DroneShield has expanded the capabilities of its DroneSentry-C2 command-and-control platform by integrating Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) data, creating a unified airspace awareness system that tracks both crewed and uncrewed aircraft. This integration allows operators to differentiate between authorized aviation traffic and potential drone threats in real time.
The ADS-B system—a cornerstone of modern air traffic surveillance—transmits vital aircraft information such as identity, position, and altitude. When combined with DroneSentry-C2’s SensorFusionAI engine, the platform can process and correlate data from multiple sensors including radio frequency, radar, and optical sources, providing enhanced situational awareness and faster threat response capabilities.
This update follows the recent launch of DroneSentry-C2 Enterprise (C2E), introduced as part of DroneShield’s latest product cycle. The Enterprise edition supports interoperability with other command-and-control systems, enabling seamless integration in joint defense or security operations. It also incorporates ThreatAI, DroneShield’s proprietary analytics software, which automatically prioritizes drone threats and assists operators in real-time decision-making.
DroneShield has already received its first order for the C2E system from a European customer operating multiple sites along NATO’s eastern flank, with deployment expected in early 2026. The move reinforces DroneShield’s growing footprint in the European defense market and highlights its focus on AI-driven counter-drone technology for complex, multi-domain operations.
