How ADS DroneTracker Kit is Solving Real-World Law Enforcement Challenges

At Aerial Defense Systems (ADS), our mission is clear: equip agencies with the tools they need to remain safe, efficient, and prepared as drone activity increases. Recently, we had the opportunity to meet with a police department, which shared valuable insights on the challenges they face. These concerns reflect the experiences of many agencies across the country and underscore the importance of the ADS DroneTracker Kit and DroneTracker Scout.

Common Challenges Law Enforcement Faces

During our discussion, the Department UAV Tech Sergeant highlighted several recurring pain points:

• Budget Concerns: Current platforms like DroneSense come with costly subscriptions that drain budgets.

• Lack of Airspace Visibility: Agencies often see only their own drones, leaving them unaware of unknown aircraft.

• Situational Awareness Gaps: Patrols, SWAT operations, and multi-agency events expose critical blind spots.

• Officer Safety & Liability: Distinguishing between friendly drones and potential threats is vital for safety and legal protection.

• Future-Proofing: With rising drone misuse and busier skies, agencies need scalable solutions.

  
  

These issues are widespread. Addressing them requires a balance of cost-effectiveness, reliability, and adaptability.

How ADS DroneTracker Provides the Solution

We designed our systems with these challenges in mind. Here’s how our solutions tackle them directly:

• Cost-Effective Deployment: No bloated subscription fees; pricing scales 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 operations 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 tracking repeat offenders.
