Drone Detection As A Service (DdaaS)
Managed Drone Detection & Airspace Security for Critical Infrastructure, Stadiums & Government
Enterprise-grade drone detection, real-time monitoring, operator geolocation, and daily threat reporting — delivered as a fully managed subscription. No hardware to buy. No staff to train. No gaps in coverage.
- Zero capital outlay — subscription-based, operational expense only
- Fully managed — we deploy, monitor, report, and maintain
- Operationally proven — deployed at military installations, venues and critical infrastructure
Service vs. Hardware Purchase
Most organizations do not need to own a counter-drone system. They need airspace security — continuously monitored, expertly managed, and always current.
No Capital Expense
Detection hardware, software licences, integration, training, and ongoing maintenance represent a substantial capital commitment to deploy in-house. DDaaS converts that into a predictable monthly subscription with no upfront investment.
No Staffing Burden
Counter-UAS systems require trained operators, round-the-clock monitoring shifts, and ongoing calibration. With DDaaS, SAFE Perimeter's SOC handles detection, classification, geolocation, alerting, and reporting.
Always Current
New airframes and control protocols appear constantly. The managed service continuously updates detection signatures, firmware, and AI classification models, so your coverage does not fall behind the threat.
Drone Detection for Every Critical Environment
DDaaS scales from a single event to multi-site permanent deployments. If unauthorized drones threaten your operations, safety, or privacy, there is a service tier for you.
Stadiums & Events
Protect spectators, players, and VIPs from aerial observation, contraband drops, and unauthorized UAS during games, concerts, and large public gatherings.
Critical Infrastructure
Power generation, data centers, water treatment, and energy grids — detect drones conducting reconnaissance, carrying payloads, or probing perimeters.
Government & Defense
Installations, task force precincts, diplomatic premises, and secure federal facilities. Passive monitoring with zero RF footprint for sensitive environments.
Airports & Transportation
Reportable drone incursions near airports continue to rise. Detect, track, and geolocate unauthorized UAS before they affect passengers or operations.
Correctional Facilities
Drone delivery is among the fastest-growing contraband vectors in corrections. Detect inbound aircraft and geolocate the operator at the launch point.
Schools & Campuses
Protect students and staff from drone-based observation and disruption across K-12 districts and university campuses, permanently or for specific events.
Construction & Industrial
Prevent competitor reconnaissance, intellectual property loss through aerial photography, and safety hazards from unauthorized drones over active work sites.
Ports & Maritime
Detect drone observation of shipping operations, cargo, and port infrastructure, with continuous airspace monitoring across sprawling perimeters.
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
DDaaS is delivered on the SkyShield fixed dome — 7–14 km, 360° passive RF detection by LOCH Technologies.
- Hardware deployment and installation — SkyShield dome sensors installed, configured, and optimized for your site by our team.
- 24/7 SOC monitoring — real-time detection, classification, and alerting by SAFE Perimeter's security operations team.
- Operator geolocation — locate the pilot, not just the aircraft, through RF direction finding on the control link.
- Daily and event-based reporting — threat summaries, heat maps, flight path analysis, and investigation-ready case files.
- Continuous signature updates — new airframes added to the 500+ library automatically, with no downtime.
- GSOC, JOC and C2 integration — API-based connectivity into the security operations workflow you already run.
- Optional selective mitigation — for agencies holding authority under U.S. federal law.*

Drone Detection Service FAQ
The questions we hear most from security directors, government agencies, and facility operators evaluating managed drone detection.
How is DDaaS different from buying a drone detection system?
You get the same SkyShield technology, but we handle deployment, monitoring, maintenance, and reporting. You pay a subscription rather than a capital purchase, and you never need to hire or train counter-UAS operators.
What types of drones can SkyShield detect?
The library covers more than 500 airframes, including commercial off-the-shelf platforms, custom and DIY builds, tethered and stationary UAS, and coordinated swarms. The AI classification engine is updated continuously as new models appear.
Does it work for temporary events like games, festivals, or VIP details?
Yes. The Tactical tier includes mobile SkyShield units for rapid deployment at events, training camps, concerts, and temporary installations, operational in well under an hour.
Is the system truly passive? Will it interfere with our existing RF equipment?
SkyShield operates with zero RF emissions. It listens to the RF environment without transmitting, so it does not interfere with Wi-Fi, communications, aviation systems, or medical equipment — and it is invisible to the drones it detects.
Can you locate the drone operator, not just the drone?
Yes. Direction finding on the control link identifies and geolocates the operator in real time — which is what lets you dispatch security to the launch point or build a case for law enforcement.
What about mitigation? Can DDaaS disable a drone?
Selective mitigation is available as an add-on for agencies holding authority under U.S. federal law. Detection carries no equivalent restriction, which is why nearly every programme starts there. SkyWall integration allows targeted disruption of a specific aircraft rather than blanket interference.
