Drone-Enhanced Event Security

Your security team is working blind.
We fix that.

Serving Canada's National Capital Region National Capital Region

Complete aerial intelligence.
Every team. Every agency. Every moment.

One operator covers what takes dozens of ground patrols. Real-time feeds shared across security, police, EMS, and command — so everyone works from the same picture.

Airspace Protection. Ground to Sky.

Our event security just gained a new dimension. Detect, locate, and track unauthorized drones and their operators — in real time — while your aerial surveillance covers everything on the ground.

Multi-Target Detection

Identify and track 20+ drones simultaneously across 10+ UAV types and 10+ remote controller types — every threat, every operator, in real time.

Trajectory & Pilot Tracking

Track flight paths and pilot movement trajectories with distinct color-coded visualization. Know where the drone is going — and where the operator is standing.

Precise Positioning

Latitude and longitude coordinates for every detected drone and remote controller — actionable location data your security team can respond to immediately.

Intelligent Intrusion Logging

Repeated detections of the same drone are automatically merged into a single record using electronic fingerprint IDs — clean, unified intrusion data across your event timeline.

The Problem

Large Venues Break Traditional Security Models

Fixed cameras cover designated areas but miss critical zones. Ground patrols see fragments. Multiple agencies operate with fragmented communication. The result: slow response, coverage gaps, and coordination failures.

Blind spots everywhere
Fixed cameras cover designated areas but often miss parking, perimeters, backstage, and crowd transitions — where most incidents begin.
Reactive, not proactive
Ground patrols discover situations after they've escalated. By the time radio communication reaches command, minutes have been lost.
Fragmented intelligence
Security, police, EMS, and event ops each see their own slice. No shared real-time picture means delayed, uncoordinated response.
Staffing doesn't scale
More ground personnel adds cost linearly without solving the fundamental visibility problem. You need perspective, not just presence.
The AertactX Advantage

One operator. Complete coverage.
Every team on the same picture.

Replace fragmented ground-based security with unified aerial intelligence that scales without scaling headcount.

How It Works

End-to-end, from planning
to post-event

We handle every regulatory, logistical, and operational detail so your team focuses on running the event.

01

Pre-Event Intelligence

Site assessment identifies optimal coverage zones, potential coordination challenges, and strategic placement. We handle all Transport Canada SFOC requirements and airspace coordination.

02

Deploy & Integrate

Tethered drones for persistent coverage. Agile drones for rapid response. PTZ cameras for fixed zones. Private mesh network. Everything feeds into a unified VMS accessible by all authorized teams.

03

Operate & Respond

Real-time aerial oversight with thermal imaging for 24/7 capability. Agile drones reposition in 90 seconds to emerging situations while maintaining primary zone coverage. Complete documentation for post-event review.

Case Study — Live Nation Event

"For the first time, every team — security, police, medical — was looking at the same picture. That changed everything about how we coordinated."
— Event Security Director, Escapade 2025

Escapade — Ottawa's largest electronic music festival — required coordinated visibility across multiple stages, dense crowd zones, entry and exit corridors, rideshare pickup areas, public transit interfaces, and surrounding parking infrastructure. AertactX delivered a layered surveillance deployment combining tethered aerial overwatch, agile drone response, strategically positioned PTZ cameras, and a secure private network infrastructure, all integrated into a centralized command environment.
