D-Fend Solutions’ Post

As June comes to a close, we reflect on the various incidents involving drones that have occurred this month. From illegal activities to significant security threats, here's a rundown of how drones have made headlines in June this year: 🚁 June 2nd: Authorities intercepted a drone attempting to smuggle contraband into a high-security prison in the US. 🚁 June 6th: A drone was spotted flying dangerously close to an international airport, causing temporary disruptions in flight operations. 🚁 June 9th: Security forces in a Middle Eastern country detected and neutralized a drone carrying explosives near a government building. 🚁 June 15th: At a major outdoor music festival, several drones were seized by security personnel after being flown illegally over the crowd. 🚁 June 18th: A drone was used to illegally surveil a restricted military area, leading to an immediate response from defense forces. 🚁 June 24th: Firefighting operations were halted in a forest fire zone due to an unauthorized drone entering the airspace, posing a threat to aerial firefighting efforts. At RAPIDEFENCE, our mission is to ensure the safety and security of mass events, international borders, and first responders by providing adaptive counter-drone solutions. Together, we strive for a secure future empowered by drone technology.

That's why C-UAS Technology is a critical factor in addressing evolving drone spy threats in scenarios like the one mentioned by Oleg Vornik, where a drone was conducting reconnaissance before the attempted attack on former President Donald Trump. Let's remember that we are living in an era of significant technological revolution. Therefore, let's not leave any loose ends when it comes to security, especially considering the technological revolution we are experiencing today... 👍 https://lnkd.in/e5dXTWxW

The Secret Service's self-assessment highlights the critical need for effective counter-drone tools in law enforcement's tool kits. With policy delays and organizations stuck in the exploration phase, our public safety remains compromised. Enabling our law enforcement professionals to access usable counter-UAS and drone detection tools as well as adequate training is crucial in ensuring community safety and security. This recent incident underscores the urgency for implementing robust counter-drone solutions. "Hours before the July shooting, the would-be assassin was able to fly a drone in the rally area undetected because, according to congressional reports, a Secret Service operator could not get the agency’s counter-drone system operating and had so little training he had to call a tech support line to fix the issue. "Rowe has testified that if the counter-drone system were operating, they would have likely detected the drone and found the shooter hours before he shot Trump in the ear."

Results speak for themselves: - 2 x Hussar Drone Teams. - 1 x extreme terrain. - 8 months of operation: > 1683 surveillance hours flown. > 206 suspects detected. > 180 direct drone interventions to deter criminals. > 12 arrests in a terrain not condusive for the use of vehicles. There is a Hussar Drone Unit ready to positively impact your problem area.

Giving local and federal authorities the ability to defend against drones is absolutely critical and I'm glad Congress is acting. That being said most CounterUAS systems interfere with GPS. We need to be careful that what we do to defend against drones does not accidently impact safety critical systems in aviation, automotive, e911, as well as essential applications is agriculture, financial networks, communications networks, etc. When this hopefully moves forward we will need standards and certifications on the design, capability, and use of these systems.

The need to protect our domestic critical infrastructure is increasingly more complex - which is why airports must be empowered with explicit authority to deploy #CUAS measures for comprehensive protection against unmanned aerial threats.

Combatting Underwater Threats with NORBIT GuardPoint Intruder Detection System (IDS) NORBIT’s GuardPoint IDS is engineered to detect, identify, track, and classify multiple underwater threats, critical in preventing shipborne parasite drug smuggling. With the rise in underwater navigation and communication technologies, smugglers increasingly exploit large vessels—like bulk carriers and crude tankers—as “free rides” for covert drug containers. The long loading times and noise of these operations at remote facilities provide divers with cover to attach smuggling devices unnoticed. NORBIT’s advanced Intruder Detection Sonars (IDS), combined with specialised software, offer robust detection, tracking, and classification of enemy divers, submerged diver/swimmer delivery vehicles (DDVs/SDVs), and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). These systems provide essential tools for real-time threat detection and enhanced maritime security. #NORBIT #MaritimeSecurity #IntruderDetection #GuardPoint #UnderwaterSurveillance #GuardPoint #exploremore

Technical surveillance can be mounted using drones to gather intelligence of secure facilities. Does your organisation have a risk assessment to mitigate this? #tscm #drones #surveillance #privacy #security #safety #infosec #reconaissance https://lnkd.in/enD7rDq6

Police departments are increasingly encountering threats posed by drones, as these devices become more advanced, accessible, and versatile. The rapidly evolving nature of drone technology means that police forces must continually adapt and develop new strategies that utilise physical countermeasures to address these emerging threats. Unlike static technologies, the mobile deployment capability of Primetake's DB5 anti-drone makes it an ideal solution for law enforcement. Primetake’s latest DB5 12-gauge anti-drone cartridges is designed to quickly intercept unintended or intentional incursion of drones into restricted airspaces, immediately disabling the rotors using it’s Kevlar web to preserve the drone for forensic evidence, upon recovery, after reaching the ground. As a leading British manufacturer of specialist anti drone cartridges we are continuously developing new anti-drone solutions, working in close collaboration with our existing distribution partners across the globe. We’re actively looking to increase our footprint across the globe, through partnerships with distributors, resellers, and agents currently working with police forces and associated law enforcement agencies.

Size Don’t Matter When I first started working on this drone feature, I thought to myself, are we going to show another drone that’s just moving up and down, left and right. How different would this drone be compared to others? We went for a number of recce to understand how this drone actually works. Yes, we do have our own “study visits” because it’s important that we know what we are showing. Weighing approximately 350g, this drone sends an important message to us, “Size Don’t Matter”! Beyond size, what is important is its capabilities. This drone is impressive, manoeuvring at a considerable speed, making sharp turns and scanning and looking out for threat. The operators are equally competent too, they operated the drone as if they know it inside out.
