Security company hensec has developed the “Drone MonSta Box” system for drone operators who want to ensure before take off that there are no jamming transmitters or other flying objects in the immediate vicinity of a drone. Installed near drone ports, the system automatically detects jamming and spoofing of GPS signals as well as flying objects of all kinds. In the event of a GPS anomaly or another drone in the immediate vicinity, an alarm is triggered to prevent the automatic launch of a drone.

The target groups are authorities and organisations with security responsibilities such as police forces, fire brigades, rescue services, disaster relief organisations and civil protection organisations. In addition, the system is aimed at drone operators with BVLOS approval, Beyond Visual Line of Sight, who depend on a “clean” air situation for autonomous launches. These drones, which fly beyond the direct visual range of the pilot, are used for delivery services, inspections or surveillance flights, for example. Furthermore, the use of the system is also recommended for drone shows.

Made in Germany exclusively with EU components

As hensec emphasises, “Drone MonSta” is manufactured in Germany. All components originate exclusively from EU countries, including both development and production. The entire system is housed in a compact, weatherproof outdoor enclosure and can easily be installed at the launch site or on the roof of a control or security building. In addition to the stationary system version, the “Drone MonSta Box”, a portable case version called the “Drone MonSta Case” is also available.

Technically, the system combines advanced airspace monitoring with continuous verification of GNSS quality. Drone MonSta visualises the monitored airspace without gaps and therefore provides a comprehensive overview of all air traffic around the autonomous launch point. For this purpose, hensec integrates data from all relevant sources including DroneID, the remote identification of drones, ADS B, Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast and the automatic transmission of aircraft position data, ADS L, Automatic Dependent Surveillance Local and local position transmission within limited airspace, FLARM, Flight Alarm and the collision warning system for aircraft, as well as additional sensors where required. All relevant information, including possible drones within the launch area, is displayed on a unified user interface.
