R2 Wireless and Ôguen Tecnologias have partnered to launch a managed drone detection service in São Paulo, Brazil, making it the first city to implement a municipal-scale Drone Detection as a Service (DDaaS) network. This initiative aims to address rising concerns over the use of drones by criminal organizations, offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional counter-drone systems.
The DDaaS network will provide continuous monitoring of urban airspace through a subscription model, allowing public agencies and private organizations to access drone detection, geolocation, and real-time airspace awareness without the need for hardware purchases. R2 Wireless's technology operates at the physical RF layer, enabling it to detect and geolocate various types of drones, including modified and spoofed systems.
As commercial drones evolve, the demand for adaptable counter-drone solutions grows. The partnership aims to support a wide range of users, including critical infrastructure operators and government sites, and reflects a broader trend towards service-based approaches in airspace security. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
