Objective

Our solution provides a new method for locating unauthorized drones near airports and critical infrastructure by analyzing their video feed.The system compares the video frames to a pre-built 3D digital twin of the protected area, matching visual features to determine the drone’s position without relying on GPS or radio signals. This enables faster incident response, improved airspace safety, and stronger protection of sensitive sites from unwanted drone activity.
