After watching Viseum's optical and thermal cameras automatically monitoring at extreme long range, this expert specializing in security for mass populations offered to leave his military post and join Viseum.

Counter Drone System from Viseum

Viseum AiRadar is a counter drone system that finds, fixes and follows every drone and its pilot around a protected site, by day and by night. It protects government facilities, airports, prisons, energy sites and major events; for military bases, see Military Drone Defence. “Military-grade security with outstanding performance.” (Senior Officer RAF).

Counter drone: find, fix, follow and defeat

Several units locate a drone and its pilot together. Radar alone never locates by triangulation, and the law decides who may take action.

Metropolitan Police officer's report on Viseum cameras (PDF)

This anti-drone system, also called counter-UAS, joins three sensors into one picture. A 3D dual radar has a typical range of 25 km (confirmed by site survey). Radio receivers hear each drone and its controller, and thermal cameras show what each drone is. It sees through smoke, dust, cloud and fog, and it locates the pilot, so police or the military can act under lawful authority. Designed by Viseum. Made in Great Britain under licence. Installed by certified partners.

Technology War

Developing counter-drone systems is a constant, ongoing high-tech war. Each drone or UAV system uses different tactics and strategies depending on many types of drone technology. Distances, terrain, weather, operational timescales, the assets being protected and many other variables also differ. Viseum Red Teaming takes all of this into account to anticipate each possible attack, so that the Viseum Blue Team can develop the best protection.

Viseum AiRadar – Anti-Drone Counter Drone Dual Radar

The most successful counter-drone system has multiple anti-drone radars using 3D precision radar modelling and artificial intelligence. This counter-drone system provides the highest technical advantage for defending against attacks from insurgents using drones for their reconnaissance. Equally, this counter-drone system helps prevent attacks from land, air and sea at the same time. It detects drones and drone operators through smoke, dust, clouds and fog, providing the GPS coordinates of the drone and its operator.

All other radar systems detect aerial targets at 20° of vertical coverage. These cannot monitor air, ground and sea targets at the same time. Viseum AiRadar gives 40° or 120° vertical coverage. This detects ground, sea and aerial targets simultaneously. Viseum AiRadar is a true solid-state radar with no moving parts. It is more reliable than standard antenna radars that rely on moving parts.

Drone operator location detection

Overlapping multiple radars will also detect drone operator locations with greater accuracy. A typical deployment places 3 Viseum AiRadar systems 25 km apart in a triangle, covering an area of around 4,000 km², with the central 1,400 km² watched by at least two radars at once for continuous tracking. When the alarm is raised from a remote location, Viseum AiRadars are rapidly deployed on vehicles to protect many hundreds of remote sites from attack from land, air and sea.

Multiple drone attack

Multiple drone targets are handled well using the Counter Drone System’s artificial intelligence and its 3D precision radar modelling. This means it can detect, track and identify several drones at the same time, so the authorised response can be directed at each one.

Viseum Drone Combat System

Insurgent combat radar

The Viseum AiRadar counter drone system is the greatest technical advantage against insurgent attack and multiple drone combat. The Viseum 3D dual radar counter drone system detects at a range of typically 25 km, confirmed by site survey. This means it can detect and counter multiple drone attacks at the same time.

This optimises operational time to counter the threat from hostile drones. Viseum’s anti-drone system’s AI and 3D modelling are also used to identify the difference between birds and drones.

Counter Drone System – Training and Support

Counter Drone Systems table of models

Insurgents change their strategies and innovate. Viseum’s strength is remaining ahead of insurgents by innovating better with the customer. We provide dedicated engineers for ongoing counter drone systems design, using our high-tech anti-drone radar team and highly expert innovators. This counter-drone system’s training and support services are growing an extensive database of drone types and models. This includes anti-drone radar strategies, techniques and tactics. Viseum exports in line with UK export control and sanctions law and applies for an export licence wherever one is required.

Facial Recognition Drone

Viseum’s outdoor Video Analytics Software has a clear lead in face recognition software. It is the only face recognition software to detect faces at distance from a 360 camera that follows each person automatically. Viseum leads all competition in drone face recognition.

Anti drone detection questions

How does anti drone detection work?

Viseum AiRadar detects the drone, thermal and optical cameras confirm it, and the system follows it and locates the pilot, so the response team acts on one confirmed picture.

Who uses it?

Airports, prisons, critical infrastructure, events and military sites.

Why Viseum?

One Viseum camera does the work of 6 constantly manned cameras, a Metropolitan Police surveillance officer reported.
