At Aerial Defense Systems (ADS), our mission is simple: give agencies the tools they need to stay safe, efficient, and prepared as drone activity grows. Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with a Police Department, who shared valuable feedback on the challenges his department faces. His concerns reflect what many agencies across the country are experiencing—and they highlight exactly why the ADS DroneTracker Kit and DroneTracker Scout exist.
Common Challenges Law Enforcement Faces
During our discussion, The Department UAV Tech Sergeant pointed out several recurring pain points:
Budget concerns – Current platforms like DroneSense stack costly subscriptions, draining budgets.
Lack of airspace visibility – Agencies often only see their own drones, leaving them blind to unknown aircraft.
Situational awareness gaps – Patrols, SWAT/search warrants, and multi-agency events expose blind spots.
Officer safety & liability – Distinguishing between friendly drones and potential threats is critical for both safety and legal protection.
Future-proofing – With drone misuse rising and skies getting busier, agencies need scalable solutions.
These issues are widespread, and solving them requires a balance of cost-effectiveness, reliability, and adaptability.
How ADS DroneTracker Provides the Solution
We designed our systems with these exact challenges in mind. Here’s how our solutions address them head-on:
Cost-effective deployment – No bloated subscription fees; scalable pricing to match agency size.
Full airspace visibility – Detects all drones in range, not just your own fleet.
Mission flexibility –
DroneTracker Kit (mobile) covers 1–3 miles, perfect for tactical ops and events.
DroneTracker Scout (fixed-site) delivers 10–15 miles of coverage, ideal for citywide protection.
Whitelisting – Keeps authorized drones from triggering false alerts.
Evidence-ready logging – Exportable detection logs for liability protection, enforcement, and repeat-offender tracking.
Pricing at a Glance
We believe agencies shouldn’t have to sacrifice capability for affordability. Our pricing is simple and transparent:
DroneTracker Kit (Handheld): $2,000 Includes antennas, battery pack, tablet, hard case, and magnetic mount
Detection hours: $300 for 240 hours (first 60 days free)
DroneTracker Scout (Fixed Site): $15,000 Includes long-range directional antennas for 10–15 miles of coverage
Annual subscription: $3,000/year (data & support)
Upcoming Opportunities
The Department mentioned upcoming operations in October—a perfect chance to deploy a 30-day free demo unit and see how the system performs under real-world conditions. Agencies planning events, search warrants, or SWAT deployments can use this opportunity to experience firsthand how the DroneTracker enhances situational awareness and protects officer safety.
We also provide guidance on grant opportunities that can help offset costs for public safety agencies adopting drone detection technology.
Final Thoughts
Law enforcement agencies are facing new airspace threats every year. At ADS, we’re committed to making drone detection more accessible, affordable, and future-ready. The DroneTracker Kit and DroneTracker Scout aren’t just products—they’re tools designed to give departments confidence, protection, and peace of mind.
