ZeroEyes, a security technology company, is using its tech to enhance detection techniques for drones piloted by malicious or careless actors.
Through its subsidiary, ZeroEyes Government Solutions, the company is developing technology to find and identify drones presenting a security risk.
ZeroEyes is leveraging its gun detection AI technology, which it has implemented for law enforcement agencies, to develop drone detection technology.
The company plans to roll out its drone detection technology first to defense industry customers and later to civilian law enforcement agencies and security-minded users.
Different methods can be used to detect drones, such as visible detections and a radar signature to scan the sky and automatically detect a drone anomaly.
Once the drone is detected, ZeroEyes can apply its visual analytics to get a picture of it and send it to the customer, whether a government agency or a civilian entity.
In addition, ZeroEyes plans to use drones as aerial platforms for its gun detection technology, which would provide a higher altitude vantage point to detect firearms across a wider area.
Local police departments and sheriff’s offices that have established UAV programs are looking for ways to employ their drone assets, and ZeroEyes can enhance their capabilities to support end-users.
