The Department of Homeland Security has sounded the alarm on accidental and intentional drone activity at or near sensitive facilities. Drones that can be made at home for a few hundred dollars are becoming a serious threat to the people and systems these sites exist to protect. In recent years, drones have breached critical infrastructure perimeters, interrupted airport operations, and made worrying appearances at major sporting events and large community gatherings.
Anchoring airspace awareness with drone detection radar is a must for airports, ports, electric generation and transmission plants, water and wastewater treatment facilities, and chemical, oil and gas, and nuclear sites. Precision radar is the data driver for accurate and timely mission control — slewing optics, sounding alarms, reducing false alarm rates, and supporting better decisions across the board.
Software-defined, Echodyne radar is the highest performing in its weight class, generating precise geolocated tracking data to accurately and reliably detect, classify, and track multiple drones simultaneously. Designed for 24/7 operation regardless of lighting or weather conditions, it detects non-RF-emitting dark drones, integrates with existing sensors and systems through industry-standard interfaces, and is built for straightforward initiation and operation.
