Airport Counter-Drone Consulting Services

Illegal drone activities near or at aerodromes made the news several times in the last few years – causing major disruption to aircraft operations and representing a major threat to passenger safety.

On the other hand, many airports benefit more and more from the utilisation unmanned aircraft system for several of their routine inspections (pavement, PAPI, ILS, etc.), as demonstrated in several airsight’s projects.

To manage both - legal and illegal - drone activities, new drone detection systems appeared on the market. Most of these systems use complex hardware (sensors) and software, claim to be able to detect, track, classify drones – and possibly respond to a threat.

Nevertheless, these systems rely on different technologies – notably in terms of hardware sensors – difficult to choose from, and the capital investment required is often proportional to the size of the area to be covered.

Also, all these systems depend on the desired Concept of Operations (CONOPS).

airsight, in collaboration with Frequentis, now proposes to guide airports in the selection of their drone detection system and associated mode of operations.

Frequentis is an independent CUAS system integrator, who provides expertise in optioneering and design of CONOPs with its dedicated control room consulting team. airsight is an aviation safety and airport specialist, who supports with the operational know-how and a safety-based approach in the decision-making process.

Are you investigating a drone detection system for your airport? Frequentis and airsight can accompany you in the entire process, from specifications development through tendering up to the final implementation, testing and commissioning.
