Airport Counter-UAS Implementation Guide

Airport counter-UAS programs succeed when operations, security, and aviation authorities align early. Start with a threat assessment covering approach corridors, cargo areas, and public lands adjacent to the airfield.

Deploy fixed-site sensors along the perimeter with multi-layer detection. Integrate alerts with your existing VMS and define escalation paths to law enforcement.

Document frequency coordination for any mitigation capability and train operators on evidence preservation for regulatory reporting.

Stakeholder workshops should include ATC representatives, airport security, airline operators, and local law enforcement. Define geofences, alert thresholds, and communication trees before hardware arrives on site.

Proof-of-performance in representative clutter—approach paths, terminal RF noise, ground traffic—prevents costly rework after commissioning. Mobile units supplement fixed coverage for runway inspections and VIP movements.
