Real-Time Mobile Network Signalling Insight & Counter-UAS

Detect and track UAVs connected to 4G and 5G mobile networks for BVLOS control — without field-deployed sensors. Our platform enables nationwide Counter-UAS (CUAS) detection from a single integration point.

Clarity from complexity. Security through intelligence. Engineered for mission success.

We transform LTE and 5G signalling into actionable insight—helping operators optimise networks and enabling defenders to detect threats and anomalies.

Network Insight. Threat Detection. Operational Confidence.

Purpose-built AI-powered analysis solutions for defence, security, and MNOs.

Detect, Track and Interdict Drones Using Mobile Networks

Closed-door technical session examines how existing 4G and 5G mobile networks can be used as a national-scale layer for the detection, tracking, and control of hostile drones that exploit cellular networks for Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLoS) operations.

Governments, NATO military, law enforcement and MNOs only.

Interdicting Hostile Drones Using Mobile Networks

Closed-door technical session examines theoretical approaches by which existing mobile networks could, in principle, be used as a national-scale layer for the interdiction of hostile drones that exploit cellular connectivity for Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLoS) operations.

FAQ: SIGNALLING ANALYSIS / DRONE DETECTION

Expert answers for complex networks

Get clear answers to key questions on our signalling analysis platform.

Which sectors do you serve?

We support defence, security, telecom, and critical infrastructure organisations with advanced analysis and threat detection.

How does your signalling analysis work?

We monitor control-plane traffic in real-time to detect unauthorised devices and emerging threats on mobile networks.

How does 4G LTE / 5G signalling analysis work?

It monitors control-plane events like attachments, handovers, and paging, correlating them in real time to reveal device behaviour without accessing user data.

How are UAVs detected via 4G LTE / 5G without inspecting user data?

By analysing abnormal signalling patterns—frequent handovers, unusual trajectories, or sustained uplinks—the analyser distinguishes airborne devices from ground users, using only metadata.

Who benefits from signalling analysis?

Mobile operators gain network visibility and anomaly detection, while defence and security organisations use it to identify hostile UAV activity, potential threats, and enhance situational awareness.

Can it integrate with existing systems?

Yes. The analyser provides APIs and data feeds for seamless integration with OSS, SIEM, or C4I platforms, ensuring real-time intelligence supports existing workflows.
