From Alerts to Threats: Drone Radar’s New Threat-Based Detection Model

We’re excited to introduce a transformative upgrade to Drone Radar and Monitor—shifting from an alert-based model to a threat-based system, offering a smarter, more strategic way to monitor drone activity.

Goodbye alerts

Previously, each incident—such as entering a restricted zone or exceeding altitude—generated a separate alert. While each alert was grouped by Control Zone and Flight Plan, users still had to manually connect the dots to understand the real risk.

Hello threat-based assessment

With the new threat-based approach, Drone Radar now assesses drone behaviour across an entire flight. Multiple alerts are grouped together under a single threat, and a threat level is assigned.

What’s a threat?
A threat is a full-picture evaluation of a drone flight—not just isolated events.

Benefits include:

  • Critical decision-making: Focus on what truly matters.
  • Reducing cognitive overload: One flight = one threat.
  • Security & law enforcement: Respond faster to high-risk situations.

The airspace you monitor, the rules you define

As a user, you can customise which incident types matter to you  and assign threat levels – from low to high – that reflect your own operational reality. For example, an unauthorised control zone intrusion may be marked as High, while a minor flight plan deviation could be Medium or Low.

Key enhancements and new capabilities

  • Threat levels per incident: Choose how critical each incident type is to you — for example, an unauthorised control zone intrusion may be marked as High, while a minor flight plan deviation could be Medium or Low.
  • Visual prioritisation in the UI & better UX: Easily spot what deserves attention with threat levels and color-coded visual cues.
  • Past incidents now stay visible for 15 minutes: Any incident — even if resolved — stays displayed for 15 minutes, giving your team time to review, assess, and act on short-lived or recently ended threats.
  • Seamless integration with Drone Analytics: Dive deeper into flight details instantly.

The bottom line

This isn’t just a feature upgrade—it’s a strategic leap forward. With threat-based detection, Drone Radar moves from passive monitoring to active risk management, giving users the clarity and control they need to secure the airspace they monitor.
