Drone Defense & Edge-AI for Drones
Expert articles on kinetic drone interception, site drone defense, jamming resilience, and civilian onboard AI classification: infrastructure inspection, search & rescue, forest and field monitoring.
Drone Defense · Counter-UAS
Kinetic Drone Interception vs Jamming (EW)
The limits of jamming, the case for an AI drone interceptor, and why VOLKODAV works on top of the client's EW.
Protecting Warehouses & Logistics Hubs from FPV Drones
Why fences and guards don't cover the airspace, and how VOLKODAV intercepts FPV drones over a hub and its cargo.
Counter-UAS for Data Centers
Risks to cooling and power feed, the uptime threat, and protecting the DC perimeter without interfering with equipment.
Protecting Agribusiness from Drone Threats
Elevators, storage, machinery and fields: strike risk, seasonality of the threat, and integration with physical security.
Protecting Oil Storage & Refineries from Drones
Why explosive-free kinetic interception is safe near tank farms, intercepting at long range from the facility.
How Much Does Drone Protection Cost
What drives the price of an anti-drone system, what a counter-UAS package includes, and how a quote is formed after an audit.
Protecting Stadiums & Mass Events from Drones
Crowds, publicity, a temporary event perimeter: early detection and interception at long range, never over people.
Protecting Substations & Power Plants from Drones
Cascading outages, distributed energy sites, and integrating counter-UAS with EW and physical security.
Civilian edge-AI · monitoring & inspection
Edge-AI on Raspberry Pi for Drones
Onboard AI classification with no cloud: infrastructure inspection, search & rescue, forest, agriculture and power-line leak detection.
AI Drone Inspection of Power Lines
An onboard-AI drone finds defects in flight: insulators, sag, corrosion, thermal hot spots — cheaper than patrols.
AI & Thermal Drones for Search and Rescue
Thermal and onboard AI find missing people in forest, field and at night — faster than an operator and with no network.
Early Forest Fire Detection with AI Drones
Onboard detection of smoke, hot spots and thermal anomalies, with autonomous patrol and no cloud or connectivity.
AI Drones for Precision Agriculture
Crop health assessment, problem-zone detection, field and livestock monitoring — onboard processing for precision farming.
AI Drone Inspection of Bridges & Structures
Onboard detection of cracks, corrosion and deformation on hard-to-reach elements — no rope access, processing on board.
AI Drone Pipeline Leak Detection
Thermal and visual anomalies, patrol of long routes, early detection in areas with no connectivity.
Detecting Illegal Logging with AI Drones
Onboard detection of machinery, clearings and log stacks while patrolling forests — works with no cloud or connectivity.
AI Drone Inspection of Solar & Wind Farms
Panel thermal anomalies, wind-turbine blade defects, automated flyovers and onboard analytics.
One AI Module, Two Missions
How a single edge-AI core powers both civilian monitoring and counter-UAS defense. Autonomous classification without GPS.
