Collaboration in Counter-Drone Technology

Drones already fulfill many roles in various fields, but they are also one of the many IoT endpoints that add to the growing chaos that security leaders must navigate. An advanced counter-drone technology will secure the world’s most critical sites. 

As part of an embedded technology partnership, Dedrone, an airspace security expert, will integrate BlackBerry AtHoc software into its products to enable real-time secure alerts when a malicious or unauthorized drone is detected in an airspace. BlackBerry specializes in secure communications. 

When an unauthorized drone enters restricted airspace, the new system will allow a precise, in time response to control the situation, basing on BlackBerry AtHoc’s advanced alerting capabilities combined with Dedrone’s drone detection technology.

Dedrone’s technology is based on machine-learning software with best-in-class hardware sensors, electronic attack methods like smart jamming, and defeat weapons to provide early warning, classification of, and mitigation against drone threats. 

Dedrone has integrated extensive and granular alerting functionality directly to AtHoc. This allows the creation of automated, highly-targeted alerts based on a range of criteria, including flight zones, drone behavior, and user groups – for a more efficient, focused response to the presence of an unauthorized drone.
