Portable drone detection unit can be deployed anywhere in under 30 mins

Counter-drone specialist Dedrone has launched a portable drone detection unit, DedroneRapidResponse, that can identify, locate, and analyze nearly 300 drone types. The company says it has developed this sophisticated technology following the requirements presented by St. Petersburg Police Department for the 2022 Firestone Grand Prix, an IndyCar motor race.

Dedrone’s new AI-powered solution is designed primarily for use at large public events, such as sports, parades, concerts, etc. It is being offered in the form of a mobile platform attached to a tower, which can be anywhere from 30 to 50 feet in height. This means you’d need an SUV or truck to tow and maneuver the unit on a trailer.

Dedrone says its drone spotting tower can be deployed in under 30 minutes and offers a range of five kilometers through a multi-layered solution with two cameras to track multiple drones simultaneously.
