AeroDefense will be working with the US Air Force to develop a ruggedized and rapid drone detection system that can be mounted on vehicles. AeroDefense is the first company to receive a Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act award which allows it to be used without legal authorization.
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst located in New Jersey has partnered with AeroDefense to build a drone detection system that works across the installation and pinpoints the drone pilot’s location. The system is also required to be mobile to allow for it to be placed on vehicles to use in various areas.
AeroDefense will receive the contract this month as a result of being selected in the Small Business Innovation Research program run by AFWERX, the Air Force Innovation team, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. US Air Force Master Sgt. Jason Falkner had the following to say on AeroDefense and the grant they received.
