Airspace Systems

Airspace Systems is a company that provides advanced drone detection and mitigation solutions. Their foundational patented technology enables the detection, classification, and response to unauthorized drones, ensuring unmatched visibility and control over the airspace. Airspace Systems' core offering involves a ground-based system that identifies rogue drones and launches its own high-speed drones equipped with kinetic capture capabilities. These drones can chase down and capture the target drones by firing a tethered net, effectively neutralizing the threat.

In June 2020, the company released new software that leverages video analytics to monitor social distancing and face mask compliance during the Covid-19 pandemic. This software solution analyzes drone-captured video streams to identify crowding and mask-wearing violations, providing text-based alerts to law enforcement without individual tracking or facial recognition.

Airspace Systems has also made strides in developing autonomous drone flight capabilities, with over two-thirds of its employees working on technologies like machine vision, onboard radar, and lidar to enable autonomous tracking and capture missions in various environments. As of March 2018, the company had raised USD 25 million in funding to scale its operations.
