American drone detection hardware and software manufacturer, AeroDefense, has achieved a SAFETY Act Designation with the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of SAFETY Act Implementation.

According to AeroDefense, the achievement underscores the company’s success in protection of public gatherings, critical infrastructure, and sensitive sites from aerial threats.

The SAFETY Act was designed to encourage the development and deployment of effective anti-terrorism technologies and offers liability protections for providers and users of these technologies.

Originally recognized as an approved technology under the Developmental Testing and Evaluation (DT&E) category in 2019, AeroDefense has since demonstrated the effectiveness and reliability of its AirWarden™ system, an airspace security solution that detects, identifies, and tracks drone and pilot activity. AeroDefense was the first drone detection company to receive SAFETY Act recognition five years ago. The transition to the Designation category is a significant milestone that highlights AeroDefense’s tangible contribution to public safety since its DT&E award.

Linda Ziemba, founding CEO of AeroDefense, stated; “We’re honored that our DT&E award has led to our Designation status from DHS – a testament to our continued dedication to innovation and safety in this vital field.”
