In response to growing demand for flexible, location-agnostic drone detection, AirSight has developed a new solution built for mobility without compromise: the AirSight Mobile Drone Detection Unit. Designed for rapid deployment and independent operation, this system brings AirSight's full-spectrum drone detection capabilities to environments where permanent infrastructure may not be practical—or possible.
Whether securing temporary event space, supporting remote infrastructure, or providing coverage at forward operating sites, the AirSight Mobile Unit enables organizations to maintain airspace awareness wherever it’s needed.
A Fully Integrated AirGuard Detection Platform—Built to Move
At its core, the mobile unit is engineered to deliver the robust AirGuard detection performance and reliability that AirSight customers expect from our established fixed installations—but in a compact, towable format. This versatile platform can be configured with AirSight’s proven detection technologies, ensuring comprehensive airspace awareness. Standard configurations for the mobile unit typically include:
- Advanced Sensor Capabilities: Incorporating Remote ID detection to identify compliant drones and reveal pilot locations swiftly (often within 2-5 miles), complemented by RF detection to identify and track non-Remote ID drones (also typically within a 2-5 mile range). These systems work together, enabling multi-sensor integration for a clearer operational picture.
- Real-Time Actionable Intelligence: Delivering instant notifications for unauthorized drone activity and enabling the tracking of both drone and operator live GPS locations.
- Comprehensive Drone Library: Capable of identifying an extensive range of drone models across commercial, recreational, and industrial classes.
- Wide Area Surveillance: Offering omni-directional coverage.
- Unlimited Software Users: All AirSight detection platforms, including mobile configurations, support unlimited software users for full team access.
The platform’s 20-foot telescoping tower, high-efficiency solar array, and maintenance-free battery system allow for extended autonomous operation in most environments, reducing the need for external power or manual oversight.
Adaptability Without Sacrificing Capability
Weighing under 1,400 lbs and equipped with a standard 2-inch hitch, the mobile unit can be transported with minimal logistical planning. Once on site, the system can be operational within minutes, offering immediate airspace control.
For customers facing more complex threat environments or requiring enhanced localization, the mobile unit can be upgraded with Directional RF Detection. This addition significantly boosts the system’s ability to identify and pinpoint the direction of non-Remote ID drones (typically within a 2-5 mile range), even those that do not emit known signals, thereby increasing both detection coverage and location accuracy for these challenging targets.
Practical Applications Across Sectors
Organizations across multiple industries are facing challenges that demand mobile detection capabilities. Use cases include:
- Securing temporary or remote energy infrastructure during construction or repair.
- Monitoring drone activity around major public events without installing permanent systems.
- Supporting military training exercises or field operations where drone incursions can pose operational risks.
- Reinforcing correctional facilities during expansions or while under elevated threat conditions.
In all these scenarios, the AirSight Mobile Unit provides actionable intelligence in real time—without the delays and complexities of permanent deployment.
Enabling Actionable Awareness—Anywhere
As drone activity becomes more dynamic, security operations must remain adaptable. The AirSight Mobile Unit is a direct response to this need: a self-contained, field-ready detection solution that enables fast, informed decision-making—even when the operating environment is in flux.
It reflects a broader shift in drone detection strategy—from static installations to flexible, scalable solutions that meet threats where they emerge. The mobile unit ensures that the high standard of AirSight's detection capabilities can be deployed with greater versatility than ever before.
