Technical guidance and operational perspectives on drone detection, Remote ID and counter-UAS from the AirSentinel team.
BLOG · SEP 18, 2026In September 2019, security guards at Arizona’s Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station watched six unidentified drones cross the plant’s perimeter fence and hover near the reactor domes. Nothing was damaged. But for the hours it took to assess the threat, one of the country’s largest power plants had to divert security resources, track an aircraft […]

BLOG · SEP 17, 2026A decade ago, “airspace security” was something only airports and military installations thought about. Today, a $500 consumer drone can fly over a stadium, a power substation, a correctional facility, or a VIP’s backyard, and most of the organizations responsible for protecting those spaces have no way of knowing it’s there until someone looks up. […]

BLOG · SEP 17, 2026A port can secure gates, fences, and waterside access points yet still have an unmonitored approach overhead. Drone detection for maritime security gives terminal operators, port authorities, and vessel-security teams visibility into low-altitude activity around berths, cargo areas, cranes, fuel infrastructure, restricted facilities, and vessels at anchor. That visibility matters because drones can be used […]
Read articleAirspace security infrastructure is undergoing a fundamental architectural transition. For years, commercial enterprise sites relied on single-vendor protocol demodulators, most notably DJI AeroScope, as their primary drone detection system. These legacy installations operated by listening for known signal preambles and parsing unencrypted telemetry data streams. However, following DJI’s official discontinuation of AeroScope in March 2023 […]
Read articleCritical energy infrastructure faces an evolving, highly dynamic operational threat environment. Downstream oil refineries, offshore gas platforms, and midstream transmission networks require continuous perimeter awareness. Installing a specialized drone detection system provides early warning against unauthorized aerial intrusions, industrial espionage, and operational disruptions. However, integrating aerial monitoring within hazardous petrochemical environments requires precise engineering, rigorous […]

BLOG · SEP 16, 2026Drones are cheap, capable, and everywhere. A device that can carry a camera over a stadium, loiter above a substation, or drift across an airport’s approach path now costs less than a laptop and that math is exactly why security teams are being asked to justify spending five or six figures on a drone detection […]

BLOG · SEP 8, 2026A packed stadium is one of the hardest places to secure from the sky. Fifty thousand people sit under open air, cameras track every angle at field level, yet the space directly above the bowl often goes unwatched until a drone is already circling the lights. That gap is exactly why drone detection for stadiums […]

BLOG · SEP 8, 2026Every open-air venue eventually has to ask the same question: what happens if a drone shows up uninvited? A festival with thousands of people on a field, a stadium hosting a night game, or a marathon finish line packed with spectators has one security gap that traditional ground-based measures cannot completely address: the airspace above […]

BLOG · SEP 8, 2026Ports manage large, active environments that include shipping areas, cargo zones, restricted facilities, vessels, cranes, and operations running throughout the day and night. Ground teams may monitor gates, yards, vessels, and perimeter points, yet low-altitude airspace can remain difficult to observe. An unidentified drone over a port can raise immediate questions. Is it part of […]

BLOG · SEP 8, 2026Critical infrastructure facilities operate in environments where security, continuity, and airspace awareness are essential. Power plants, utilities, airports, ports, government facilities, and other sensitive sites can face unauthorized drone activity that may create operational and security concerns. As commercially available drones become more accessible, security teams need better visibility into low-altitude airspace around protected locations. […]
