About AeroDefense

Our commitment to innovation and security.

AeroDefense’s Mission and Approach

Founded in 2015, AeroDefense is a U.S.-based drone detection company focused on giving organizations greater visibility and confidence in their airspace. We support critical infrastructure, public safety, corrections, stadiums, and defense organizations nationwide.
Our Mission
AeroDefense is on a mission to give organizations the tools to understand and manage drone activity in their airspace. Not all drones are a threat, and we aren't here to create fear. Our goal is to give security teams the visibility they need to distinguish routine activity from potential risks and make informed decisions.
What We Do
Our AirWarden® solutions detect, track, and locate drones and pilots, with options ranging from Remote ID monitoring to RF spectrum sensing and direction finding. Built with privacy in mind, our systems provide real-time and historical airspace awareness without intercepting signal content.
OUR FOCUS

Purpose-Built Airspace Security

Drone detection is 100% of our focus and the foundation of what we do. We engineer, build, and support our hardware and software solutions directly from our headquarters in Oceanport, New Jersey.
Our AirWarden drone detection systems combine intuitive software with high-accuracy detection to safeguard complex environments, from critical infrastructure, correctional facilities, and data centers to high-density municipal events and major sports venues.
Proven in demanding environments nationwide, our technology has supported airspace security in New York’s Times Square, dense urban areas, and MetLife Stadium, where it has been deployed since 2018.

Patented Technology & DHS Recognition

Patented Intellectual Property

Backed by five U.S. patents and one Canadian patent, our engineering team continuously advances proprietary drone detection and signal processing technology to keep our customers ahead of evolving airspace risks.

DHS SAFETY Act Awardee

AeroDefense was the first drone detection provider to earn DHS SAFETY Act recognition, receiving Developmental Testing and Evaluation (DT&E) Designation in 2019, followed by full Designation status in 2024.

U.S. Air Force Defense Innovation

AeroDefense earned three U.S. Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts to advance dual-use drone detection technologies.

Founder’s Story

"After years in internet security, I initially thought we could approach drones like flying computers, applying the same lessons and techniques I used to protect digital networks. That led to our earliest work, but it quickly became clear that actively intercepting or taking control of drones created significant operational and safety risks.
That moment was a turning point. Rather than pursuing active mitigation tactics, we pivoted toward a responsible path: passive, privacy-conscious detection and awareness.
We set out to provide real-time visibility using passive RF detection without disrupting local communications or compromising sensitive data privacy. What began as an effort to solve a complex problem has grown into a nationwide mission to deliver total airspace confidence.”
