In light of escalating threats from adversarial drones,an Asian government has partnered with D-Fend Solutions to bolster its national defense.
Tasked with safeguarding prominent figures, including the president and other dignitaries, both domestically and internationally, the national security agency and the aviation safety authority sought a dependable counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS).
D-Fend solutions’ EnforceAir, leveraging cutting-edge RF cyber technology, emerged as the premier choice, offering accurate detection and neutralization of drone threats. Its established capability to pinpoint the locations of both drones and their operators in real-world scenarios made it the preferred option for enhancing the nation’s security framework.
The system’s adaptability, which supports various deployment methods and has undergone extensive testing within the nation, combined with D-fend Solutions’ commitment to professionalism and transparency, further reinforced EnforceAir as the ideal solution to fulfill the government’s rigorous security requirements.
Key stakeholders
The national security agency, along with its specialized units, is responsible for several critical functions, including:
- Protecting the president and other senior officials during both private and public engagements
- Detecting, preventing, and neutralizing potential security threats
- Ensuring public safety and order at secured facilities
- Addressing defense and counter-terrorism issues
Emerging Threats
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly becoming a notable threat within the nation, both at its borders and internally. The number of drones has surged annually,particularly those employed for unauthorized surveillance of sensitive sites such as government offices,military installations,and major public events.These drones pose a considerable security risk, with the potential to leak classified details or instigate breaches that could endanger national safety.
The government has encountered persistent challenges in formulating defensive strategies against drone threats, including the establishment of regulations governing UAV usage. Recognizing the necessity for a comprehensive system to detect and neutralize rogue drones, the government is taking proactive measures to enhance public security.
Strategic Solution
The nation has been systematically assessing various counter-drone technologies to combat these evolving threats. D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir was among the systems evaluated during this process. Unlike other solutions that fell short in the sensitive governmental context, EnforceAir distinguished itself with its non-jamming and non-kinetic RF cyber technology. This innovative approach enables EnforceAir to effectively mitigate drone threats without disrupting essential communications or risking collateral damage.
The successful performance of EnforceAir during the country’s stringent testing was a pivotal factor in its selection for nationwide implementation. Initially deployed on covert vehicles, it has been consistently utilized to safeguard the president and VIP officials, both domestically and internationally.
Advantages of EnforceAir
The incorporation of EnforceAir into the national security framework has yielded several significant advantages, including:
- Minimal disruption to critical communications and equipment
- Seamless integration with existing systems to counter both commercial and military-grade drone threats
- Clear operational understanding and transparency regarding system capabilities
- Real-time cyber takeover functionality across diverse operational scenarios
- Effective performance in RF-challenged and highly sensitive environments
- Elimination of false alarms and no requirement for line-of-sight operation
- Operational versatility across various settings
- Future readiness for expanding drone defense capabilities
Looking forward, the government plans to broaden the deployment of EnforceAir into additional sectors, including airports, large-scale events, stadiums, and arenas, ensuring comprehensive security across vital national infrastructure.
