Layered counter-UAS detection: range, fusion and verification

Why detection range buys decision time, and how CoreCommand and Osprey radar turn early warning into confident action.

For: Critical infrastructure security teams, corrections, airports, government sites

Summary

What the paper covers.

The earlier a drone is detected, the more time operators have to confirm it and act. At 50 mph, every kilometer of detection range adds about 45 seconds of warning.

The paper describes a layered design of CoreCommand, Osprey SR/MR/LR radar and camera analytics, with visual confirmation before action.

Recommendations

  • Layer range so each zone is a decision point
  • Fuse radar, video, RF, Remote ID and ADS-B into one picture
  • Confirm visually before escalation, and keep the recording as evidence
