Pharma & biotech

Drone detection for pharma and biotech sites.

Manufacturing plants and research campuses hold process detail that is worth photographing. Aerdefence records what flies over the site, and who was flying it.

The exposure

What goes wrong here.

SECTOR 02 PHARMA

Process and plant IP

Layout, plant configuration and construction progress are all readable from the air. An overflight at the wrong week of a build is a competitive intelligence problem, not just a security one.

Site security and access

The same footage that maps a process line maps the gates, the yards and the shift patterns around them.

Group security reporting

Irish sites inside a global group are usually asked to evidence airspace activity to a corporate security function. A verbal account does not travel well.

Quiet detection

Nothing about the detection equipment should signal to an operator that the site is watching, or where from.

The airspace stays covered when the plant goes quiet.

Deployment

How Aerdefence covers this ground.

Aerdefence Detect listens passively from the edge of the site. There is no transmission from the equipment, so the operator stays unaware, and detections are resolved to make, model, serial number and operator coordinates in real time.

Every detection becomes a record: a dated incident PDF with the full flight path, ready for your own security review or for a group report. Detection data is held in EU data centres, with retention set to suit the obligations your site already works to.

How it works

Detect. Analyse. Report.

    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.
