Large open operational areas
Quays, approaches and anchorages extend far beyond any single sensor's usable range.
Ports & maritime
Situational awareness across open water and quayside.
DroneCore by Horizonte fuses coastal radar, RF detection, AIS and CCTV into one maritime picture, so port authorities and terminal operators see the same activity at the same time.

01Operational reality
More sensors don't automatically create better awareness.
Cross-border drone activity
Flights originate from water, neighbouring jurisdictions or vessels, with no clean handover point.
Limited visibility
Weather, sea clutter and night operations degrade the sensors relied on individually.
Multiple stakeholders
Port authority, terminal operators, coast guard and police each hold a partial view.
02What changes
One correlated picture, built from what you already operate.
Maritime situational awareness
Air and surface context combined into one continuously updated operational picture.
Multi-sensor tracking
Coastal radar, RF and camera evidence associated into single tracks with confidence scoring.
Centralized monitoring
One console for shoreline, terminal and approach coverage instead of separate systems.
Better coordination
The same track and alert can be shared across authorities and terminal security.
03Example deployment
Commercial port integrating shoreline radar, RF detection and security operations.
- 01
Ingest
Coastal radar, RF receivers, AIS feeds and quayside CCTV connect into DroneCore.
- 02
Correlate
Air tracks are fused and cross-referenced with vessel traffic context.
- 03
Understand
Classification and zone rules distinguish routine port activity from incursions.
- 04
Decide
Alerts reach the port command centre and partner agencies through shared interfaces.
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
?Can DroneCore combine drone tracks with vessel traffic data?
Yes. AIS and vessel traffic feeds can be ingested as context alongside correlated air tracks in the same operational picture.
?How does it cope with sea clutter and bad weather?
Fusion across independent sensor types means a degraded radar picture is corroborated or corrected by RF and imagery evidence before an alert is raised.
?Can several organisations share the same picture?
Correlated tracks and alerts are published over documented interfaces, so port authority, terminal security and partner agencies can consume the same data.
?Is the platform tied to specific radar vendors?
No. DroneCore by Horizonte is sensor-agnostic and ingests standard formats including ASTERIX and JSON.
