DeTect is a leading specialized developer of UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and drone detection systems, for monitoring, defense and tracking. Based on advanced tracking radar and remote sensing technologies, our drone detection radars are deployed worldwide in a broad range of security and surveillance applications, as well as for long-range monitoring of GBDAA BVLOS drone operations support.
DroneWatcher is a multi-tiered UAV and drone detection and defense solution incorporating three different state-of-the-art technologies that can be used independently or combined to form a layered, highly customisable drone tracking and interception platform.
DroneWatcherRF extends the functionality and range of DroneWatcherAPP with a compact, standalone electronics enclosure that can be mounted at the perimeter of a facility with only nominal power and network requirements.
With an increased range of up to 2 miles and a continually updated database of drone RF signatures, DroneWatcherRF provides an ideal counter-drone solution for higher-level security requirements.
HARRIER DSR (drone surveillance radar) adds an advanced military-grade solid-state Doppler radar as a final layer to the DroneWatcher solution, enabling drone detection at over 2 miles even without RF or GPS signatures and in complex cluttered environments.
With the ability to detect and track not only small consumer and prosumer drones but also military cooperative and non-cooperative UAVs, HARRIER DSR deals with autonomous controlled drones not picked up by DroneWatcher’s lower two layers, and can be interfaced with a wide range of ancillary sensors such as video systems and third party interception technologies.

DeTect’s HARRIER radars are designed specifically for detection and tracking of small targets with low radar-cross section and non-linear movement, making them ideal for protection against rogue drones as well as manned aircraft and marine vehicles.
HARRIER drone detection radars provide full, multi-functional surveillance coverage from ground level to above 20,000 feet AGL, and are capable of simultaneous air and marine target detection and tracking in high-clutter environments. Automatic drone ID and intrusion alerts provide real-time situational awareness of potential non-cooperative UAS threats.
HARRIER detection systems are ideally suited for anywhere that protection against potential drone threats is required, from small facilities to large areas. Potential tracking radar applications include airport and infrastructure protection, public event security, border and coastline surveillance, and more.

Dual-Purpose Drone & Bird Detection Radar
UAS and bird strike detection for commercial & military airfields
MERLIN True3D BDR-DDR is the world’s first dual-function radar system for both counter-UAS and bird control. Designed to protect commercial airports and military airfields and air bases, the versatile system is available in both fixed and mobile variants.
The system incorporates advanced solid-state Doppler radars for long-range detection as well as our True3D panel radars for full 360-degree surveillance and protection of critical runway approach and departure corridors. Radar-controlled EO/IR cameras and DroneWatcher RF-DR radio frequency sensors can also be optionally integrated for real-time target classification and identification.
MERLIN True3D BDR-DDR provides a long-distance operating range of two to six miles, as well as 360-degree airspace surveillance around the site from near surface to above 18,000 ft AGL.

Based on DeTect’s proven HARRIER Air Surveillance Radar technology, the HARRIER S200 Ground-based Sense-and-Avoid (GBSAA) provides long-range airspace monitoring, enabling extended beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations for UAVs. HARRIER S200 systems are available in fixed and mobile configurations, and can be customised for installation on many different vehicles, buildings and towers.
The system is based on solid-state Doppler S- or X-band radar, and simultaneously detects both transponder-equipped cooperative UAS as well as non-cooperative manned and unmanned aircraft up to a range of 20 miles. Both Secondary Traffic Advisory System (TAS) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) are supported, and flexible risk alert zones and intrusion perimeters can be defined by the user.
Real-time control and information display is available to multiple users via mobile phones, tablets and networked computers.
HARRIER S200 GBSAA is ideal for a wide variety of long-range BVLOS operations, including inspection of pipelines, wind farms, utilities and infrastructure, as well as security, search and rescue and border patrol.
