Counterdrone (C-UAS) Protection for Prisons & Correctionals — DroneShield (2024)

DroneShield helps corrections protect against the use of UAS for contraband smuggling.

Prisons and Correctional Facilities face challenges from smugglers using UAS to deliver drugs, weapons, cell phones and other contraband onto facility grounds. As a result, UAS detection and disruption is critical to maintaining the highest standard of security. Prisons integrate DroneShield into their zone-based alarm systems to achieve consistent, complete monitoring of their perimeters, airspace and centralized facilities. Its alerts give advanced warning of UAS activity and can be configured to automatically disrupt UAS that enter a specified perimeter.

DroneShield systems combine multiple sensors including Radio Frequency, Radar and Optical Verification to provide complete awareness over sites. Fixed DroneSentry systems provide up to 8km range for early detection of UAS threats beyond the perimeter. Optional portable or fixed countermeasures enable complete control over detected threats, rapidly mitigating UAS at up to 2km. DroneShield fixed systems interface to the DroneSentry-C2 software, which can be integrated into existing security systems through RESTful API.

Detection

Our sensors have world-leading drone detection and tracking range performance

• Detect and track multiple drones simultaneously

• GNSS-navigated/”silent” drones can be picked up via their downlinks (sending telemetry/location and video feeds back to the pilot)

• RfOne offers superior performance compared to a radar:

  • Drastically less false alarms, better detection and tracking

  • Continues to hold track when drone hovers

• DroneShield software utilize Artificial Intelligence engines to accurately detect, ID and track targets

Site Protection

Contributes to more comprehensive surveillance through monitoring of air space as well as ground perimeters

Early Awareness

• Advanced warnings of commercial to unknown UAS used by smugglers and other unauthorized users

• Alerts security systems to type, location and direction of detections, preserving data from the alert

• Indicates location of drone pilot

Data & Evidence Collection

• Preserves data from alerts for use as digital evidence in legal proceedings

• DroneShield propriety DroneOptID software records camera footage of intruding drones to use as evidence

• Intuitive and feature rich alerting, tracking and reporting

Mitigation

• Disrupt incoming UAS forcing them to lower to the ground or return to operator allowing for law enforcement intervention

• Automatic zone defeat or manually disrupt threats
