Drones over the crowd
An unauthorised flight above a packed arena or a festival field is a crowd safety risk before it is anything else, and the decision window is short.
Large events
Drone detection and aerial overwatch for large events.
A drone over a crowd is a safety problem with a clock on it. Aerdefence detects what is in the airspace and puts a live aerial view of the ground into event control.

EVENTS
Knowing who is flying
Most event drone activity is a spectator, not a threat. Resolving the operator's position lets stewards resolve it on the ground in minutes.
Crowd flow and the approach
Gates, walkways, approach roads and car parks all move people at once, and a pinch point is far easier to ease before it forms.
The debrief afterwards
Licensing reviews and safety debriefs go better with footage and a detection record than with recollections.

Decisions made from what is actually happening below.
Deployment
How Aerdefence covers this ground.
Aerdefence Detect covers the airspace over the venue for the run of the event, with live detections and SMS alerts to the safety officer. The record of every flight is retained for the debrief.
Aerdefence Monitor works the other direction: our own pilots fly over the site and stream live HD footage to event control and An Garda Síochána, showing crowd build-up at the gates, traffic on the approach roads and car park capacity as it happens. Flights operate under the appropriate IAA authorisation for the site and the crowd below.
How it works
Detect. Analyse. Report.
IP67 HARDWARE
EN 4709-002 COMPLIANT
- 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.
