Correctional facilities face a growing threat from drones being used to smuggle contraband such as drugs, weapons, cell phones, and other illicit materials into prison yards and high-security zones. Traditional perimeter security measures are not equipped to detect aerial intrusions, making prisons vulnerable to unauthorized drone activity.
Why Prisons & Correctional Facilities Need Drone Detection
- Contraband Smuggling & Criminal Coordination − Drones are frequently used to deliver illegal items, allowing inmates to coordinate with external criminal networks and compromise facility security.
- Surveillance & Escape Planning − Unauthorized drones can be used to gather intelligence on prison layouts, security patrols, and weak points, aiding in escape attempts or criminal coordination.
- Compromised Officer & Staff Safety − Drones carrying weapons or surveillance equipment can threaten correctional officers, jeopardizing the safety of both staff and inmates.
- Legal & Compliance Risks − Failure to prevent drone intrusions can result in security breaches, lawsuits, and violations of state and federal regulations.
How AirSight’s Drone Detection System Secures Prisons
- 24/7 Airspace Monitoring: Provides drone's make, model, speed, altitude, and GPS along with real-time pilot location.
- Non-Signal Drone Tracking with Radar Technology (Layer 3): Identifies drones that do not emit standard RF signals, tracking unauthorized UAVs through radar detection and high-quality videos.
- Accurate Alert System: Drones detected in our system are monitored by a human team making sure security teams are alerted on all active and potential drone threats in the airspace.
- Full Integration with Prison Security Systems: Connects with existing surveillance infrastructure, allowing for seamless coordination with security cameras, alarms, and rapid response teams.
We use multi-layered sensors including Remote ID, RF/DF detection, radar and video, to track drone flights and locate the pilots. We integrate with existing security infrastructure including alarms, video cameras, and access control.
