Crossing a line - malicious drones used across borders
A new threat is pressuring governments worldwide as drones are increasingly being used across borders in different scenarios:
- Smuggle drugs and weapons
- For reconnaissance and tracking of border security personnel and facilities
- To facilitate illegal border crossings
- Explosive attacks against law enforcement and border personnel
- And more…
Border security agencies face significant difficulties in addressing these challenges, partly due to the fact that borders are typically long and can be demarcated by natural features such as mountains or shorelines, as well as densely inhabited urban regions.
Border patrols - the Integrated Protocol Intervention advantage
Sentrycs Integrated counter-drone solution is extremely well suited for protecting the sky above borders as:
- It can differentiate between authorized drones used to patrol along the border and unauthorized drones
- It is entirely autonomous and does not require 24/7 supervision
- It doesn’t require line of sight
- Its multi-sensor configuration managed by one management system, enables a broad area of coverage at a lower cost of ownership
Frequently Asked Questions
Each sensor in the Sentrycs solution covers a detection range as well as a mitigation range. In order to protect the entire border, multiple sensors will need to be deployed.
No. Sentrycs solutions do not require line of sight and do not rely on electro-optical technologies. It detects the communication signal between a drone and its remote control, hence day light does not make any difference in the system’s performance.
