Overview

Protect the airspace above what matters most

Our AI-powered counter-UAS solutions deliver intelligent drone detection, identification, tracking, localisation and mitigation in a single centralised command and control environment. Engineered for government facilities, airports, industrial sites, energy facilities, transportation infrastructure and public-safety operations, every deployment is sized to the threat profile of the site and integrates cleanly with existing security operations.

  • AI-powered drone detection and early warning
  • Real-time identification and threat classification
  • Continuous UAV tracking and high-accuracy positioning
  • Remote-pilot localisation and intent assessment
  • Precision mitigation with operator-in-the-loop controls
  • Centralised command, control and multi-site federation

Hardware Portfolio

Engineered devices, delivered as one catalogue

Every device in this category is specified, integrated and supported by the same engineering team — not a marketplace of loosely-coupled vendors.

70 MHz–6 GHz
Passive RF Drone Detection

Wide-band, receive-only RF arrays detect, classify and geolocate UAVs and their remote pilots without emitting energy.

Multi-Sensor Surveillance Platform

Fused radar, RF, EO/IR and acoustic sensing under a single airspace-picture engine.

<10 min setup
Portable Counter-UAS Equipment

Backpack and case-based kits for rapid deployment by security and public-safety teams.

Vehicle-Mounted Anti-Drone Systems

Roof-mounted detection, tracking and mitigation packages for mobile protection details and event security.

Perimeter & Wide-Area Monitoring

Fixed sensor towers with overlapping coverage for sites, corridors and city-scale deployments.

Airspace Security Management Software

Centralised C2 platform with real-time tracks, alerting, evidentiary recording and multi-site federation.

Capabilities

Built for the workloads your operators actually run

Real-time drone detection

AI-driven RF, radar and acoustic detection identifies unauthorised UAVs the instant they enter the protected envelope.

UAV tracking & positioning

Multi-sensor fusion delivers precise location, altitude, heading and velocity for every track on the airspace picture.

Remote pilot localisation

RF direction-finding pinpoints the operator's position so security teams can intervene at the source of the threat.

Threat classification

AI models distinguish hobbyist UAVs from purpose-built threats and suppress benign signals like birds, weather and traffic.

Autonomous monitoring

Always-on detection, alerting and slew-to-cue camera handoff run without continuous operator intervention.

Precision mitigation

Operator-authorised, policy-driven mitigation engages with measured force scaled to the threat and the operating environment.

Multi-site centralised management

Federate dozens of sites under one airspace picture; route alerts to the operators and stakeholders responsible for each zone.

24/7 situational awareness

Continuous monitoring through darkness, weather and high-clutter environments — with audit-grade recording and replay.

Software & Platform

Every airspace track, RF emitter and operator location is fused inside Gilead Command alongside cameras, access events and ground sensors.

Advantages

Why operators choose this stack

AI-powered threat analysis

Trained models classify UAV intent, suppress false alarms and surface the small set of tracks that warrant operator attention.

Passive, low-interference detection

Receive-only RF and passive sensing — no transmissions that interfere with site operations or neighbouring spectrum users.

High-accuracy positioning

Multi-sensor track fusion delivers precise UAV location, altitude and heading — plus remote-pilot geolocation where RF protocols permit.

Scalable modular architecture

Add sensors, sites and operator seats incrementally as the protection envelope and threat picture evolve.

Autonomous operation

Detection, tracking and slew-to-cue camera handoff run continuously without dedicated operator attention.

Rapid deployment

Portable, fixed and vehicle-mounted form factors integrate with existing security operations in days, not months.

Reliable system performance

Engineered for 24/7 outdoor duty cycles with redundant power, weather-sealed enclosures and remote health monitoring.

Flexible integration capability

Open APIs and standards-based protocols connect cleanly to existing VMS, access control, SCADA and command platforms.

Integrations

Speaks the protocols your stack already speaks

Open standards by default, with vendor-specific adapters where they shorten the path to value. We don't hold your stack hostage.
