Passive drone capture for airports

Airports detect drones. Police and authorities respond. ADAGE adds a passive physical layer that supports both.

The challenge

A drone near a terminal or runway disrupts operations, and airports generally can't take it down themselves. Detection tells you something is there. A fixed physical layer gives protection at the assets that matter while authorities respond.

What we offer

  • Patent-pending roof-mounted deployment on mechanical telescopic poles, for terminals, fuel farms and critical airside assets.
  • A patent-pending magnetic coating on the netting, attracted to the magnets in a drone's motors.
  • Designed to hold what it catches through descent and recovery, so the drone comes back intact for evidence.

Why passive

No power, no RF emission and no software. It adds no radio signal near airport systems and needs no spectrum licence.

Fits what you have

It works alongside your existing detection and the police response. It complements them and doesn't replace them.

Where we are

Early stage. Australian provisional patent applications filed. Accepted into the Cicada Innovations Assemble program, and working with Deakin.
