Protect and secure your airspace with drone defence.
Determine threat levels in real-time to take the necessary action to counter an attack.
Alert issued when a drone breaches a geofenced area or enters controlled airspace.
Identify key details about the drone and flight.
Monitor the drone's path and use data to prepare defence strategy.
Locate drone, seize property, or take alternative action, such as takedown.
Via analytics - was it the same drone? Is a particular route being constantly targeted? Are there weaknesses in the current strategy?

Drone defence is an important asset for critical infrastructure, airports, prisons, maritime and stadia, as well as for organisers of major events.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Data integrity is crucial. Inaccurate information can hinder the creation of effective standard operating procedures and emergency response plans.
Reacting to a false alarm can also be expensive and labour intensive.
Then there’s the classic Cry Wolf™ scenario: Ignoring warnings due to the past experience of false alarms - only to suffer a drone attack when resources have not been deployed.
That’s why drone defence is key. Tools such as heat maps, real-time telemetry information and Remote ID provide a robust and trustworthy solution to reliably raise the alarm and counter a drone threat.
A catalogue of historical reports can then be compiled to use analytical learning to plan for and tackle/prevent future threats.
A layered solution is most effective for data integrity, utilising different sensors with different capabilities to identify a broader range of drones and cross-reference detection data and risk levels.
These passive systems scan the airspace for drone frequency bands, detecting a communication link between the drone and controller/pilot. Access information about the drone.
Layer 1 features a single RF detection device, such as DJI AeroScope or Dedrone.
A layered solution is the most comprehensive form of drone defence, with multiple technologies working together to plug the gaps and provide a more robust and complete defence strategy.
These systems are integrated via a middle-layer software with full automation and remote monitoring/alerts.
Drone defence is scalable, adding extra sensors and mitigation strategies in a phased and modular approach.
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.
heliguy™ drone defence solutions offer a versatile network topology - effective for a strategy based on DJI AeroScope alone, or utilising AeroScope as part of a layered approach.
This topology enables different server options.
DJI Aeroscope can feed into a public or private server (on-site or remote) and alert notifications via email and app can be enabled.
Alternatively, it can feed into a private server with SDK (Software Development Kit), or a middle-layer software, to enable a multi-tiered approach and enhanced alert methods, such as via dedicated apps. This is an effective solution for accessing instant and team-wide notifications of a potential drone threat.
