AeroDefense announced that MetLife Stadium selected the\nAeroDefense Drone Detection System, AirWarden\u2122, to provide an early warning\nsystem for drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MetLife Stadium is home to the New York Jets and New York\nFootball Giants and hosts many large-scale events including concerts,\ninternational soccer, and college football games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one should fly a drone in proximity to a large gathering\nof people for a variety of security and safety-related reasons. In addition,\nMetLife Stadium is in close proximity to Teterboro Airport where there are\nsignificant FAA regulations that govern flying a drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MetLife Stadium is constantly striving to ensure the safety\nand security of its guests and in 2017 began to evaluate many different types\nof drone detection systems, including radar, radio frequency (RF), acoustic,\nand camera systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRF is currently the best solution to identify where the\ndrone and operator are, and the only one that we found that can detect the\ndrone and controller when the RF connection is first established,\u201d said Daniel\nDeLorenzi, Vice President Security & Safety Services at MetLife Stadium.\n\u201cTherefore, it\u2019s possible that we can detect the drone before it even takes\noff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once a controller or drone is detected, AirWarden notifies\nMetLife Stadium security staff so they can respond immediately. The system has\nbeen extensively tested in a stadium environment to ensure reliable detection\nand a low false-positive rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDuring NFL tailgating, the background RF noise at MetLife\nStadium can be significantly greater than a normal urban environment. This is\ndue to fans live-streaming television, using cell phones, dashcams, and even\nWiFi-enabled tailgating grills. So we\u2019ve worked diligently with MetLife Stadium\nand our team of developers to optimize the detection capabilities of our\nAirWarden system,\u201d said Linda Ziemba, Founding CEO of AeroDefense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result of the early warning provided by the AirWarden\nsystem, MetLife Stadium and local law enforcement have been able to interdict\nmany different types of drones and create a safer and more secure environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
