Protecting your airspace from rogue drones no longer has to break the bank. AeroDefense, a drone and pilot detection technology provider, just rolled out AirWarden Essentials, a powerful wide-area monitoring solution priced at under $5,000.
Designed to offer comprehensive airspace monitoring at an affordable price, this wide-area detection solution promises smarter drone traffic tracking for security-conscious organizations.
The standout feature? AirWarden Essentials uses networked drone Remote ID broadcasts to monitor drones across both local and regional areas. The system includes a compact AirWarden Receiver that quickly mounts to buildings or poles, connecting automatically to a cloud-based Command Console via LTE or Ethernet. With a simple 10-minute setup and no ongoing maintenance required, it’s all about convenience.
Once installed, AirWarden Essentials keeps users in the loop with instant texts, emails, and on-screen alerts whenever a drone enters their designated zone. Not only can it pinpoint the drone’s location, but it also tracks where the pilot is operating from — giving users full situational awareness.
But it doesn’t stop there. The system’s History View feature logs drone flight paths and behaviors, helping organizations spot patterns and enhance their security strategies. A handy search tool makes it easy to pull up past incidents using details like drone IDs or event IDs for deeper analysis.
Built on AeroDefense’s Collaborative Drone Detection Network (CoDDN)—developed with support from the US Department of Defense — the solution lets multiple agencies work together seamlessly when responding to drone-related threats.
Craig Wilmoth, emergency management coordinator at the University of Mississippi, praised the system after deploying it on campus:
We wanted a reliable, easy to operate drone detection system for our campus. With the AirWarden system by AeroDefense we got what we were looking for and more. Since installing the product, we have been able to quickly identify every drone that flies on campus. The install was quick and easy, the sales and service continue to be professional and spot-on and as for price I believe it will be hard to beat.
Whether you’re managing a university campus, a large facility, or regional operations, AirWarden Essentials says it can bring comprehensive airspace security within reach through annual single and multi-user subscription plans.
