Drone? Spotted 👀 The NetSense™ solution offers real-time UAS identification, tracking and alerts for customers in critical infrastructure industries — commercial and government. Sarah Hiza, senior vice president of technology and strategic innovation, shares how NetSense Airspace Awareness as a Service™ leverages existing 5G infrastructure to monitor the skies for potential threats.
The detection is only half the problem. An airspace picture is only as trustworthy as the identity behind each track — an unidentified UAS is the physical version of an unattributed actor on a network. Awareness as a service, built on infrastructure already in place, is the right model: identify first, then act on what you see. — Joseph Martinez, CISO, Munyay Holdings Incorporation
Using existing 5G infrastructure gives the airspace monitoring approach a practical focus. Clear alerts can help teams responsible for critical infrastructure understand what has been detected and decide how to respond.
Protecting our critical infrastructure requires both advanced tech and a deep sense of responsibility for community safety.
Have you talked to American engineer, inventor, and retired U.S. Air Force colonel Prof. Bradford Parkinson ? He was in Europe in 2024 and was interested how GPS singal was interferred by enemies of NATO. How about writting in Google serach the question like this: "How can the 5G system currently be disrupted? Many people are thinking here about economic and military sabotage—for example, if Russia wants to do it. Where are the weakest points of 5G?"
This is so great to see! Using drones to ensure safety for attendees at large events is a huge help for people to feel secure.
Awesome to see LM has our six. 🇺🇸
This is an outstanding capability leveraging existing infrastructure. Keep pushing to get this capability fully developed!
Using existing 5G infrastructure is a smart way to get coverage over critical sites without building a sensor network from scratch. The question we would ask from the field is what it sees when the drone doesn’t talk back. In Ukraine, the threats that matter most increasingly fly without an RF link at all: fibre-optic FPVs, or autonomous terminal guidance. Low altitude, urban clutter and terrain shadows make it harder still. Passive RF and network-based detection is a strong first layer, but the real test is how it hands off to acoustic or EO/IR when the target goes silent. Would be interesting to see NetSense evaluated in a contested RF-dense environment.
