Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)

Drones are increasingly used in physical intrusions—especially during reconnaissance—and this subsystem lays the foundation for defending against such threats.

How Does Nzyme Detect Drones?

Currently, the UAV subsystem identifies drones by decoding their Remote ID emissions—a global standard that allows drones to broadcast identifying information. Many modern drones support this feature due to international regulations.

What About Drones Without Remote ID?

Future Nzyme versions will integrate Software Defined Radio (SDR) and other techniques to detect drones that do not emit Remote ID signals. The subsystem is designed to easily accommodate these future enhancements.

For now, consider how Remote ID-equipped drones fit into your threat model. Many Nzyme users have reported valuable insights from detecting such drones—even when no action is required. For instance, a drone might be spotted near your facility but is actually conducting a legitimate inspection on neighboring property. With Nzyme, you can confirm this directly from the web interface.

As drone deliveries and recreational use expand, especially in uncontrolled airspace, this kind of situational awareness becomes increasingly critical.

Testing Drone Detection

Most drones that were produced after 2022 will send Remote ID. Make sure that your drone does send Remote ID if you want to test Nzyme drone detection.
