Depending on the application, Dedrone integrates one or more PTZ cameras.

Dedrone can integrate with a range of cameras, including leading solutions from Axis and Flir.

Third-party Radar

Integrate radar into the Dedrone platform to detect drones and their altitude.

Use in conjunction with RF sensors and PTZ cameras, along with the Dedrone Tracker software for automatic drone detection.

Radar systems are particularly popular with airports and military, and are effective independent of light and weather conditions.

Since they emit radiation, radar is subject to approval and price-intensive to purchase compared to other sensors.

Dedrone can integrate with a range of radar, including leading solutions from Echodyne and Flir, as shown.

 

DJI AeroScope

DJI AeroScope is a passive RF radar system which reliably tracks real-time telemetry data from all DJI drones (around 80% of the market) within its range. 

    DJI AeroScope - which can be used with an on-premise local server for enhanced data security - comes in mobile and stationary formats and the most powerful AeroScope drone radar can identify drones within a 50km range.

    Generate detailed flight logs, including statistical reports and heat maps, and access remote monitoring via the G8 and G16 systems.

    DJI AeroScope has been endorsed by the UK’s Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.

    DroneDefender Drone Gun

    Deploy the DroneDefender when a UAS threat is detected.

    This drone gun operates instantaneously when the trigger is engaged, and breaks the communication link from the pilot to the drone. The aircraft then enters its pre-programmed safety mode, minimising risk to public safety and damage to the drone.

    The DroneDefender is a quickly-deployable point-and-shoot device, with a range of 2km and counters a wide range of commercial off the shelf drones.

    Used within a layered drone defence solution, the DroneDefender can be deployed as an effective mitigation strategy, as part of a strategic end-to-end detect and defeat capability.

    How is Drone Defence Used?

    Protect your airspace

    Drone defence is an important asset for critical infrastructure, airports, prisons, maritime and stadia, as well as for organisers of major events.

    Airports

    There have been numerous incidents of drones causing disruption at airports. Think Gatwick in December 2018. Drone defence protects this sensitive airspace from UAS intrusions and reduces the risk of drones colliding with manned aviation.

    Shipping

    Drone defence can be crucial for maritime operations to protect valuable cargo, crew and passengers. Vessels are particularly vulnerable when they have limited manoeuvrability, such as when they are docked in port or passing through narrow straits or canals. Drone threats include aerial reconnaissance, breach of privacy or being deployed as a missile.

    Stadiums

    A high-profile sporting event or open-air festival are attractive targets for malicious drone operators. Unmanned aircraft can be used to capture unauthorised footage, interrupt the game, and cause damage. They also present serious hazards for players and spectators.

    Infrastructure

    The 2019 attack on oil-processing facilities in Saudi Arabia showed the carnage of a drone strike on critical infrastructure - causing huge damage and having a significant impact on global financial markets. Drones can also be deployed by activists who can fly around nuclear sites, oil installations, fracking sites and other critical infrastructure to cause damage, disruption and/or publicity.

    Government

    In highly-sensitive and politically-important area, drones can be used for terrorism and for spying. Ladden with bombs or other hostile payloads, drones can attack property and cause threats to life. They can also be deployed for reconnaissance missions, collecting sensitive and private information to prepare for an attack and obtain intelligence.

    Prisons

    Drones have become a useful and fairly anonymous tool for criminals to drop illicit substances or other contraband into prison grounds. Bring drone defence into action around the prison’s parameter to counter this illegal activity. Some systems also enable you to track the location of the pilot.
