New Drone Detection Solution Leverages Remote ID Broadcasts

AeroDefense has launched AirWarden™ Essentials – a new solution built to monitor drone traffic through networked drone Remote ID broadcasts, providing both local and wide area views. 

Designed as an affordable solution for entities concerned about drone incursions, AirWarden Essentials provides texts, emails, and on-screen alerts that pinpoint both the drone and pilot locations when drones enter a users’ alert zone. 

The solution offers regional live monitoring capabilities, enabling comprehensive drone detection across multiple locations from a single interface. 

AirWarden Essentials’ History View allows for detailed analysis of the drone’s flight path and behavior to identify patterns and trends, as well as aid in development of proactive security measures. 

The search feature allows users to query past drone events within their alert zones by specific IDs, including event ID, UAS ID, and pilot ID. This enables the quick and efficient retrieval of relevant data for analysis and allows users to investigate recurring events or drones.

Built on AeroDefense’s innovative Collaborative Drone Detection Network (CoDDN) accelerated through a Department of Defense contract, AirWarden Essentials allows common views for agencies that may work together on incident response. This advancement boosts efficiency and facilitates the often crucial coordination needed for response to drone threats.

AirWarden Hardware

As part of the AirWarden subscription service, AeroDefense provides the necessary hardware for effective drone traffic monitoring, ensuring full coverage in users’ specific areas of interest.

The small AirWarden Receiver, designed for quick installation on a building or pole, connects to the cloud-based Command Console automatically through LTE or ethernet. Setup takes about ten minutes, and no ongoing maintenance is required.

The University of Mississippi was the first to deploy AirWarden Essentials. Craig Wilmoth, Emergency Management Coordinator with the University of Mississippi Campus Police and Safety, commented, “We wanted a reliable, easy to operate drone detection system for our campus. With the AirWarden system by AeroDefense we got what we were looking for and more. 

“Since installing the product, we have been able to quickly identify every drone that flies on campus. The install was quick and easy, the sales and service continue to be professional and spot-on and as for price I believe it will be hard to beat.”
