Battle for Airspace – Has an Answer to the Drone Threat Been Found?

High Lander has unveiled 'Andromeda,' a technology that merges data from various sensors into a unified sky picture. Designed for security agencies, police, and strategic site operators, it uses Sensor Fusion to filter duplicate signals and identify friend-or-foe, categorizing drones as 'blue' or 'red.' The system also analyzes drone behavior over time to detect potential intelligence gathering. CEO Alon Abelson emphasizes that the threat in the lower airspace has become a daily reality.

Israeli company High Lander has introduced 'Andromeda,' a technology that consolidates data from multiple sensors into a single airspace picture. The system targets security agencies, police, emergency services, and strategic facility operators. Its key feature is Sensor Fusion: data from radars, radio frequency scanners, ADS-B, cameras, optical, and acoustic sensors are displayed on one unified screen. This filters duplicate signals, enhances object recognition reliability, and enables friend-or-foe identification. The system automatically classifies drones as authorized ('blue') or unauthorized/hostile ('red'). Additionally, it analyzes drone behavior over time: if the same unidentified drone is spotted near different protected sites, the program detects a pattern and warns of potential intelligence gathering. The solution is hardware-agnostic and integrates with other company products like Vega UTM and Orion DFM. High Lander CEO Alon Abelson stresses that the lower airspace threat is no longer a future scenario but a harsh daily reality, requiring an intelligent software layer to merge data and distinguish legitimate traffic from real threats.
