Dedrone is now officially part of Axon. The acquisition unites two companies with a shared mission to improve public safety and national security by staying ahead of persistent and escalating threats, enabling faster, more effective responses, and ultimately protecting more lives in more places.
Dedrone’s smart airspace security technology integrates with Axon’s public safety platform to enable true drone as first responder (DFR) programs and protect against unauthorized drone threats. Drones are dispatched immediately after an emergency call, providing real-time intelligence to help officers assess the scene before arriving.
With Axon DFR, Dedrone’s airspace awareness technology, DedroneBeyond, extends this capability, enabling drones to fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) without the need for human visual observers. This innovation allows drones to fly farther, faster, and operate in more challenging conditions and areas previously difficult to access, reducing response times and improving situational awareness.
Dedrone’s AI-powered airspace security systems are essential for safeguarding large-scale events, airports, critical infrastructure, and even military bases and defense operations from unauthorized drone activity. As drone usage rises, so does the risk of airspace incursions that could disrupt operations or pose serious safety risks.
With Dedrone, public safety and defense teams can detect, track, and, when necessary, neutralize rogue drones in real time, ensuring both public spaces and sensitive areas remain secure. Additionally, Dedrone’s battle-tested technology is actively serving governments and defense agencies worldwide, offering critical protection against evolving threats.
