AirSight, a leader in airspace security, is highlighting its Mobile Drone Detection Unit, a fully integrated, solar-powered system engineered for rapid deployment in environments where organizations need fast, reliable, and flexible drone awareness. Built on a rugged, mobile trailer platform, the unit is designed to help security teams protect critical infrastructure, large-scale events, and other sensitive locations with a solution that is easy to transport, quick to set up, and ready to operate in demanding field conditions. The trailer’s single-axle design, 18-foot manual mast, and 60 MPH wind rating support stable operation in real-world outdoor environments.
Designed for organizations that need mobile, rapidly deployable airspace security, the Mobile Drone Detection Unit combines mobility with comprehensive detection capabilities. Its compact, towable trailer can be deployed by most vehicles, simplifying logistics and reducing the need for specialized transport while enabling teams to respond quickly to emerging threats, planned events, and temporary security requirements. The rugged platform supports multi-site and rotating deployments, giving operators a durable outdoor solution that can be repositioned as mission needs change.
With real-time 360-degree tracking of drones and pilots at distances of up to 8 kilometers, or 5 miles, the system gives security personnel broad situational awareness before a drone reaches sensitive airspace. By tracking both the aircraft and its operator, the system gives teams more actionable intelligence for investigation, escalation, and response. The unit instantly identifies more than 850 commercial and industrial drone models, helping operators better understand what is flying in their airspace and make more informed, risk-based security decisions.
The Mobile Drone Detection Unit uses a 730W solar array and a 400Ah battery bank for independent operation, generating and storing power for continuous, off-grid use through changing site conditions. Its three fixed-angle 395 W solar panels and six 150A gel batteries are paired with a 24V/120V inverter and integrated charger to deliver reliable DC 24V power for connected systems. That autonomous power design reduces reliance on external utilities and makes the system well suited for remote facilities, temporary venues, and other locations where grid access may be limited or unavailable. Its weather-resistant construction further supports dependable performance in challenging environments, helping organizations maintain coverage year-round. The unit is rated for operating temperatures from -30 to 60°C (-22 to 140°F), supporting mission readiness in both extreme heat and cold.
The platform is designed to scale with customer requirements over time. AirSight offers upgrade paths such as Directional Finding sensors for extended range, allowing organizations to expand coverage and increase operational precision as threat profiles evolve. In addition, compatibility with security cameras and optional deterrence technologies such as strobes, sirens, speakers, and license plate recognition software supports a more layered approach to site security, combining drone detection with visual verification, alerts, and response tools from a single mobile platform. Together, these capabilities make AirSight’s Mobile Drone Detection Unit a flexible, off-grid solution for airspace security, engineered for critical operational demands.
