Products & Solutions
DedroneTracker.AI
A plug-and-play software platform that integrates RF sensors, radar, PTZ cameras and countermeasures into a unified airspace security picture. It provides continuous, autonomous detection, classification and tracking of drone threats and serves as the command layer for all other Dedrone hardware and mitigation tools.
DedroneDefender 2
An AI-powered smart jammer that neutralises drone threats from over 300 metres away using a 20-degree precision targeting cone. It handles multiple simultaneous targets through broad-spectrum and GNSS jamming, integrates directly with DedroneTracker.AI for autonomous threat handoff, and is designed for use in urban environments where minimising collateral RF interference matters.
DedroneFixedSite
A permanent multi-sensor installation for facilities that need continuous on-site coverage. Suited to airports, military bases, prisons and critical infrastructure, it combines RF detection, radar and camera layers in a configuration optimised for around-the-clock protection at a single location.
DedroneCity
A zero-install airspace security deployment for municipalities that need wide-area drone detection without building out infrastructure. It enables city-level coverage and is designed for rapid activation ahead of major public events or as a standing urban protection layer.
DedroneRapidResponse
A towable, multi-layered mobile detection unit for organisations that need to protect multiple sites or react quickly to changing threat environments. It can be repositioned between locations and is used by public safety and government agencies for event security and flexible perimeter protection.
DedronePortable
A man-portable expeditionary kit that delivers drone detection within minutes of arrival. Designed for military, government and rapid-response teams, it supports operations where permanent or vehicle-mounted infrastructure is not available.
