Dedrone launches DroneTracker 2.0

24th March 2016 - 11:30 GMT | by Shephard News Team

Dedrone has launched DroneTracker 2.0, its next-generation UAV warning system designed to detect UAVs by their WLAN signals, the company announced on 21 March.

DroneTracker, which already uses cameras, sonic and ultrasonic sensors, has been updated with Wi-Fi sensors, to detect the signals that are either emitted when a drone is controlled with a smartphone or when an on-board camera is sending video signals to the pilot. The new sensor also reads the MAC- addresses of the emitting device, allowing users to identify both drone models and individual devices.

The new system also allows multiple DroneTrackers to be managed through a single user interface for wider coverage of airspace with fewer resources.

Once a drone enters the secured airspace an alert is triggered, allowing for immediate action by security teams. The drone’s position is shown in real time on a digital sitemap, and evidence videos can be automatically saved and forwarded to law enforcement.

Joerg Lamprecht, chief executive officer, Dedrone, said: ‘As drone sales reach an all-time high and the technology and sophistication behind drones is amplified, it is imperative that drone detection meets the rapid changes in the industry. DroneTracker 2.0 is the next wave in technology to meet that demand.

‘When a drone returns or is tracked to a different location, it is recognised as the identical device. This information is crucial in order to evaluate the threat potential and to trace the pilot.’
