Astrion and Pierce Aerospace have formed a partnership to offer drone identification and counter-drone capabilities to government, public safety and commercial customers.
It combines Pierce Aerospace's Remote ID technology with Astrion's mission engineering, systems integration, testing and deployment services, to help agencies feed drone identification data into their wider picture of the airspace. Pierce Aerospace is already on Astrion's team for a Track 2 award Astrion won recently under the Department of Homeland Security's $1.5 billion counter-drone contract vehicle.
