About
ApolloShield provides state-of-the-art counter-unmanned aerial system (cUAS) solutions for organizations that need to protect their airspace from unauthorized drone intrusions. At the heart of the platform is an AI-assisted drone threat library built by a dedicated radio frequency research team, enabling the system to continuously identify new drone threats and maintain industry-leading detection accuracy. The product lineup covers the full spectrum of protection needs: the Omni RF Sensor offers entry-level detection up to 1.5 km with a 3-minute setup; the Directional RF Sensor enables triangulated tracking up to 2–5 km; the RF Sense & Block creates an automatic plug-and-play 'protection bubble'; and the RF Gun and RF Jammer handle blocking—including autonomous drones. For mobile operations, ApolloShield offers a vehicle-mounted cUAS system with an intuitive driver app. All hardware integrates seamlessly into the ApolloShield Command Center, which provides real-time SMS, email, and API alerts, along with manual or automatic intrusion blocking from a single interface. The platform supports on-premise and cloud deployments and can integrate with existing security infrastructure. ApolloShield is purpose-built for enterprise, government, and critical infrastructure clients that require a single-vendor, end-to-end counter-drone solution with expert engineering support and custom configurations.
Key Features
- AI-Assisted Drone Threat Library: An RF research team uses AI to continuously identify and catalog new drone threats, keeping the detection library at the cutting edge of the industry.
- Full-Spectrum RF Detection: Omni and Directional RF sensors cover detection ranges from 1.5 km to 5 km, enabling presence detection, directional tracking, and multi-sensor triangulation.
- Automated Drone Blocking: RF jammers and the Sense & Block device automatically neutralize unauthorized drones—including autonomous ones—forcing them to return home without disrupting critical communications.
- Centralized Command Center: A unified interface consolidates all drone threat data with real-time alerts via SMS, email, and API, supporting both on-premise and cloud deployments.
- Vehicle-Mounted & Mobile Systems: A cUAS vehicle option provides on-the-go airspace protection with an intuitive driver app and automatic protection bubble for mobile deployments.
Use Cases
- Protecting critical infrastructure such as airports, power plants, and stadiums from unauthorized drone flights.
- Providing perimeter security for government facilities, military bases, and high-security events using automated RF detection and blocking.
- Enabling mobile protection for VIP convoys or field operations with the vehicle-mounted cUAS system.
- Centralizing airspace security management across multiple sites through the cloud-enabled Command Center with real-time alerts.
- Supporting law enforcement and border security agencies in tracking down and apprehending malicious drone operators.
Pros
- Single-Vendor End-to-End Solution: ApolloShield designs, sells, and integrates the complete cUAS product stack, ensuring seamless interoperability and simplified vendor management.
- Rapid Deployment: Entry-level sensors can be set up in as little as 3 minutes with no training required, making rapid deployment practical for dynamic field operations.
- Highly Customizable: Expert engineering support enables tailored configurations—custom frequency bands, output power, and integration with third-party security systems.
- Proven & Field-Tested Hardware: All products are field-proven and thoroughly tested together, reducing integration risk for mission-critical deployments.
Cons
- U.S. Regulatory Restrictions: Jamming devices cannot be sold to or used by non-federal entities in the United States due to FCC regulations, limiting availability for many U.S. commercial customers.
- Enterprise Pricing Model: No self-serve or transparent pricing is available; all purchases require a demo and sales engagement, which may slow procurement for smaller organizations.
- Hardware-Dependent: The platform requires physical RF sensors and jamming hardware, making it less accessible for organizations seeking purely software-based security solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of drones can ApolloShield detect?
ApolloShield's AI-assisted RF threat library covers all commercially available drones sold off the shelf—wholly or in parts—including autonomous drones that don't rely on a live remote control signal.
How does ApolloShield block unauthorized drones?
ApolloShield uses RF jamming technology to disrupt the communication between a drone and its operator, causing the drone to execute its failsafe behavior and return home, without affecting other critical communications in the area.
Can ApolloShield's products be used in the United States?
RF detection sensors may be used, but jamming devices cannot be sold to or operated by non-federal entities in the U.S. due to FCC and federal law restrictions. Jamming products are available to U.S. government agencies and their designated representatives.
Does ApolloShield integrate with existing security systems?
Yes. The ApolloShield Command Center supports API-based integration with third-party security infrastructure and can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud to fit into existing operations centers.
What is the detection range of ApolloShield sensors?
The Omni RF Sensor detects drones within approximately 1.5 km (~1 mile), while the Directional RF Sensor can detect and track drones at ranges of 2–5 km, with multi-sensor triangulation for higher precision.
