AeroDefense integrates O.W.L.’s radar to deliver layered airspace security solution

Patented Radio Frequency Spectrum Sensing and Radar Combine for Fast and Accurate Drone and Pilot Tracking

AeroDefense, provider of fixed and mobile Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum sensing drone and pilot detection solutions, today announced its integration of Observation Without Limits (O.W.L.) radar ground and air detection capability with their AirWarden™ system.

Some critical infrastructure entities require a multi-layer technology approach to combat the threat of unauthorized drones and people. An AeroDefense AirWarden RF spectrum sensing system integrated with O.W.L.’s leading radar technology offers a solution that detects both RF-based and radio-silent, small to large, low speed to high speed drones and their operators as soon as the drone is turned on.

To meet sophisticated drone detection users’ requests for as much data as possible to help guide their security teams’ responses, the integrated system presents each detection type and method in an easily identifiable manner on AirWarden’s intuitive user interface.

AeroDefense Founding CEO, Linda Ziemba, says, “By combining the strengths of both systems, AirWarden offers our correctional facility customers a contraband prevention platform to detect and prevent airborne contraband deliveries by drone and ground-based contraband deliveries by people or vehicles. It also gives our utility customers an integrated platform to detect both human and drone traffic at unprotected electric substations.”

The integration supports the O.W.L. GroundAware® family of 2D and 3D digital beamforming radar systems used by critical infrastructure and government sectors around the world.

“We have learned firsthand that layered security is essential for comprehensive drone situational awareness. We are pleased to partner with AeroDefense to provide their customers an added layer of low-altitude airspace surveillance, plus simultaneous ground coverage for detecting and tracking drone operators,” says Tom Gates, O.W.L. president.

The integrated system will be on display at O.W.L.’s exhibit in booth 11099 at ISC West, the most comprehensive security industry conference in the US, taking place in Las Vegas March 29-30.

About AeroDefense: AeroDefense offers fixed and mobile drone detection solutions for stadiums, airports, correctional facilities, military forces, and other critical infrastructure. AeroDefense’s patented Radio Frequency (RF) based drone detection system, AirWarden™, detects, classifies, locates, and tracks both drone and pilot simultaneously, providing actionable intelligence to respond effectively (and safely) to drone threats. Because AirWarden passively detects drone signals via RF spectrum sensing, it recognizes devices it has not seen before, unlike systems reliant on signature databases, and does not violate federal criminal surveillance laws. Based in Oceanport, NJ, AeroDefense is a privately held company with all engineering, manufacturing, and support based in the US.

DJI Mini 2 Errors: What They Mean (And How to Fix Them) | Droneblog

Image
Nothing brings a drone operator down quicker (pun intended) than bad weather and drone error codes.  We wait until it gets better with the weather, eventually, although our highly anticipated day of flying is ruined.  However, drone error codes can be more than simply waiting out the issue or hoping it resolves itself. Error codes and the inability to fly the DJI Mini 2 because of these errors can be a nuisance, but, when those codes are decoded, explained, and suggestions on how to fix the issue come to the fore, things get easier. We’ll be looking at a laundry list of DJI Mini 2 error codes, what they mean, and the steps to fix them.  The codes will be listed numerically to locate specific codes easier within the article. These codes are: Code 10001Code 10016Code 10022Code 10023Code 30007Code 30008Code 30047Code 30049Code 30050Code 30055Code 30060Code 30064 Code 30085Code 30105Code 30168Code 30210Code 30224Code 30226Code 40002Code 40011Code 40012Code 40021Code 180016Code 180030Code 1...

DJI Transmission System (Everything You Need to Know)

Image
An essential feature behind a DJI drone that is often overlooked is the drone transmission system. I have personally flown multiple DJI drones from different generations, and I can say – good heavens, what a difference! DJI drones usually have the OcuSync transmission system, which is unique and proprietary to DJI. The transmission module is installed on all DJI drones and cannot be upgraded or changed, but it comes in different versions. And the flight range, penetration, controller compatibility, and a few more factors depend on it. Here, I’ll share with you everything you need to know about the DJI transmission system, why it matters, the difference between them, and how we can identify one. Behind DJI OcuSync: Factors & Analysis A transmission system in a drone is one of the most critical parts without which a drone cannot fly at all. It simply cannot make a connection between a drone remote controller and the drone itself. In consumer DJI drones, we have the OcuSy...

Autel EVO 2 Pro: 3 Most-Common Problems (With Solutions) | Droneblog

Image
The Autel EVO 2 Pro drone is a very powerful drone with many features, but it does have a few drawbacks that I have found while using it. Despite the issues I have experienced, the Autel EVO 2 Pro is still a great drone that I would recommend to anyone looking for a foldable drone with a 20MP camera. While the Autel EVO 2 Pro is a strong drone model overall, there are a few areas of weakness. The controller, lack of accessories, and flight characteristics could use some work on Autel’s end to get this drone to the top of its class. Even with the problems I have experienced, there are still many ways to fly the EVO 2 Pro issue-free. Let’s take a closer look at some of the issues you might experience and ways to work around them to get the footage you’re looking for. 1. Autel EVO 2 controller issues As a professional drone operator, I have used a few different drone controllers and think the controller that comes with the EVO 2 Pro is just too small and not balanced properly. Let’s discu...
