Counter-Drone Solutions for Law Enforcement

LAW ENFORCEMENT ENFORCES AIRSPACE SAFETY WITH ENFORCEAIR

Law enforcement agencies operate at the forefront of public safety, managing large-scale events, critical incidents, and protecting the public. While drones bring operational advantages, their widespread availability and low cost have also made them tools for illicit surveillance, hazardous payload delivery, and disruption of emergency response.

At crowded events, rogue drones can trigger panic, deliver dangerous devices, or interfere with security measures. Beyond these scenarios, drones may be used to monitor law enforcement activities covertly, target facilities or personnel, or threaten high-ranking officials. In volatile or high-risk environments, malicious actors could deploy drones to obstruct first responders, escalate crisis situations, and endanger both emergency personnel and civilians, adding layers of complexity and urgency to mission-critical operations.

THE RF CYBER ADVANTAGE

D‑Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir systems use a precise, non‑disruptive, cyber‑driven takeover approach to counter‑drone defense, preserving public safety and operational continuity for law enforcement agencies. EnforceAir detects, locates, and identifies unauthorized drones and, when allowed by regulations, takes control and guides each to a safe, predefined landing zone, while safeguarding mission‑critical law enforcement communications and maintaining authorized drone operations.

For complex or high‑risk scenarios, EnforceAir PLUS introduces optional, smart RF‑effector jamming for defensive escalation, carefully engineered to minimize disruption to critical communications and law enforcement operations. This layered defense keeps agencies in control, even during multi‑threat events or fast‑moving emergencies.

IDENTIFYING THE REAL THREAT

Many detection methods have limitations in law enforcement contexts. Conventional radars can struggle to distinguish small drones from birds or other airborne objects, while optical sensors are prone to false alarms. Acoustic systems have become less reliable as drones grow quieter.

Mitigation methods also vary in suitability. Broad‑spectrum jamming, used in some counter‑drone solutions, can risk impacting vital police and first‑responder communications and cannot always differentiate between friend and foe, potentially grounding authorized law enforcement drones in active use. In addition, when drones are forcibly jammed, they may behave unpredictably, posing safety hazards in crowded areas. Kinetic methods, such as shooting down a drone, carry further risks from falling debris or uncontrolled landings, which could injure officers or civilians.

EnforceAir overcomes these challenges by accurately identifying and taking control of unauthorized drones, preserving authorized UAV operations, and safely guiding threats to controlled landings, maintaining safety without collateral disruption.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AIRSPACE THREATS

• Surveillance of police facilities, tactical teams, and command centers
• Delivery of hazardous or disruptive payloads into secure or public areas
• Harassment or interference with first responders at emergency scenes
• Unauthorized broadcasting or streaming of sensitive law enforcement operations
• Coordinated drone swarm incursions that challenge conventional defenses

PURPOSE‑BUILT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT MISSIONS

EnforceAir enables agencies to:

• Protect major public events without disrupting lawful activities
• Maintain secure perimeters at rallies, crime scenes, and sensitive locations
• Safeguard tactical, SWAT, and multi‑agency deployments
• Maintain safety and operational continuity during emergencies or crises
• Recover and examine rogue drone payloads for forensic evidence
• Track drone flight paths and identify takeoff locations and operators
• Operate effectively in dense urban, rural, and border‑adjacent environments
