DroneShield has announced the discharge of a serious firmware update for its global fleet of counterdrone (C-UAS) devices. With the worldwide introduction of Distant ID laws, drone manufacturers have developed proprietary distant identification approaches which are becoming increasingly essential within the management of the low altitude airspace.
Using DroneShield’s DroneLocator technology, the corporate’s devices are actually capable of detect a spread of Distant ID signals, including those previously only available via the DJI AeroScope product. DroneLocator can display critical information equivalent to the drone’s location, home location, serial number and speed, in addition to the situation of the pilot. These improvements can be found for its man-portable, vehicle/ship and fixed-site products.
Enrolled devices can even receive a quarterly update to the DroneShield RFAI Artificial Intelligence engine, which provides an answer for illegal, unregistered, and hostile drones. DroneShield RFAI might be run concurrently with DroneLocator on a single DroneShield device, with DroneShield products running AI processing on edge. Each solutions are able to operating without web connection.
DroneLocator technology significantly increases the applications for DroneShield products, including an expansion of C-UAS, Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM), Low Altitude Airspace Monitoring, Drone Security and Drone Fleet Management. The update also includes enhanced performance in high noise environments, maps available on embedded devices, and an improved graphic user interface
“The addition of DroneLocator to our detection technology suite is the continuation of our long-term technique to offer major enhancements to the present product range via our software subscription model,” said DroneShield CTO Angus Bean. “We’re pleased the technology is out there immediately for all our existing end user community. This technology has been heavily requested by the C-UAS and adjoining industries.”
