What Is Counter-Drone Detection?

Counter-drone detection uses specialized radio frequency sensors and AI-powered cameras to identify and track unmanned aircraft operating in or near your property or area of concern. Think of it as a bug sweep for your sky – instead of finding hidden microphones in your walls, we detect and document unauthorized drones overhead.

Our detection systems operate 24/7 and require no action from you. When a drone is detected, the system automatically logs the event, tracks the aircraft, and sends an immediate alert to designated client personnel or investigators.

What Our Systems Detect

The drone landscape is diverse, and our counter-drone detection investigations are designed to identify the major categories of unmanned aircraft that may pose a privacy, safety, or evidentiary concern:

• DJI Consumer & Commercial Drones – The most common drones on the market. Our systems detect their proprietary control signals and identify the specific model and serial number when available.
• FAA Remote ID Compliant Drones – Federal law now requires most drones to broadcast identification. Our sensors capture these Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmissions and decode the drone’s ID, position, altitude, and speed.
• FPV Racing & Analog Video Drones – These are often the hardest to detect because they operate on different frequencies and carry no identification. Our systems include specialized spectrum analysis to detect their analog video transmissions.

Each detection is logged with a timestamp, signal type, estimated position, and alert level – creating an auditable record for investigative review, incident documentation, or legal proceedings.

Multi-Site Detection & Centralized Monitoring

For clients with multiple properties, facilities, or principals requiring coverage, our platform supports multi-site detection through a centralized monitoring dashboard. Multiple sensor nodes across different locations report to a single secure hub, giving your team and our investigators a unified view of airspace activity across all covered sites.

• Each site operates independently – if one location loses connectivity, the others continue detecting and logging.
• Centralized alerts allow monitoring across multiple properties simultaneously.
• Detection data from all sites is aggregated for trend analysis, investigative review, and incident reporting.
• New sites can be added to the network without disrupting existing deployments.
• Full integration with TAK-based platforms used by executive protection, investigative, and field response teams – drone detections appear as real-time tracks alongside existing operational coordination.

Warning Signs of Drone Surveillance

Drone surveillance often goes unnoticed. The following are indicators that your property may be a target:

• A buzzing or humming sound near the property, especially at dawn, dusk, or late at night.
• A small aircraft spotted hovering or circling your home or office on more than one occasion.
• Security cameras capturing brief, unexplained aerial movement.
• Photographs or video surfacing that could only have been taken from an aerial vantage point.
• A high-profile event, legal matter, or business transaction that could motivate adversarial surveillance.
• A custody dispute, divorce, or civil litigation where the opposing party may seek to gather information.

How It Works

1. Confidential Consultation – We discuss your concerns, assess the situation, and determine whether counter-drone detection is appropriate for your needs.
2. Site Assessment & Deployment – We evaluate the property, install the detection system in a discreet configuration, and calibrate it to the environment.
3. Monitoring & Reporting – Detections generate real-time alerts, with ongoing system health monitoring, detection summaries, and incident documentation available to support investigative or legal follow-up.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

You secure your home, office, and communications. Your airspace should not be ignored. Our counter-drone detection investigations give you the ability to know when an unauthorized drone is approaching – and the documented evidence to respond appropriately.
