Drone/Pilot Detection
for Airports



Airports in the United States are reporting increased numbers of drone encounters within the 5 mile Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restricted airspace designated around all airports, posing threats to passenger safety, flight operations, and regulatory compliance.
As more drones take to the skies, airports must adopt advanced airspace monitoring solutions to prevent potential disasters.
WHAT Can Airports Do to Be Proactive
Against Unauthorized Drones?
AirSight delivers a multi-layered drone detection system designed for airports of all sizes, providing early detection, real-time drone and pilot tracking, and actionable insights to airport security teams and air traffic control (ATC).

The AirSight Advantage
-
Early Threat Detection – Identifies unauthorized drones before they enter restricted airspace, reducing the risk of operational disruption.
-
Precise Classification – Alerts security teams to the drone make, model, speed, altitude, and GPS drone and pilot location.
-
Smart and Precise Alerts – Provides advanced warnings, alerts, and real-time monitoring of drone activity to allow actionable intervening.
-
Wide Area Coverage – Secures entire airport perimeters, runways, and terminal airspace with advanced sensor technology
-
Live and Playback Tracking – Captures and retains drone flight history for use as digital evidence in legal cases.
AirSight’s solutions fully align with FAA drone detection regulations, ensuring airports meet federal security requirements. Our systems also support Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidelines, allowing seamless integration with airport control centers and law enforcement agencies.
