Public safety teams work tirelessly to maintain situational awareness, using powerful tools like Motorola Solutions’ CommandCentral Aware to get a real-time view of what’s happening on the ground. But in today’s world, threats don’t stop at ground level. A critical visibility gap has emerged in the low-altitude airspace directly above our communities.
While hobbyists enjoy flying drones as a weekend diversion, their increased popularity has led to problems with negligent or even malicious operators. From contraband drops over correctional facilities to reckless intrusions over critical infrastructure, most agencies have been unable to see or respond to what’s happening in their skies.
Until now.
We recently hosted a webinar with SkySafe to announce a new integration that closes this gap. SkySafe’s industry-leading airspace security technology now integrates directly with Motorola Solutions’ CommandCentral Aware, creating a single, unified view of operations on the ground and in the air.
This integration moves beyond drone detection to provide actionable intelligence for the entire threat lifecycle. For threats like contraband drops, its unique “forensics as a service” capability allows law enforcement to secure a malicious drone and extract key data like its flight logs and stored media. This intelligence is then compiled into prosecution-ready documentation to ensure accountability in court.
Full-spectrum awareness, zero added complexity
The partnership between SkySafe and Motorola Solutions is designed to empower agencies without adding new equipment or complex workflows to manage. This integration brings real-time, RF-based drone detection into the familiar CommandCentral Aware interface, meaning your team can gain complete airspace visibility without extra tools or training.
The integration delivers comprehensive drone detection, identifying everything from FAA-compliant remote ID drones to the vast number of non-compliant models used in unauthorized overflights.
Implementation is effortless, as SkySafe manages the complete installation of local sensors, requiring no resources from your IT or communications teams. This allows you to maintain a seamless workflow, with real-time drone alerts delivered directly into CommandCentral Aware, where events are automatically created and flight data is logged to support faster response and investigations.
The result is a single, unified platform that enhances the tools your team already uses every day, eliminating the need to monitor separate systems or learn new workflows.
Essentially, SkySafe turns CommandCentral Aware into a full-spectrum visibility platform, covering the drones you fly, and more importantly, the ones you don’t.
$500M in DHS funding is available for your agency now
Strengthening your agency’s airspace visibility has never been more accessible. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has specifically allocated $500 million for state and local agencies to acquire drone detection technology. This funding is earmarked for a wide range of organizations, including law enforcement, emergency management, airports, corrections facilities and state universities.
The best part? The SkySafe and Motorola Solutions integration is ready to go today. It is already deployed, eligible for this funding, and can be procured under existing Motorola Solutions contracts, dramatically simplifying the acquisition process.
With agencies across the country already conducting statewide drone detection audits, the time to act is now. This is the moment to prioritize airspace awareness in your budget conversations—before these dedicated funds are gone.
