Four kinds of sensor, radio, broadcast identity, cameras and microphones, detect, identify and track unmanned aircraft before they reach the fence. Nothing transmits.
Request a briefingMost counter-drone systems emit, jam or need a licence. Many of the sites that need protection can use none of them.
Quick UAS Identification and Early Tracking. UAS means unmanned aircraft systems: drones. QUIET is a network of passive sensors around your perimeter, combined into one live picture for the people responsible for it. Each sensor takes its own bearing; where they agree, QUIET places the aircraft, follows it and checks it against the aircraft you have authorised.
Substations and plants where nothing may interfere with the site's own radio and control systems.
Walls that drones cross with deliveries. Staff need to know one is coming, and from where, before it arrives.
Refineries, chemical and process sites where the airspace above the fence is part of the perimeter.
Crowds, live broadcast and a perimeter that exists only for the day.
A hardened variant for government and defence users is in development.
Sensors receive drone radio links, the identity signals many drones broadcast by law and crewed air traffic. Cameras and microphones cover drones that fly without a radio link. Each site gets the mix it needs.
Independent observations are checked against each other and merged into tracks with a position and a history, so one drone is one alert.
Operators see a live map of what is in the air, with your registered aircraft kept apart from everything else, and a record of every event.
One map, one track per aircraft, and the evidence behind it. This view is illustrative: made-up data, not the production interface.
Stays on your site. Runs on your own infrastructure and works offline, maps included.
Accountable. Authenticated sensors, encrypted links and a log of every operator action.
Most systems on the market jam the aircraft or find it with radar. QuietSky does neither. It listens and looks, and the difference matters on the ground.
A jammer floods the drone's control link until the pilot loses it. It is the only one of the three that stops the aircraft. It also transmits at power: it needs a transmitter licence, it can knock out radio, navigation and communications around the site, and it tells the pilot exactly where it is. Most civil sites will never be licensed to run one.
Radar sends out pulses and reads what comes back, so it finds anything that flies, with or without a radio link. It still transmits, usually under licence, and what it sees is a blip, not an aircraft: a bird and a drone look alike until a camera confirms. Strong at range, weak at telling you what you are looking at.
QuietSky never transmits. Receivers pick up the control link and the identity many drones broadcast; cameras and microphones cover the ones that fly silent. There is no licence to obtain, nothing around the site is disturbed, and the pilot never learns it is there. It identifies the aircraft and tells you where it is. It does not stop it. Where a site needs an active response, it hands the track to one.
QuietSky never transmits, jams or interferes with any signal. There is no transmitter licence to apply for, no risk of disrupting radio, navigation or communications around your site, and nothing on the air that gives the system away.
General characteristics of each category, not a comparison with any named product.
No. QuietSky detects, identifies and tracks. It has no transmitter and never acts on the aircraft. If your site is permitted to use an active countermeasure, QuietSky can pass it the track.
QuietSky transmits nothing, so there is no transmitter licence to apply for. Rules on camera and microphone use vary by country and site; we cover them in the briefing.
The operator screen shows the track on a map of your site, with what each sensor contributed and whether the aircraft broadcast an identity. Alerts can go to the people and systems you already use.
Yes. Alerts and tracks can be forwarded to your control room, video management system or operations centre. The details depend on what you run and are covered in the briefing.
Detections, recordings and logs stay on equipment at your site. Nothing leaves it unless you decide it should.
Ranges, sensors and performance are shared with qualified partners under NDA. Request a briefing and we will walk you through them for your site.
Performance, hardware and deployment details are shared with qualified partners under NDA. Tell us about your site and we will arrange a briefing.
