Drone Detection for
Law Enforcement
A modern drone can easily carry a payload weighing a couple of pounds. Drones can be modified to carry and drop guns, chemicals, and explosives. Videos on YouTube show drones retrofitted with guns that can fire remotely or customized with a flamethrower. As drone use increases, law enforcement has to deal with the risk of people using drones for nefarious purposes.
Even high-profile gangs and the cartel are using drones to spy on law enforcement to capture video and gain intel, know whereabouts of officers, and in some cases to smuggle contraband across the border.

Law enforcement and first responders need to be aware of potential threats from the air. Knowing which drones are flying in a certain area, their make and models, their payload capacities and the paths that they are on, can all be useful information that helps officers determine the level of risk posed by each threat. Knowing the location of the drone pilot can help officers respond to any evolving situation.
AirSight equips law enforcement agencies with best-in-class, multi-layered drone detection technology to combat unauthorized drone activity and emerging aerial threats. Our AirGuard software goes beyond conventional detection by integrating multiple sensor technologies into a single, powerful platform, providing real-time intelligence to support public safety, critical incident response, and investigative operations.
With drone and pilot location tracking, AirGuard enables officers to quickly identify, track, and respond to unauthorized drone activity, helping law enforcement prevent security breaches, protect high-risk areas, and enforce airspace regulations with precision.

Detect and Track All Drones Flying in Your Area with AirGuard
AirSight’s technology provides a tiered detection approach, ensuring full visibility into unauthorized drone activity.
Layer 1: Remote ID & RF Signal Detection
identifies drones broadcasting FAA-mandated Remote ID signals and provides real-time alerts for drones operating near restricted areas.
Layer 2: RF Direction Finding & Pilot Location Tracking
Pinpoints the exact location of drone operators and allows law enforcement to identify and stop unauthorized pilots.
Layer 3: Radar-Based Drone Detection
Detects drones flying without communication signals and ensures visibility even when criminals use stealth UAVs.
