Strengthening Airspace Security with Advanced Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems

  Let’s take a moment and count the number of establishments that are reaping the adverse effects of drones on their security measures. If you pull out the numbers you will see drones aren’t just another beneficial gadget anymore; they have become a major security threat. Previously the device that was used to enhance delivery services, aid in emergency responses and support recreational hobbies is now being used by perpetrators to conduct unauthorized surveillance, smuggle contraband, and more. However, with the rapid increase in drone usage, effective counter drone measures have also become indispensable to detect, track and neutralize unauthorized drones.   Drone Detection Radar Typically, C-UAS system has a drone detection radar that can detect and track drones within a specified range. These components can provide real-time data to security personnel, and the price of drone detection radars generally varies on several factors like range, detection, accuracy and a...
