Coordinate and control
the airspace above your port
Real-time situational awareness for drone activity in complex port environments. Helping port authorities to assess drone risk with clarity, while enabling legitimate drone operations to continue safely.
— THE PROBLEM
The Pressure on Port Authorities
Port authorities are under growing pressure to increase efficiency, enable innovation, and strengthen security:
Growing drone security threats
From recreational incursions to smuggling, espionage, and deliberate
attacks.
Drone operations are multiplying
Inspection, surveillance, environmental monitoring, and emergency response all require safe coordination.
Limited airspace visibility and unclear responsibility
No shared operational picture, and unclear ownership of detection and response.
Complex stakeholder environments
Involving public authorities, private operators, logistics players and security actors.
— THE APPROACH
Built for port operations
PortGuard provides a single operational layer to manage and coordinate all drone activity in and around the port.
Authorisation and governance
Of legitimate drone operations in the port.
System integration
With existing port and security systems.
Advanced threat classification
Reducing false alarms across detections.
Multi-sensor integration
RF, radar, camera and acoustic hardware to detect recreational and professional drones.
ATM and UTM integration
For full airspace context across stakeholders.
Operational analytics & forensics
For post-incident review and continuous improvement.
— HOW IT WORKS
From detection to decision: structured airspace awareness
PortGuard applies the DITTA™ methodology to translate airspace data into shared operational understanding:
Detection
Noticing a drone is present in the air and displaying it on a digital map in real time.
Identification
Determining its type, serial number, authorisation status and operator ID.
Tracking
Following its position, movement and behaviour over time to understand patterns.
Threat Assessment
Deciding whether it poses a credible risk based on its behaviour.
Action
Initiating an appropriate response based on the assessed level of risk.
Airspace activity, understood across stakeholders.
— OUTCOMES
Operational confidence for ports
Aligned and coordinated airspace operations
— WHAT TO RETAIN
Clarity when it matters most
PortGuard allows port authorities to confidently unlock the benefits of drones while maintaining full control over the port airspace.
