Robotics Data, a robotics analytics and consultant firm, has announced
the release of a report providing details on the counter-drone systems market. Also known as
counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS), the market includes equipment and software that
allows organizations and governments to detect drones that may be threatening their airspace
or facilities.
While most organizations cannot legally take down an unauthorized drone, many of the
companies listed in Robotics Data’s 10-page report offer different methods of detecting the
drones. Because of the increase in the number of global incidents caused by unauthorized
drones around the world, organizations increasingly need to understand which companies can
provide gear to counter the threat.
“The counter-drone market is quickly maturing as companies figure out the best way to detect
drones that may pose a threat to their facilities,” says Keith Shaw, general partner at Robotics
Data and co-author of the report. “While many companies may wish to bring the drones down as
well, only some federal agencies are allowed to do so at the moment. However, should that
change, companies in our report will be ready to offer additional systems to help track the
drones and assist law enforcement.”
The report is currently on sale for $199 through the end of December. The report can be
purchased by visiting the Robotics Data website at www.robotics-data.com. Additional reports
from Robotics Data include coverage of marine and maritime robotics, UV-C disinfection robots,
and automated ground vehicles (AGVs). Additional reports are coming soon, and the company
also creates custom market reports for interested companies.
