D-Fend protects skies and public during El Paso’s Amigo Airsho

The El Paso International Airport, in partnership with D-Fend Solutions, successfully piloted a project to monitor the airspace during October’s Amigo Airsho.

The two-day event drew over 60,000 attendees, celebrating aviation with a variety of aerial performances and aircraft displays. To protect the event and its participants, the airport implemented D-Fend’s counter-drone measures to safeguard restricted airspace. 

“The initiative provided a unique opportunity to test counter-drone technology in a dynamic and challenging environment like an airshow,” D-Fend said. “By detecting and mitigating unauthorised drones, the programme successfully prevented disruptions and demonstrated the potential for future safety enhancements.”

D-Fend’s counter-drone technology has been designed to autonomously execute RF cyber-takeovers of rogue drones for safe landings and controlled outcomes. The company recently secured USD31M in the initial closing of a new investment round.
