D-Fend Solutions’ EnforceAir RF cyber-based counter-drone solution has been implemented by the state security service and aviation safety department of an Asian country.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) pose growing threats within the country, such as unauthorized surveillance and photography of government buildings, military installations, and major events, which risks leaking confidential information and compromising national security.
To address these challenges, the country introduced legislation to regulate drone use and assign accountability for illegal operations.
Protecting Leadership & Critical Infrastructure from Drone Threats
The necessity of C-UAS protection has been recognized by the government, which sought to obtain advanced counter-drone solutions. Robust protection was required to defend against hostile drone threats targeting the president and other VIPs, both domestically and abroad.
Many factors contributed to EnforceAir’s selection. It has demonstrated success in local testing and flexible deployment options, including tactical, stationary, mobile, and man-portable setups.
Moreover, EnforceAir has displayed strong performance in real-world scenarios, detecting, identifying, and locating the most dangerous, prevalent drone threats and their pilots.
EnforceAir particularly stood out for its non-jamming, non-kinetic RF cyber mitigation, which safely neutralizes drone threats without disrupting surrounding communications or causing collateral damage.
Following its testing success, EnforceAir was deployed on covert vehicles and is now regularly used to support VIP protection efforts, with its adoption strengthening the country’s defense of high-profile individuals and sensitive locations.
Operational Benefits & Future Plans
EnforceAir counter-drone technology has provided many benefits to the country’s security efforts. Its implementation has resulted in minimal disruption to existing communications and equipment, seamless integration with other systems, including those targeting non-commercial or military drones, and real-time cyber takeover in diverse scenarios.
EnforceAir has shown high operational flexibility and reliable operation in RF-dense and sensitive environments. There have been no reports of false alerts and no dependency on line-of-sight.
Moving forward, further pilot projects are being explored to widen the use of EnforceAir into additional areas such as airports, public events, stadiums, and arenas.
