ApolloShield Overview
ApolloShield detects unauthorized drones and sends them a "go home" command, disconnecting the original operator and forcing them to land safely. It uses multiple technologies to detect supported drones, including cameras and audio and radio sensors. ApolloShield is able to estimate the location of the detected drones and their operators, allowing security teams to assess the risk. ApolloShield can also find the unique identifiers of most drones, enabling law enforcement agencies to pursue irresponsible operators.

ApolloShield's new system detects and sends unwanted drones home
ApolloShield has launched an anti-drone system that detects and forces unauthorized drones to fly home. The startup aims to sell its technology to venues with high-security needs. The system includes a ground unit that scans for drone communications and connects to a cloud-based command center. It can identify the type and unique ID of a drone, allowing users to differentiate between malicious and welcome drones. ApolloShield has received funding from Y Combinator and angel investors, raising about $500,000 to-date. The company plans to improve its systems and compete with other drone detection firms and anti-drone tech providers.
