Drones continue to be used in criminal activities, including monitoring police movements during protests, capturing harassing photos of private citizens, and interfering with law enforcement helicopters, such as a near-collision with an LAPD helicopter. A recent string of robberies in Texas began with burglars using drones to spy on vacant homes before stealing over $200,000 in cash and valuables. 

Law enforcement agencies have been looking for new counter-UAS technologies in order to cope with this challenge. The DroneFox Counter UAS system by WhiteFox Defense Technologies is an omnidirectional drone detection, identification, and mitigation system that has demonstrated the ability to detect and track drones at ranges over 15 km during customer testing. The system enables the user to assess the threat level, including the drone and pilot’s location and movement in real-time – a massive advantage in a world quickly experiencing a rise in drone threats.  

The system locates and tracks reckless and malicious drones. Authorized users can also employ DroneFox to mitigate drone threats, safely landing them. This rich dataset and analysis capability enables law enforcement to better respond to drone incidents, according to suasnews.com.
