Drone Detections

Drone Detection and Management

Three and one half million. This is the number of drones in the United States as estimated by the Federal Aviation Administration by the year 2021. This number tripling the current recreational population estimate of 1.1 Million, also projected by the FAA. For a sense of the sheer magnitude that is this population, compare it to some of the well-known raptors found across North America. At 2.3 Million estimated individuals, Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) are the most numerous on our list, with Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) and Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) making up the rest of our tally with 500,000, 300,000 and 250,000 estimated individuals respectively. Adding up these estimates into a combined total gives us 3.35 Million estimated raptors. A full 200,000 individuals shy of the FAAs drone estimate. Of course, not all of those drones will be in the air at the same time, but we can probably assume at least 15% of them can be airborne at some point during an average day. That means that currently, an estimated 165,000 drones could be airborne at some point on the day you are reading this article.

What does a significant increase in drone use mean for your facility? Increase presence around airports, invasions of privacy, security risks, the list goes on and on. In today’s ultra modern, highspeed atmosphere, the ability to adequately secure an area is more difficult than ever, and one common breach of security is through the use of drones. Now, the word Security may evoke thoughts of people in uniform physically securing an event, such as a sporting match or VIP event in a city center, but it can also mean a private residence, where an average homeowner may want to make sure that no one is spying on them and theirs by unscrupulous folks down the street. Whatever the case may be, the ability to unequivocally know that any area of interest is secure is a necessary evil in todays world.

Using the latest drone detection techniques and technology, Loomacres will set up monitoring both at your location and within five miles; which may include scenic lakes, college campuses, famous buildings or structures, sporting events, concerts, VIP security etc.,
