DroneShield has integrated its Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data into its DroneSentry-C2 command-and-control platform, combining traditional aviation tracking with drone detection.
The integration provides operators with a real-time view of both crewed and uncrewed aircraft, helping them distinguish authorized flights from potential threats.
ADS-B supports air traffic surveillance and transmits information such as aircraft identity, location, and altitude.
DroneSentry-C2 uses the company’s SensorFusionAI engine to process data from multiple sources, including radio frequency, radar, and optical sensors.
“The need for integrated airspace awareness has been underscored in recent years, including high-profile incidents in the US where unclassified aerial objects near sensitive sites triggered widespread concern,” stated the company.
DroneShield added that the new integration aims to support public safety agencies, emergency services, and critical infrastructure operators.
It also emphasized its role in mixed-airspace missions such as disaster response, medical transport, or large-scale events.
DroneShield’s Recent Initiatives
The announcement follows DroneShield’s unveiling of the DroneSentry-C2 Enterprise (C2E) version platform, introduced earlier this month as part of the company’s quarterly update cycle.
The update allows the system to work with other command-and-control platforms used in joint operations.
Additionally, the C2E platform includes DroneShield’s ThreatAI software, which uses automated analytics to prioritize detected drone activity and support decision-making during operations.
The first order for the C2E platform has come from a European multi-site customer on NATO’s eastern flank, with deployment scheduled for early 2026.
