Airspace Management
Airspace Management Explained
At Team UAV, our Airspace Management Services play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and security of designated airspace. Utilising advanced technology and expert knowledge, we provide comprehensive solutions to detect, track, and mitigate potential threats posed by unauthorised drone activity.
Our services are tailored to safeguard critical infrastructure, events, and personnel from the risks associated with illicit drone incursions. By working closely with regulatory bodies and leveraging cutting-edge surveillance systems, Team UAV's Airspace Management Services offers proactive defence strategies to protect our clients' assets and operations.
Expertise in Airspace Management:
Team UAV has the equipment, methodology and experience to detect drones before they come anywhere near or into your area of operations and before they even take off. Not only do we detect the drone but we also detect the operator’s location, wherever they are, and where they have been. Giving you the steer you need to direct assets onto them or change your plans to immediately counter the threat. Our equipment is endorsed by the UK’s Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.
Mobile and Agile Deployment: Our capability can be mobile or static and we can move with your team, it can be used in extreme environments and on any terrain. It can be set up and ready to operate within minutes, or can work on a mobile basis such as from a moving vehicle. We deploy with an experienced operator that has the knowledge of telling you the specific threat from the type of drone that is identified, as well as being able to quickly deploy one of our drones to get eyes on the operator or steer friendly forces to intercept.
Expert Operators: Our experienced operators are capable of blending directly into your team and workflow. We also have larger systems that can be used to detect at longer ranges such as what may be required at airports, and national infrastructure sites and events where advanced warning of drones is required.
Airspace Management
Team UAV specialises in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, it’s in our name, it’s part of our company’s DNA. That’s not just operating drones, that’s knowing everything about them, their capabilities, the regulations surrounding them, how they are used, and in what capacity they are able to operate.
Advanced Detection Systems: Our operations in airspace management give you the ability to detect drones flying in your airspace, allowing you to quickly mitigate risks around your assets and operation. We give clear and concise information on the location of the drone and the pilot, as well as many other data points.
Addressing Drone Security Challenges: Unauthorised drones in your airspace are not only a safety hazard to your team, your assets or your principal, but they will breach all of your security protocols. Current global drone regulations are not sufficient to stop drones flying into your airspace, nor do you have many legal options to stop drones from flying over areas that you’re trying to protect. Modern civilian drones have a long flight time (usually 30 minutes plus) and come as standard with long-distance communication hardware that allows them to be controlled from up to 10km away.
Unveiling the Drone Challenge: Small, lightweight drones are very difficult to identify in the air, and they cannot be heard from 100 metres away, and the larger drones carry high-definition payloads and sensors with a 200x zoom. This mix of high-quality sensors, long lenses, long-range communication hardware, and almost invisible characteristics of the drone whilst in flight all contribute to your drone problem.
Drone problems that your operation is going to face: Drone operators will make use of public land such as bridleways, green lanes, and footpaths to take off from – you have no legal right to stop them from taking off from here, they can also fly over almost any building, land or asset even if it is not their property, and if you don’t know that they are there or that they have a drone then there is nothing that you can do about it until it is too late.
Drones can quickly get into secure areas undetected and capture video and images of situations and personnel that may put them in difficult situations. later on in the media.
Small Improvised explosive devices can be attached to drones and dropped from a height, causing injury and death to people
Drones can be flown into crowds, equipment and buildings to cause sabotage
Drones can be fitted with power tethers meaning they can be used as a persistent surveillance threat day or night with thermal cameras fitted
These are just some of the most common threats that drones cause. You must be prepared against them.
