Airport Counter-UAS Implementation Guide
2026-06-25Protecting Power Plants from Drone Threats
2026-06-25RF detection excels at identifying control links and operator bearings at long range with low power draw. Radar provides accurate tracks and works when drones fly autonomously without RF emissions.
Most mature programs combine both through sensor fusion to reduce false alarms from birds and ground clutter. OEM sensor modules integrate via open APIs for custom architectures.
RF-only architectures miss autonomous flights; radar-only systems struggle with small cross-sections at long range. Fusion weights evidence so operators trust alerts during high-clutter events like stadium broadcasts or airport ground traffic.
Band coverage should match local threat libraries—common ISM bands at 2400–2483, 5150–5350, and 5725–5850 MHz plus sub-GHz and optional GNSS on selected SKUs. See our catalog for SKU-level band plans rather than generic wideband claims.
Evaluate both modalities in YOUR clutter environment before selecting a single-sensor shortcut. Proof-of-performance demos beat datasheet comparisons every time.
