Counter-Drone Solutions for Local Government

DRONES ARE A FOCAL POINT FOR CITIES & GOVERNMENTS

Rogue or unauthorized drones pose a threat to local governments. Their sudden appearance could destabilize the airspace, grounding authorized drones, as well as planes and helicopters. sUAVs can also attack sites or personnel that local governments are charged with protecting.

Today’s safe cities are highly digital and synchronous. Optimal functioning depends on interrelated transportation, communication, safety and enterprise elements working together in harmony. Rogue drones can immediately harm the flow of a city by shutting down the airways, threatening the safety of crowds or critical facilities, and hampering communications if a jamming counter-drone solution is employed.

TOP TAKEOVER TECHNOLOGY

EnforceAir, D-Fend Solutions’ core offering, features proven and future-proof technology that detects unauthorized or rogue drones, identifies them and then automatically takes control over the drones and lands them in a safe, designated area. Authorized drones remain fully operational and unaffected, and commerce and transportation continue unabated.

An alert zone can be set on the outer perimeter of the specified region, with multiple protection zones blanketing the surrounding areas.

AGILE & INTUITIVE

EnforceAir provides the ultimate in operational agility and flexibility, as its core elements can be easily transferred, mounted and configured within a matter of minutes, enabling personnel to go anywhere within the local region at any time. This includes vehicular, stationary and tactical installations. EnforceAir is lightweight and can be carried. Its intuitive graphical user interface and rugged tablet are intuitive and easy to use, and do not require a technical background.

TRADITIONAL C-SUAS SOLUTIONS ARE LESS EFFECTIVE

Radars often have trouble differentiating between small drones and other flying objects during the detection phase, and they are complicated to operate. Optic solutions generate false alarms and the problem with many acoustic solutions is that drones are becoming increasingly quiet.

Jamming-based solutions, or hybrid solutions featuring jammers for mitigation, emit large amounts of energy. This blocks drones’ controller signals, rendering them largely unable to function properly. Jamming technology may not always be the optimal solution for local governments, because it affects other radio communications, which would hamper the communication among the various coordinated organizations.

Many local governments and affiliated bodies utilize drones. Jamming based solutions, however, may be unable to distinguish between “friend and foe” when it comes to authorized and unauthorized drones. D-Fend Solutions empowers governmental and municipal organizations to continue using their communications systems and authorized drones. This preserves continuity, while mitigating rogue drones.
