DroneShield deployed for C-UAS security at Davos 2022

DroneShield has confirmed its equipment was deployed in the Counter-Unmanned Air Systems (C-UAS) role at the World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos, Switzerland on 22-26 May 2022.

WEF attracts over 2,500 participants, including world leaders and senior business executives. Swiss Police, who provided the security for the event, deployed the company’s RfPatrol body-worn detection technology for real-time drone awareness against terrorist and privacy threats. At only 1kg and size of a radio, RfPatrol provides a unique capability for mass gathering events for law enforcement personnel.

“DroneShield has a long heritage at protecting premium events, such as Boston Marathon, Olympics, Commonwealth Games, SEA Games, and IRONMAN, as well as at Davos itself previously,” said company CEO, Oleg Vornik.

“RfPatrol is a highly differentiated, ultra-light device, utilising AI at the edge, to rapidly detect a wide range of drones, including capability to detect never-seen-before threats via its AI algorithms.

“Further, our involvement in this event is a testament to the premium partner network we developed in over 100 countries globally. In Switzerland, Koller Engineering, our in-country partner for a number of years, is a trusted partner for a range of Government end users, providing technical advice for their requirements.”
