German security company hensec secure solutions has added two German technology partners to its civil airspace monitoring system: Sonidio from Konstanz, which makes acoustic sensors, and Sentinex Robotics from Lübeck, which makes AI-based cameras.
The combination is meant for low-cost monitoring of the airspace close to critical infrastructure, within about one kilometre of each site. The hensec system already combines radio detection, passive radar and radio telemetry in one air picture and will now add acoustic and optical data.
Managing director Kevin Heneka said no single technology detects drones well in all conditions, which is why the company combines different sensors.
