FORTEM TECHNOLOGIES + ARCFIELD
Counter- UAS Solutions
Arcfield has entered a partnership with Fortem Technologies to offer Counter-UAS (uncrewed aircraft systems) technology for the military and commercial markets.
Based in Pleasant Grove, Utah, Fortem Technologies, is the leader in airspace awareness, security, and defense for detecting and defeating non-friendly drones. Through an advanced, end-to-end system of distributed radar, AI at the Edge, deep sensor integration, and autonomous drone capture, Fortem monitors and defends the world’s public venues, infrastructures, cities, and any areas of interest. The same system is accelerating the safety of the world’s airspace for urban air mobility.
Uncrewed Aircraft Systems
The collaboration between Arcfield and Fortem Technologies aims to offer comprehensive solutions to address the challenges posed by drones for defense and security. These solutions encompass a wide range of applications, such as safeguarding critical infrastructure, securing perimeters, and mitigating drone threats for law enforcement agencies, penitentiaries, airports, and public venues.
Our partnership provides cutting-edge technologies and expertise to effectively counter the risks associated with uncrewed aircraft systems. By leveraging our combined strengths, we are committed to delivering robust solutions that ensure the protection and integrity of vital infrastructure assets.
Counter-UAS Solutions can be implemented for the following markets:
Law Enforcement
Defence
Prisons
Airports
Energy
Public Venues
Illegal Drone Activity
The utilization of drones for monitoring and exposing the presence of law enforcement personnel during civil unrest has become increasingly prevalent. These unmanned aerial vehicles provide an advantageous vantage point, enabling individuals to gather crucial information about police activities. This emerging trend poses significant challenges for both police forces and SWAT teams, making it more difficult for law enforcement to effectively carry out their duties and ensure public safety. it is imperative for law enforcement agencies to adapt and develop countermeasures to mitigate the impact of drone surveillance. This may involve the implementation of advanced detection systems capable of identifying and neutralizing unauthorized drones.
Other targets for criminal activity include prisons, where drones are used to drop off contraband, or soft target events such as outdoor concerts, sporting events, or rallies where large crowds are exposed to aerial threats. With simple modifications off-the-shelf drones can be made into extremely dangerous weapons that can also fly undetected by most security systems.
An effective counter drone system must be a flexible and portable force multiplier that can mitigate without causing collateral damage to civilians, property, or infrastructure. It must be able to detect all objects in the sky, including aircraft that are not broadcasting radio frequency signals (RF) without interrupting other operations. The Arcfield and Fortem SkyDome System with TrueView AI-enabled radar technology provides a countermeasure solution to mitigate these threats.
Monitoring and Securing Prison Airspace
Correctional facilities and prisons require ground and airspace perimeter security solutions to effectively prevent unauthorized access. The emergence of drones as an affordable and easily operable method for individuals to bypass traditional security measures poses a novel threat to the security of prisons.
Increased attack by drone operators delivering money, contraband, guns, and other illicit items over prison walls, are affecting prisons around the world. Additional challenges faced by correctional facilities is the use of drones with camera to survey escape routes for prison inmates. Prisons must adapt their security protocols to counter these emerging threats.
The need to prioritize the implementation of comprehensive drone detection and monitoring systems is imminent. A system that can employ advanced technologies capable of swiftly identifying and tracking unauthorized drones within the facility's airspace. By promptly detecting these aerial intrusions, prisons can take immediate action to neutralize the threat and prevent the delivery of dangerous items.
These security measures encompass the detection, monitoring, and protection against drones and other UAS that have the potential to transport hazardous items into correctional facilities. As some drone operators can easily stay hidden and out of reach from prison officials, the use of precision tracking to find where the drones take off from and where the operator is located, makes searching for contraband easier. The TrueView™ radar can alert prison security of approaching UAV activity, allowing security personnel to take appropriate mitigation or remediation action as needed.
Proactively countering the threat posed by rogue drones, prisons can significantly enhance their security posture and mitigate potential risks.
