In July 2025, Accipiter Radar partnered with Airspace Link, Inc. and Seneca Nation Group to support the Pensacola Blue Angels Annual Beach Air Show, safeguarding both the Blue Angels and other aircraft from the threat of unauthorized drones in the airspace.
Accipiter’s drone detection sensors and services were deployed to support a multiagency effort in Escambia County to support safe flight operations throughout the airshow.
Airspace Link’s Drone Operations Management System (DOMS) was fed in real-time by Accipiter’s Counter UAS Smart Surveillance Network and assisted in securing the operational airspace.
Chief Greg Campenella of Escambia County Fire and Rescue, commented “This collaboration effort showcased a new level of innovation in air space control, management, and collision avoidance, helping maintain a sterile air space throughout the event. It was an amazing experience.”
Dr. Tim Nohara, President and CEO of Accipiter, stated, “Drones bring an exciting promise of transforming air mobility, but drones are as difficult for pilots to see as birds and can cause even more damage. Aviation safety can be maintained by having both drone operators and crewed pilots share the safety responsibility of airspace.”
Accipiter Radar continues to advance Smart Surveillance Networks and automated decision support capabilities, enabling improved information sharing and interoperability among stakeholders to enhance safety and operational efficiency.
