Turn Drone Activity Into Actionable Insights

01

Monitor Multiple Locations From One Screen

Connect your network of AirWarden Receivers or Spectrum Sensors for a single, unified view of drone activity across all your locations. From one screen, operators can instantly zoom into specific alert zones, track real-time drone and pilot coordinates, and follow live flight trajectories, giving your team complete situational awareness across multiple facilities without fragmented data.
02

Review Past Incidents

Review historical flight paths and recurring drone activity to identify potential risks before they escalate. AirWarden Essentials generates exportable, law enforcement-ready investigation reports with complete telemetry for handoffs. High-level trend charts also make it easy to report threat metrics to executive leadership or compile verified historical flight data to support your FAA UAFR application.
03

Understand Activity Trends With Built-In Dashboards

AirWarden Essentials automatically summarizes total flights, activity by drone ID and alert zone, and flight counts by hour. Dashboards also highlight the top 10 drones detected across the most distinct alert zones—helping your team spot repeat activity, recognize patterns across monitored areas, and identify drones that warrant closer attention.
04

Pre-Approve Known Drones With My Fleet

My Fleet lets you register known internal, contracted, and friendly drones in advance or directly from the live map. When recognized aircraft enter your airspace, operators can customize notification preferences, including muting routine alerts, while maintaining full, continuous flight visibility. This helps teams distinguish approved drone activity without losing awareness of what’s happening in their airspace.
05

Track Repeat Flights With Watchlists

Watchlist Management lets teams flag drones of interest, add operational context, and attach response protocols. When a flagged drone re-enters your airspace, operators receive priority visual indicators on screen, while automated text and email alerts clearly identify the aircraft as a watchlist match, helping your team recognize repeat activity and respond quickly with the right information.

AirWarden Integration Capabilities

AirWarden Essentials' open-platform architecture integrates seamlessly with UTM networks, radar systems, security cameras, and GIS systems via APIs allowing you to unify your airspace defense within your existing security ecosystem.

UTM

When integrated with UTM systems, AirWarden enables continuous monitoring and management of both cooperative and non-cooperative drones, providing comprehensive airspace visibility.

The system feeds real-time drone data into UTM networks, to ensure enhanced coordination between air traffic and drone operators.

Camera

Camera systems can be integrated with AirWarden to start recording automatically when a drone is detected, giving you a visual layer to complement the drone detector features.

This enables operators to quickly verify drone activity, improve situational awareness, and support post-incident investigations.

GIS

When integrated with GIS platforms, AirWarden adds real-time and historical drone activity to the maps and operational views your team already uses.

This helps organizations visualize drone locations, flight paths, pilot locations, and alert zones alongside other geographic data for more complete situational awareness.

Radar

AirWarden's compatibility with radar systems allows it to detect drones that may not emit electronic signatures, improving detection range and accuracy.

By merging radar data with AirWarden's proprietary RF-based detection capabilities, users achieve a robust solution for detecting even stealth or low-profile drones.
