Vancouver, WA – 05/19/2019— As law enforcement agencies nationwide face mounting challenges from unauthorized drone activity, Aerial Defense Systems (ADS) has introduced a scalable, portable detection tool designed to equip patrol officers with real-time aerial threat awareness. The ADS DroneTracker™ offers an affordable, easily deployable solution that enables patrol officers to detect drones on the move without the need for complex infrastructure.


Over 2.5 million drones are currently active in U.S. airspace, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. While many serve positive purposes, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have increasingly been exploited for surveillance, interference with emergency response, contraband delivery, and privacy violations. Until now, frontline officers have lacked affordable, mobile tools to detect or respond to these aerial threats.


“This is a turning point for law enforcement technology,” said a spokesperson at Aerial Defense Systems. “The ADS DroneTracker™ enables patrol units to identify and track drone activity with the same ease as monitoring traditional threats—without requiring complex or expensive infrastructure.”

Key Features of the ADS DroneTracker™:

  • Detects drones broadcasting Remote ID (e.g., DJI, Autel, Parrot)

  • Displays pilot location and live flight path via the ADS Command App

  • Coverage range of up to 5 kilometers (3.1 miles)

  • Operates via LTE, Bluetooth, or USB with no network setup required

  • Lightweight at just 64 grams (comparable to a police bodycam)

  • Designed for rugged field conditions with mobile device compatibility

 

The solution is plug-and-play, built for non-technical officers, and designed to deploy instantly in the field.


Practical Use Cases Include:

  • Special events and crowd control

  • School and community zone monitoring

  • Perimeter patrol of high-risk infrastructure

  • Tactical team support (SWAT, fire response)

  • Night patrols in low-visibility zones

 

The ADS DroneTracker™ has also been engineered for seamless integration with existing department systems. Through API support, departments can consolidate drone detection data across units and create centralized monitoring dashboards.

In addition to real-time tracking, the device logs drone metadata and pilot data for legal documentation, chain of custody, and internal reporting—ensuring accountability and evidentiary support in enforcement operations.


A Strategic Response to the 2025 Landscape

With FAA Remote ID requirements now fully enforced and local drone regulations tightening, 2025 marks a critical period for public safety organizations to modernize their operational toolkits. The ADS DroneTracker™ addresses this demand by offering an entry-level price point with advanced detection features.


Availability

The ADS DroneTracker™ is available for immediate order. Agencies may also request product demos or submit quote requests for scaled deployments.
