Dedrone Introduces Localization Technology to Stop Unauthorized Drones
New Sensor Pinpoints Location of Drones and Pilots in Real-Time, Providing Immediate Airspace Risk Assessment
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1, 2018 - Dedrone, the market and technology leader in airspace security, today announced the launch of their new radio frequency (RF) sensor, the RF-300, which automatically locate drones and their pilots. Combined with the broad coverage and early warning capabilities of Dedrone’s RF-100, the new RF-300 adds situational awareness for organizations to determine the nature and severity of threats from unauthorized drones.
Key Highlights of Dedrone’s RF-300
- Automatically tracks a drone’s flightpath, providing advance opportunity to protect sensitive infrastructure and deploy security measures
- Pinpoints the location of a drone pilot, enabling security personnel to either alert law enforcement of an illegal intrusion or confront the pilot at their launch site
- Connects to DroneTracker, Dedrone’s software platform, which combines multiple sensors and countermeasures, including RF, cameras, and microphones, for complete airspace security
Dedrone’s RF-300 builds on the capabilities of the widely-deployed Dedrone RF-100. Together, both sensors provide robust airspace security. Dedrone’s RF-100 is designed to diagnose the number of drones in protected airspace, while RF-300 collects forensic evidence to take recourse against malicious pilots and prevent them from disrupting a protected site. RF-based direction finding technology was previously only available in military-grade solutions, but with the release of Dedrone’s RF-300, the same technology is now available to enterprises and non-military organizations.
“The ultimate protection a facility can take against drone threats is to stop the pilot before they can cause any harm, and hold them accountable for damages” shares Joerg Lamprecht, CEO and co-founder of Dedrone. “Dedrone’s RF-300 provides this opportunity to enable law enforcement and site security leaders to locate and take action against trespassing pilots.”
In addition to launching the Dedrone RF-300, the company also recently announced DroneTracker 3, the industry’s first airspace security solution that includes automated summary reporting for instant diagnosis of drone airspace activity. DroneTracker, RF-100, and the new RF-300, when combined, make the Dedrone solution a complete, reliable, and accurate platform for drone detection and classification.
