About
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.
