DroneShield has merged ADS-B aviation tracking with its DroneSentry-C2 counter-drone platform, providing a single, comprehensive command-and-control system that monitors both manned and unmanned aircraft. The integration delivers a real-time operational picture, enabling security teams to identify legitimate air traffic while detecting and mitigating unauthorized drone activity.
The integration leverages ADS-B technology, which broadcasts an aircraft’s identification, coordinates, and altitude to air traffic systems. Coupled with DroneShield’s SensorFusionAI engine, DroneSentry-C2 can analyze multi-source inputs from RF sensors, radar units, and optical cameras to distinguish between normal flight activity and potential airborne threats.
Earlier this month, the company unveiled its DroneSentry-C2 Enterprise (C2E) version, a more advanced and interoperable system built to work alongside other C2 platforms in networked defense operations. The upgraded software suite includes ThreatAI, which uses artificial intelligence to automatically rank and prioritize detected drone incidents, streamlining operator workload and improving mission response efficiency.
According to DroneShield, its first C2E platform order has been secured from a European defense organization operating across NATO’s eastern frontier, with system rollout scheduled for early 2026. The integration of ADS-B and AI-driven analytics further cements DroneShield’s position as a leading provider of multi-domain airspace security solutions for both civil and military applications.
