AirSight reports it has introduced an advanced filtering capability available through its AirGuard drone detection platform, designed to significantly enhance radar-based drone tracking.
“This new feature improves detection precision across complex environments by enabling intelligent filtering based on drone flight behavior—making it easier for security teams to focus on true threats,” said the company in a news release.
“In security-sensitive airspaces—such as airports, correctional facilities, and campuses—radars can detect a wide range of aerial activity. However, not every detection requires a security response. Conventional systems often overwhelm operators with benign or irrelevant drone movements, creating alert fatigue and slowing down response times.
“The AirGuard filtering feature addresses this challenge by allowing operators to filter drone detections based on customizable flight profiles. By applying precise filtering criteria, security teams can minimize distractions and direct their attention to drones that demonstrate suspicious behavior.
“AirGuard’s advanced filtering capability enables the system to suppress detections that don’t meet user-defined thresholds for:
- Inbound and Outbound Velocity – Distinguishing drones flying toward or away from a monitored area at specific speeds.
- Altitude – Focusing on drones that cross configured vertical boundaries.
- Range – Prioritizing drones within critical proximity zones.
“The filtering can combine these parameters simultaneously, enabling the system to handle complex detection scenarios with accuracy—like orbiting drones, parallel flight paths, and rapid-speed transitions—without flooding operators with non-essential alerts.
This filtering feature works seamlessly with Echodyne EchoGuard radars, says the company, as well as other radar systems supported by AirGuard. The process has been containerized using Podman to ensure smooth, scalable deployment across diverse security installations.
