SkeyDrone and Airport Intelligence have today announced a strategic collaboration to offer international airports a drone detection, response, and mitigation of impact offering.
The companies have developed “a phased, strategic journey that combines technology with governance, procedures, and collaboration,” they say in a press release. “It starts with risk assessments, geozone creation, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) definition and UTM integration for regulation, followed by deploying sensors for real-time monitoring. As data is gathered, threat criteria and response protocols must be refined and integrated into airport operations through coordinated procedures and targeted training.”
SkeyDrone brings drone detection technology that enables airports to monitor, detect and analyse drone activity in and around critical airspace. It includes a threat assessment module to ensure that alerts are meaningful and operational responses are proportionate. The platform can be tailored to the airport’s specific environment, including its active runway configuration.
Airport Intelligence translates detections into a concrete process. “Through the development of the CONOPS, an aligned way of working clearly defines how different types of detections should be handled, from routine monitoring to escalation and coordinated operational response, ensuring safety and security, while minimizing and mitigating operational impact,” said the press statement. “In this way, every action is aligned with airport processes, safety and security requirements and regulatory frameworks.”
The joint offering enables airports to move beyond standalone technology deployments towards a fully integrated solution.
