Force protection

Early drone detection with our products enhances force protection functions where UAS pose a threat to personnel and facilities.

Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) are vital in any 21st-century force protection military operation. Controlling airspace in operational areas is paramount in preserving life and achieving tactical objectives.

Drones often attack a military/security organization’s headquarters and areas of operation. Drones can be precursors to lethal force if not detected early. Additionally, the enemy uses them for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) making drones extremely effective in inflicting precision attacks often resulting in casualties and/or surveillance artifacts for propaganda purposes.

Threat Types for Force Protection:

Weaponization by Non-State Actors
Surveillance of Facilities and FP Operations
Corrective fire during an Indirect fire event
VBIED Operation
Propaganda Footage

Border Protection

SkyView’s mobile and fixed-site products deliver robust, long-range detection of UAS activity in support of border security operations.

Drones are becoming an ever-growing concern at the border. Commercially available and DIY UAS technology is increasingly being used by criminal organizations for smuggling activities as well as monitoring border protection operations. This has created a requirement for reliable technologies like Verus Technology Group’s SkyView to alert border personnel of nefarious drone operations.

Threat Types for Border Protection:

Human Trafficking
Illegal Border Crossing
Drug Smuggling
Border Patrol ISR
Interference with BP Flight Operations

Government

SkyView CUAS detection products provide governments and organizations with situational awareness of UAS activity.

Public Infrastructure has never been more vulnerable than they are now in the age of the affordable and commercially available drones. The proliferation of Class 1 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has presented governments with a new threat against facilities and interests both domestically and abroad. Best practice strategies suggest that governments should proactively monitor and control their respective airspaces via adaptable drone detection and mitigation programs.

Constituents are looking to their governments during this period of heightened terrorism activity for practical, effective UAS solutions which ensure an acceptable level of public safety is maintained. Governments who fail at recognizing the current threat posed by unregulated drone usage to public safety, national security and strategic interests are prime targets in this new phase of modern diplomacy and warfare.

Threat Types for Government/Public Infrastructure:

Nuclear, energy generation, and storage facilities
Water holding, treatment, and disbursement centers
Airports and healthcare operators
Telecommunication and financial institutions
Government assets/buildings including scientific research stations

Airport

SkyView-DIVR delivers robust, long-range detection and tracking of UAS activity near airports to increase the security and safety of airport operations.

The rising popularity and advancement of consumer drone technology has resulted in an increased number of commercial and private use Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) occupying airspace. However, regulations regarding the safe and proper use of drones are lagging behind the increased possession of them. This has revealed a variety of scenarios in which the presence of drones can threaten the safety of planes and their passengers.

Increased drone traffic in the vicinity of airports has resulted in a spike in near-miss incidents with commercial and civilian aircraft and caused costly delays to flight scheduling or interference with first responder air operations. Therefore, reliable detection and management of problematic drones before an incident occurs is imperative for public safety.

Threat Types for Airport:

Intentional interference with Commercial and Private Aircraft Operations
Unintentional interference with airport operations by uninformed operators
Smuggling weapons and contraband past physical security checkpoints

Public Events

SkyView’s advanced detection library and range of detection are particularly useful for public events which can span very large areas.

In addition to the typical security risks event organizers currently account for, the use of sUAS (e.g., drones) for malicious purposes is an emerging and highly dangerous threat as they become more publicly available. Easily customized, drone activity in this capacity could present a significant risk to the public and can help facilitate a major attack either by weaponized payload delivery or through surveillance activity in the planning stages or by documenting the attack.

This, coupled with the slow adaptation of drone regulation to the emerging threat posed by increased drone usage, shows the importance of implementing a drone detection policy at a minimum.

Threat Types for Public Events:

Harm to event attendees and event staff
Disruption of event operations or commencement ceremonies
Smuggling weapons and contraband past physical security checkpoints
Surveillance and intelligence gathering of event security operations

Correctional Centers

SkyView UAS detection solutions empower prisons to protect and secure their facilities quickly since the deployment of SkyView is much less demanding than other drone detection technology.

Around the world, sUAS (e.g., drones) have become a problematic contraband delivery method for prisons. Drones are able to stealthily penetrate correctional facilities’ airspace and make drop-offs that human mules either cannot achieve or would require convoluted, well-timed planning.

Prison authorities have reported a large increase in cell phones, weapons, and drug importation into correctional facilities due to drone activity. The drop-offs range from simple one-time drops to more lucrative and reoccurring smuggling operations. Substances include anything from drugs to cigarettes to cellphones with inmates coordinating with “wingmen” outside the prison walls, even going so far as delivering contraband directly to an inmate’s window. Thus, drone detection, identification, and mitigation strategies are required for reducing smuggling activities.
