D-Fend solutions has received additional confirmation from the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for EnforceAir2, the company’s counter-drone technology, following completion of a series of evaluations related to airport operational continuity.
In communications with D-Fend Solutions, the FAA commented that it had “evaluated EnforceAir2’s ability to detect, track, and identify potential risks posed by errant or hostile unmanned aircraft systems, and ensured the system does not adversely impact or interfere with safe airport operations, navigation, air traffic services, or the safe and efficient operation of the National Airspace System”. The evaluation was conducted as part of Section 383(a) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, which requires the FAA to develop a plan for certifying, permitting, authorising, or allowing drone detection and mitigation systems in the National Airspace System.
In 2023, D-Fend was selected for participation in the FAA’s Airport UAS Detection and Mitigation Research programme at Atlantic City International Airport (KACY) and Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR). The programme aims to enable the agency to work with other federal departments to ensure that systems are being developed, tested, or deployed to detect and mitigate potential risks posed by errant or hostile drone operations.
