AirSight Launches Advanced Filtering Technology to Deliver Precision Drone Detection

AirSight is proud to introduce an advanced filtering capability available through its AirGuard drone detection platform, designed to significantly enhance radar-based drone tracking. This new feature improves detection precision across complex environments by enabling intelligent filtering based on drone flight behavior—making it easier for security teams to focus on true threats.

Solving the Noise Problem in Drone Detection

In security-sensitive airspaces—such as airports, correctional facilities, and campuses—radars can detect a wide range of aerial activity. However, not every detection requires a security response. Conventional systems often overwhelm operators with benign or irrelevant drone movements, creating alert fatigue and slowing down response times.

The AirGuard filtering feature addresses this challenge by allowing operators to filter drone detections based on customizable flight profiles. By applying precise filtering criteria, security teams can minimize distractions and direct their attention to drones that demonstrate suspicious behavior.

How the AirGuard Filtering Feature Works

AirGuard’s advanced filtering capability enables the system to suppress detections that don’t meet user-defined thresholds for:

• Inbound and Outbound Velocity – Distinguishing drones flying toward or away from a monitored area at specific speeds.
• Altitude – Focusing on drones that cross configured vertical boundaries.
• Range – Prioritizing drones within critical proximity zones.

The filtering can combine these parameters simultaneously, enabling the system to handle complex detection scenarios with accuracy—like orbiting drones, parallel flight paths, and rapid-speed transitions—without flooding operators with non-essential alerts.

Compatible with Echodyne and Other Radar Systems

Developed as part of AirSight’s commitment to multi-sensor integration, this filtering feature works seamlessly with Echodyne EchoGuard radars as well as other radar systems supported by AirGuard. The process has been containerized using Podman to ensure smooth, scalable deployment across diverse security installations.

Validated and Field-Tested

Rigorous testing in May 2025 confirmed that the filtering logic performed as intended across a variety of real-world flight scenarios. The system accurately filtered drones based on direction, speed, altitude, and range, while ignoring irrelevant detections—boosting efficiency without compromising situational awareness.

“Our goal with this feature is simple: help security teams focus on what matters most,” said Arya Rahmanian, Testing Coordinator at AirSight. “By giving operators control over what they see and what they don’t, we’re enhancing radar performance and enabling faster, more confident threat assessments.”

Precision-Driven, Mission-Ready

The new filtering capability reflects AirSight’s ongoing mission to deliver precision-driven, multi-sensor drone detection that adapts to the unique operational needs of each security environment. By integrating this feature, organizations can deploy more intelligent, more actionable drone detection across Echodyne and other radar platforms—streamlining workflows and strengthening security posture.
