C-UAS ecosystem Β· RPAS Wilco

RPAS Wilco SafeAirspace

SafeAirspace is an end-to-end C-UAS platform that connects RF drone detection, flight authorization and response into one operational ecosystem for airports, prisons and critical infrastructure.

Ecosystem

Truly end-to-end

Other C-UAS tools give you dots on a map. SafeAirspace connects the dots β€” linking detection, authorization and response into one continuous loop.

Challenge

Unauthorized drones. Fragmented tools. Slow decisions.

Low-altitude airspace is getting crowded at the exact places where risk is highest β€” airports, prisons, city centers and critical infrastructure.

Most C-UAS deployments still rely on standalone sensors and manual workflows: detections live in one system, flight approvals in another, and response in someone’s notebook or inbox.

The result is delay: by the time teams decide whether a drone is a threat, it may have already delivered contraband, disrupted operations or simply disappeared.

The real questions your C-UAS should answer

Is this flight authorized?

Where is the pilot actually standing?

Who approved this mission β€” and under what conditions?

What response is appropriate and lawful right now?

SafeAirspace turns raw RF detections into airspace intelligence that answers these questions in one place.

Sensors

RF detection and countermeasures β€” one unified sensor family

AIM RF sensors passively decode rich drone telemetry and feed it into the SafeAirspace fusion engine. For qualified agencies, jamming systems add carefully controlled response capabilities.

Platform

One C-UAS ecosystem: detection, authorization, response

SafeAirspace is built on the RPAS Wilco cloud platform. Sensors, pilots and responders feed into a single fusion engine that classifies each drone as authorized, off-profile or unknown.

Detection channel

SafeAirspace Detect

Multi-form factor RF sensors send real-time detections into the SafeAirspace gateway and RPAS Wilco fusion engine β€” across one site or many.

Authorization channel

RPAS Wilco Authorization

Pilots submit site surveys, flight plans and time windows through RPAS Wilco. Airports, prisons and infrastructure owners receive structured, auditable approvals instead of ad hoc calls.

Response channel

Response & DFR

Operators see drone identity, pilot location and authorization status in one UI. They follow playbooks, trigger drone-in-the-box patrols, and β€” for qualified agencies β€” coordinate jamming as part of a controlled response.

Verticals

Built for high-consequence airspace

SafeAirspace is designed for places where a single drone can halt operations or compromise safety. The same ecosystem scales from one perimeter to an entire region.

Airports

Support drone notification, RF detection and ATC-style awareness around runways, aprons and perimeters. SafeAirspace is already in use around Canadian airports including Ottawa (YOW), Halifax, Langley and Peterborough.

Prisons & corrections

Detect contraband drones, see launch points and pilot locations, and maintain strict no-fly bubbles around facilities. Authorized maintenance or inspection flights still run through RPAS Wilco for full traceability.

Critical infrastructure

Protect power generation, utilities, data centers and bridges with continuous lower airspace awareness β€” combining fixed and mobile RF sensors with SafeAirspace intelligence dashboards.

Integrations

Plug into VMS and RTM β€” not another silo

SafeAirspace is designed to sit alongside the systems you already run β€” video management, security operations and, over time, RPAS Traffic Management (RTM) services.

VMS & security platforms

SafeAirspace integrates with enterprise security tools such as Genetec Security Center so airspace incidents appear in the same pane of glass as cameras, doors and perimeter sensors.

Towards DAA & RTM

As traffic grows, the same RF and authorization data powering SafeAirspace can provide inputs to Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) and RPAS Traffic Management (RTM) services β€” giving civil aviation partners a live view of low-altitude operations.

Use cases

Drone-as-Infrastructure & Drone-as-First-Responder

SafeAirspace is more than a sensor project. It becomes part of the digital infrastructure for how your city, airport or agency manages drones β€” both threats and trusted operators, and over time, DAA and RTM services.

Drone-as-Infrastructure

Cities and agencies can co-invest in RF nodes across rooftops, towers and civic facilities to build a shared low-altitude safety layer. The same network supports C-UAS protection today and DAA/RTM services tomorrow β€” instead of every department buying isolated tools.

Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR)

When detections or 911 calls indicate a potential incident, SafeAirspace can cue drone-in-the-box systems to launch, investigate and provide live video β€” with full awareness of authorized flights, nearby constraints and evolving RTM rules.
