Large geographic areas
Grid and production assets are spread across terrain that no single sensor position can cover.
Energy & utilities
One command centre for many protected sites.
DroneCore by Horizonte centralises drone detection across substations, terminals, plants and grid assets, turning many partial sensor feeds into one scalable, high-confidence monitoring picture.

01Operational reality
More sensors don't automatically create better awareness.
Many facilities, many sensor mixes
Each substation or plant grows its own equipment, and nothing joins them into a national picture.
High-consequence incidents
A single incursion over an energy or process facility carries safety, security and continuity consequences.
Small security teams
Utility operators cannot watch dozens of consoles or chase repeated false alerts around the clock.
02What changes
One correlated picture, built from what you already operate.
Centralised monitoring
All sites report into one operational picture with per-site and portfolio views.
Higher detection confidence
Independent sensor types corroborate each other before an alert reaches an operator.
Fewer false alarms
AI classification separates drones from birds, weather and industrial clutter.
Scalable architecture
Add sites and sensors without redesigning the monitoring model.
03Example deployment
National energy operator monitoring multiple sites from one command centre.
- 01
Ingest
Site-local RF sensors, radar and cameras feed edge instances at each facility.
- 02
Correlate
Edge nodes fuse local evidence into tracks and forward them to the central instance.
- 03
Understand
Central operators see all sites ranked by scored severity, not by raw detection volume.
- 04
Decide
Alerts flow into the PSIM and SOC tooling that the operator already runs.
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.

Dozens of sites, one watchfloor, far fewer false alerts.
A national operator deployed DroneCore at the edge of each facility and aggregated correlated tracks into a single command centre, letting a small team supervise the whole portfolio.

06Questions
Frequently asked
?Can DroneCore monitor several facilities from one location?
Yes. Edge instances fuse sensor evidence locally and forward correlated tracks to a central command centre view.
?Does it work with our PSIM or SOC platform?
DroneCore by Horizonte publishes alerts and tracks through documented REST and streaming interfaces designed for PSIM and SOC integration.
?How do you handle sites with different sensor mixes?
The fusion engine is sensor-agnostic, so each site can run whatever combination of radar, RF, EO/IR and acoustic equipment suits its terrain.
?Can it run without cloud connectivity?
Yes. On-premise and edge deployment are supported, including operation inside isolated OT or security domains.
