At a time when the use of drones is rapidly expanding – from filming events to aerial reconnaissance – the threat of their use for unauthorized purposes is real and growing. For this reason, anti-drone systems are becoming an essential element for public and private security, including in Albania.
What is an Anti-Drone system?
An anti-drone system is a technological solution that combines the detection, identification, tracking, and neutralization of unauthorized drones. These systems are used to prevent unauthorized surveillance, prohibited transportation, or high-level threats over sensitive areas.
How does a typical anti-drone system work?
Detection: Through radar, RF sensors or thermal cameras.
- Identification: Analyzes the model, serial number, altitude, and direction of the drone.
- Classification: Checks whether the drone is on the “allowed” or “prohibited” list (whitelist/blacklist).
- Tracking: Monitors the trajectory in real time and can locate the pilot.
- Neutralization (Optional): In advanced systems, the signal can be interrupted or a command “takeover” can be performed.
Where are anti-drone systems used in practice?
- Airports and runways
- State institutions and military areas
- Mass events (sporting events, concerts)
- VIP residences or isolated villas
- Companies with large properties or that process sensitive data
- In Albania, such systems have already been installed by AlbaScan in state institutions and environments with high security status.
The real dangers in the absence of an anti-drone system:
Unauthorized surveillance (filming of indoor spaces, movements or documents)
- Direct attacks with small payloads (such as explosives, illegal substances or eavesdropping devices)
- Obstruction of air communications at civil airports
- Violation of the privacy of persons or private property
