Runway disruption risks
An unverified sighting can stop movements long before anyone can confirm what was actually in the air.
Airports
Drone detection that keeps runways open.
DroneCore by Horizonte correlates airport detection sensors into one verified picture, so a reported sighting becomes a confirmed track — and a documented decision — in seconds.

01Operational reality
More sensors don't automatically create better awareness.
Flight delays
Slow verification turns a short incident into hours of recovery across the schedule.
Regulatory compliance
Authorities expect traceable evidence of what was detected, when, and what was done about it.
Multiple security systems
Detection, video, access control and the SOC each hold part of the picture and none holds all of it.
02What changes
One correlated picture, built from what you already operate.
Faster drone identification
Correlated radar and RF evidence with confidence scoring instead of a single ambiguous return.
Reduced operational disruption
Confirmed classification supports proportionate response rather than precautionary shutdowns.
Improved coordination
Tower, security and the SOC work from the same track list and the same alert.
Better incident reporting
Track playback, statistics and export produce a defensible record for the regulator.
03Example deployment
International airport integrating drone detection and airport security systems.
- 01
Ingest
Perimeter radar and RF/Remote ID receivers stream into DroneCore alongside existing video.
- 02
Correlate
Detections are associated into single tracks and separated from bird and clutter activity.
- 03
Understand
Airspace incursion and no-fly zone rules raise scored alerts with cued camera views.
- 04
Decide
Alerts and tracks are shared with the SOC, tower and security systems, with full replay retained.
04Integration examples
Designed to become part of the system — not another isolated system.
DroneCore by Horizonte is sensor-agnostic. It ingests from the equipment already deployed and publishes correlated tracks onward through documented APIs and open interfaces.

06Questions
Frequently asked
?Do we need to replace our existing airport detection sensors?
No. DroneCore by Horizonte ingests from the radar, RF and camera systems already installed and correlates their output into one picture.
?Can DroneCore support regulatory incident reporting?
Yes. Track playback, statistics and reporting exports provide a traceable record of what was detected and when.
?How does it reduce false alarms around an airfield?
Fusion across independent sensor types plus AI classification suppresses bird and clutter activity that a single sensor would report as a target.
?Does it interface with our A-SMGCS and VMS?
DroneCore publishes correlated tracks and alerts over documented REST and streaming interfaces, and cues PTZ cameras through supported video management platforms.
