Airports & aerodromes

Drone detection for airports and aerodromes.

An incursion is a safety event and a reporting obligation in the same moment. Aerdefence resolves the flight and produces the record the regulator expects.

The exposure

What goes wrong here.

SECTOR 05 AVIATION

Safety of the operation

A drone near an approach path forces decisions in minutes. Knowing the position, altitude and heading of the aircraft involved is what makes those decisions informed.

Mandatory reporting

Incursions are reportable. A detection record with path, serial and timing is the difference between a submission and a reconstruction.

Finding the operator

The response that stops a recurrence is the one that reaches the person flying. Operator coordinates are resolved alongside the drone's track.

Airspace context

Deployment

How Aerdefence covers this ground.

Aerdefence is built around the rules, geozones and reporting pipelines used by the Irish Aviation Authority, so the logs your team produces speak the same language as the regulator's. Detections are checked against the live IAA geozone overlay as they happen.

Each detection exports as an incident PDF with the full record: one click, one file, one signature, ready for review, audit or IAA ECAIRS submission. Alerts go by SMS to the duty manager while the flight is still in the air.

How it works

Detect. Analyse. Report.

  • 01

    Detect

    Aerdefence sensors listen passively from the edge of your site. Nothing is transmitted from the equipment, so the operator stays unaware.

  • 02

    Analyse

    Flight paths, make, model, serial number and operator coordinates are resolved in real time. The console cross-checks against IAA geozones to flag breaches.

  • 03

    Report

    A secure console for your operations team, configurable SMS alerts for your duty manager, and a clean PDF record of every detection, ready for review or regulator submission.
