Criminal usage of drones - a new challenge for law enforcement agencies
Law Enforcement Agencies are facing an increasing threat as drones are being used by criminals to:
- Smuggle contraband
- Monitor law enforcement organizations
- Gather intelligence about bureaus and agencies
- Aim at senior law enforcement personnel
- Smuggle contraband
- Monitor law enforcement organizations
- Gather intelligence about bureaus and agencies
- Aim at senior law enforcement personnel
- Smuggle contraband
- Monitor law enforcement organizations
- Gather intelligence about bureaus and agencies
- Aim at senior law enforcement personnel
- Smuggle contraband
- Monitor law enforcement organizations
- Gather intelligence about bureaus and agencies
- Aim at senior law enforcement personnel
To add to the complexity, law enforcement agencies have their own drones, which they use in various applications, such as pre-tactical deployment reconnaissance, patrol-led deployments, and many more.
Ensuring public safety with counter drones
Counter-drone systems need to be able to differentiate between law-enforcement-authorized drones and unauthorized drones. This requirement alone rules out all of the traditional counter-drone technologies, as none of them allows for drone user-level identification; and this is only one of their limitations.
Sentrycs Integrated Protocole Intervention solution enables law enforcement agencies to ensure airspace safety with its counter-drone solutions. It autonomously detects, tracks, and identifies multiple drones approaching a given perimeter (as well as their remote-control locations); determines if they are authorized or unauthorized drones, takes over these drones when required – while disconnecting the operators – and lands them safely in a predefined area.
Addressing the Drone Threat with a Focus on Law Enforcement
Sentrycs Integrated counter-drone solutions are being used by law enforcement agencies as they present a long list of benefits that meet their specific operational needs:
- They have flexible configurations: portable and or vehicle-mounted
- They can differentiate between authorized and unauthorized drones
- They can identify drones’ remote IDs even when not broadcasted
- They do not interfere with any kind of communications or GNSS
- They are entirely autonomous, hence can be operated by anyone and do not require an expert and months of training
They allow for remote operation and centralized management, separating DIT from an often more limited set of authorized mitigation personnel
Frequently Asked Questions
Firstly, we focus on the most frequently used drones that covers about 90% of those in use. We have a tremendous team of protocol analytics experts constantly researching and adding protocols. Moreover, most of our innovation is geared towards reducing time-to-market: we use AI-based tools and processes that are significantly shortening the time to support new protocols.
Unlike most counter-drone solution vendors, which require that each sensor is coupled with one control system, Sentrycs's solution permits multiple sensors for each control system with individual sensors costing less. This reduces the total cost of ownership, in addition to the very short setup and training time.
Sentrycs can be set up and operational in under 20 minutes... Also, could have a vehicle-mounted system already operational and would be running as soon as it arrives at the site.
