Airfence
A passive RF drone detection system that locates drones and their pilots in real time without emitting signals. A single unit covers up to 10 km and operates across 70 MHz to 6 GHz, detecting commercial and military drones and returning data on aircraft location, pilot location, home point and serial number. The system runs on a browser-based interface and can be deployed on a building or vehicle within minutes.
Airfence Military Edition
The full-spectrum C-UAS configuration of Airfence built for military operators, combining passive RF detection with a choice of kinetic and electronic countermeasures. The Asymmetric Jammer delivers 800 W of disruption across eight channels covering drone ISM bands and GNSS frequencies while preserving friendly communications. The Tactical Drone Factory countermeasure option produces up to 50 interceptor drones per day from a 20-foot shipping container, removing the need to stockpile obsolete inventory.
Airfence Extensions
A set of sensor modules that expand Airfence coverage beyond standard RF detection. The KELA directional finding antenna extends reliable detection range beyond 10 km. The Optical Perimeter System adds passive event-camera imaging for night-capable visual detection with no radio emissions, available in 2026. The Radar System adds active sensing for aircraft that emit no radio signals.
Sensofusion Aviation
An aerial counter-drone capability launched after the April 2026 acquisition of Atol Aviation. Airfence detection sensors are integrated onto manned aircraft, including the Atol Protector designed for governmental and defence roles, to monitor large areas where ground-based sensors are blocked by terrain, forests or buildings. New airborne products are planned for announcement in June 2026.
