Drones and UAV’s give a new dimension to railway security oversight placing eyes in the sky. Limited flight times mean it is vital to locate the threat for a manned or autonomous drone to respond to. That is where Sensonic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) comes in. Geolocating threats accurately, it allows a fast and accurate response to gather evidence, increase situational awareness and to help direct an appropriate response on the ground.
Was that trespass threat alert from someone taking a shortcut home? Was it someone stealing cable? Or was it someone in emotional distress? Sensonic integration of DAS with drones allows rail operation and security teams to see the big picture of what is happening before their teams need to set their boots on the ballast.
