AirWarden® Essentials, Starting at Just $415/month, Changes the Game in Commercial Grade Drone Detection

 

  • Leaders in public safety, education, and corporate security must extend their perimeter vertically to manage common incidents including: Disruptions at stadiums, intrusions at critical infrastructure like power plants or chemical manufacturers, near misses at airports, flyovers of schools and large public gatherings, and contraband drops in prisons. 
  • By the time a drone is seen it may have already caused a problem. AirWarden Essentials provides as many as 20 square miles of coverage, providing true early detection, giving you warning notifications from outside your perimeter or for closer in as you learn what matters in your situation.
  • AeroDefense’s AirWarden detects and locates both drones and their pilots in real time, sending custom alerts to your security team wherever they are—so every aerial intrusion can be quickly investigated.

Critical Infrastructure: Guard Your People and Assets from Above

Critical infrastructure sites like power stations, chemical plants, oil and gas refineries, pipelines, and telecom hubs face a growing risk of drone intrusions.
AirWarden strengthens perimeter protection by extending it vertically. It detects drones before they reach sensitive areas, covers up to 20 square miles, and locates pilots so your team or local law enforcement can respond quickly and appropriately.

Proven Protection for the Environments That Matter

While not all drones are bad, if you lack airspace awareness, you don’t know when or where intrusions happen. If you can’t get to the pilot, you can’t determine their intent and safely land the drone. If your current perimeter security doesn’t address the sky, you have a vulnerability. AirWarden Essentials delivers low-cost detection in high-stakes environments:

check

At stadiums and festivals – Avoid game-day disruptions and panicked evacuations.

check

On school campuses – Protect student privacy and prevent harassment or flyovers.

check

Across critical infrastructure – Prevent IP theft or worse from drone surveillance.

check

During emergencies – Maintain safe airspace for medical helicopters and responder aircraft.

check

In correctional facilities – Stop airborne contraband before it hits the yard and deter other contraband pilots.
