Why it matters

Drones hit a shipping lane, a capital’s airports and a sold-out stadium in a single day. The response differs at each site, but it always starts with seeing the drone first.

Layered detection (RF, radar, EO/IR and Remote ID) buys the warning time that physical barriers can’t. Talk to a TKG engineer about coverage at your site.
