New to drone detection? Just curious? Actively evaluating solutions? Here are 5 tips to help you when choosing a drone detection system.
1. Drone Detection Range isn't a good comparison tool
Why not? Because actual drone detection ranges vary greatly due to many factors, including:
The only way to truly determine which drone detection solution has the best range in your environment is to conduct an on-site test.
2. Determine your priority: Drone Detection or Controller Detection
At some of our prison customers, the priority is the drone. Their goal is to intercept the payload. But stadiums often want to know who is responsible for causing spectator panic or disrupting an event. For them, the ability to locate the drone controller is key. So when you plan demo missions or scenarios, make sure you test the drone detection solution features that are important to your business.
3. Make sure you understand all the costs
Drone detection system costs vary widely, but here are some important considerations:
4. In the United States it's illegal to 'take down' a drone
FAA regulations treat drones just like passenger aircraft. This means it's illegal to interfere with a drone in flight. So, unless you're a military entity, or you operate outside the United States, it is only legal to detect.
5. Decoding and demodulating a signal isn't a good way to obtain location data
Why? Here are 5 great reasons:
