D-Fend Solutions is addressing the growing threat of rogue drones at airports with advanced counter-drone technologies designed for sensitive and regulated environments.
As drone use increases worldwide, airports face serious risks from both negligent and malicious operators. A single drone incident can lead to grounded flights, cascading delays, angry passengers and significant financial losses.
Studies have shown that mid- and large-size drones can cause severe damage to aircraft, including shattered windshields, compromised structures and the need for emergency landings. Despite regulations and criminal penalties, unauthorized drone activity near airports continues to rise.
To counter these threats, airports need systems that go beyond basic detection and operate safely within aviation constraints. EnforceAir from D-Fend Solutions delivers a passive, radio frequency-based cyber-detection capability that identifies and tracks drones and their operators in real time. It distinguishes between authorized and unauthorized drones, preserving critical operations such as inspections and logistics.
When permitted by local regulations, EnforceAir’s mitigation technology can take control of unauthorized drones and land them safely in designated zones, all without jamming signals or disrupting airport infrastructure. The system also blocks the drone operator from regaining control, fully neutralizing the threat.
With preventative alerts and precise data on drone and pilot locations, EnforceAir equips airport security teams with the tools to act quickly and decisively. The result is improved situational awareness, enhanced safety and minimal disruption to flight schedules. By seamlessly integrating with existing security protocols, EnforceAir helps ensure uninterrupted operations and airspace protection for today’s complex airport environments.
