Ingest
Connect heterogeneous sensors and existing systems: radar tracks and video, RF / Remote ID telemetry, EO/IR, acoustic sensors and additional external sources.
- Radar tracks & video
- RF / Remote ID telemetry
- EO/IR streams

Counter-UAS · Multi-sensor fusion
Many sensors.
One operational picture.
DroneCore by Horizonte correlates radar, RF, EO/IR, acoustic and other sensor feeds into a single real-time picture of low-altitude threats — helping operators detect, understand and respond faster.

AI-assisted classification with explicit confidence and uncertainty.
Alert
Intelligent warnings for incursions, proximity and no-fly-zone breaches.
Integrate
Open interfaces and APIs to existing sensors, systems and C2 platforms.
Secure
Designed for mission environments with controlled access and flexible deployment.
01The problem
More sensors don’t automatically create better awareness.
Modern C-UAS environments increasingly contain multiple specialised sensors. Each one sees a different part of reality.
- Radardetects movement.
- RFdetects emissions.
- EO / IRprovides visual evidence.
- Acousticprovides another observation.
Operators should not have to interpret several independent screens and decide manually whether they are looking at the same object.

02What DroneCore does
From sensor feeds to operational intelligence.
02
Correlate
Determine which observations from different sensors belong to the same physical object, and maintain persistent tracks across multiple sensor systems.
- Observation association
- Persistent track identity
- Cross-sensor continuity
03
Understand
Sensor fusion, tracking algorithms and AI-assisted classification distinguish drones, birds, clutter and unknown objects — with uncertainty represented explicitly rather than hidden.
- Multi-sensor fusion
- Assisted classification
- Explicit uncertainty
04
Alert
Turn tracks into actionable warnings based on airspace incursions, proximity, no-fly-zone breaches and other operational rules.
- Airspace incursions
- Proximity rules
- No-fly-zone breaches
03Fusion
Confidence grows when sensors agree.
DroneCore by Horizonte does not simply answer “drone detected: yes”. It continuously builds and updates competing hypotheses from the evidence available at that moment.
04Open sensor architecture
Bring the sensors you already have.
DroneCore by Horizonte is designed as a sensor-agnostic integration layer. It does not replace existing sensors — it makes them work together.

06Use cases
One picture, several operational realities.
01Defence
Fuse heterogeneous sensors into a common low-altitude operational picture for Counter-UAS operations.
02Critical infrastructure
Monitor sensitive facilities using combinations of radar, RF, EO/IR and acoustic sensing.
03Airports
Combine multiple detection technologies to improve situational awareness around protected airspace.
07Interoperability
Designed to become part of the system — not another isolated system.
DroneCore exchanges information with existing sensor networks, command-and-control systems and external applications through documented APIs and open interfaces.
