AirSight, the company behind the AirGuard airspace security platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Flock, the public-safety operating system used by thousands of law enforcement agencies nationwide. The partnership establishes a real-time data feed from AirGuard into FlockOS, allowing airspace detections — including operator location — to appear directly in the same operating picture agencies already use for License Plate Reader (LPR) alerts, video, and other live data sources, according to an AirSight press release.
“The announcement comes against the backdrop of a recent success in central Louisiana that played distinct and complementary roles in stopping a drone-borne contraband-smuggling attempt at a correctional facility. In March 2026, the Grant Parish Sheriff’s Office announced charges against two Texas residents — Melanie Jean Worthington, 38, and Kassy Marie Cole, 41 — after authorities intercepted a drone-borne smuggling operation targeting a correctional facility. According to the Sheriff’s Office, the women had been paid approximately USD40,000 to fly methamphetamine, marijuana, tobacco, and contraband cell phones onto the prison grounds, concealed inside hollowed-out plastic crow decoys engineered to blend into the yard if discovered.”
AirSight’s drone and pilot detection capability, deployed at the facility, identified the unauthorized drone the moment it entered protected airspace and surfaced the operator’s broadcast location, said AirSight. With that information, Sheriff’s Office personnel were able to identify and arrest the smugglers.
The integration pushes AirGuard airspace intelligence into FlockOS delivers three operational capabilities. Every AirGuard detection — drone position, altitude, heading, velocity, and drone ID, including operator location when available — is pushed to FlockOS. The detection appears as a live, moving asset on the same operating map that agencies already use. Where AirGuard identifies an operator’s location, that location now appears in the same FlockOS map as Flock’s LPR data. For agencies with Flock DFR (Drone as First Responder), a soon-to-be released capability will allow AirGuard detections to serve as a launch trigger. “A confirmed unauthorized drone over a protected site can dispatch a Flock DFR within seconds of the threat — closing the loop between detection and aerial response faster than human dispatch alone.”
