AeroDefense has launched AirWarden™ Essentials to monitor drone traffic through networked drone Remote ID broadcasts for local and wide area views. Annual single and multi-user subscription plans can be purchased directly from AeroDefense’s website.
As part of the package, AeroDefense provides the small AirWarden Receiver – designed for quick installation on a building or pole – which connects to the cloud-based Command Console automatically through LTE or ethernet. The company says setup takes approximately ten minutes and that no ongoing maintenance is needed.
AirWarden Essentials texts, emails, and provides on-screen alerts that pinpoint both the drone and pilot locations when drones enter a customer’s alert zone. It offers regional live monitoring capabilities which enable drone detection across multiple locations from a single interface. AirWarden Essentials’ History View enables detailed analysis of the drone’s flight path and behaviour to identify patterns and trends. A search feature allows users to query past drone events within their alert zones by specific IDs including but not limited to event ID, drone ID, and pilot ID which aids in the retrieval of relevant data for analysis and allows users to investigate recurring events or drones.
Built on AeroDefense’s Collaborative Drone Detection Network (CoDDN) developed through a US Department of Defense contract, AirWarden Essentials allows common views for agencies that may work together on incident response.
AeroDefense reports that the University of Mississippi is the first customer to deploy AirWarden Essentials.
