DroneShield's AI capabilities focus on multi-domain (such as radiofrequency and optical/thermal) detection and tracking of potential threats, both UAS and non-drone focussed, as well as sensorfusion.
In Brazil, in a rare public disclosure of DroneShield equipment use, prison police has shared details of intercepting a drone carrying contraband into prison in Ribeirao das Neves.

DroneShield has also recently released its updated 6th edition of the C-UAS Factbook, helping to navigate the expanding and complex world of C-UAS technologies.
