Counter-Drone Solutions for
Border Protection & Security

DIFFICULT TIMES AT THE BORDERLINES

The use of drones to smuggle drugs and contraband across borders has become increasingly prominent around the globe. The drone threat has gotten so large and dangerous that there is ramped-up pressure on governments to enable proper authorities to combat it.

Threatening drone scenarios at the border include:

• Drug and weapon smuggling
• Explosive attacks between rival cartels or against law enforcement/border personnel
• Fence vulnerability probes
• Reconnaissance and tracking of border security staff and facilities
• Human trafficking and illegal border crossings

Overcoming these challenges is difficult for border security agencies, in part because borders are usually long and can be delineated by mountains, shorelines, or densely populated urban areas.

While confronting these challenges, border security personnel must consider jurisdiction and privacy concerns, as well as evolving regulations – which often differ between countries and regions.

TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS’ LIMITATIONS

Traditional technologies have shortcomings at the border:

• Detection: Differentiating between small drones & other objects may result in false positives with radars
• Mitigation: Kinetic (physical) solutions can cause collateral damage in urban border areas or border facilities; in addition, jammers’ results may be temporary and may disrupt border communications

It is also important to note that existing communication signals operating on certain frequency bands (Wi-Fi and point-to-point communications) could be disrupted or interrupted by certain counter-drone solutions, such as jammer-based systems.

THE RF CYBER-TAKEOVER ADVANTAGE

Unlike traditional anti-drone solutions on the market, our flagship product, EnforceAir, uses non-kinetic and non-jamming technologies, preventing collateral damage.

EnforceAir empowers border security agencies to retrieve drone payloads being carried by rogue drones, which is particularly important when drones are carrying drugs and/or explosives. The system also identifies and tracks the location of the drones’ take-off positions and remote-control operators.

BOLSTERING THE BORDER

Unique EnforceAir benefits enables border security personnel to:

• Detect & mitigate rogue drones, regardless of terrain
• Requires no line-of-sight for detection
• Whitelist authorized drones to continue operating
• Utilize wide range of operational deployment options in both static and mobile configurations (tactical, vehicular & stationary)
• Benefit from Multi-Sensor Command & Control (MSC2) for expanded & enhanced coverage
