WhiteFox Safeguards United Nations General Assembly from Rogue Drones
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, October 30, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As global leaders representing more than 140 countries convened for the 78th United Nations General Assembly in New York City this September, the threat of drone attacks remained a pressing concern. WhiteFox Defense, a leader in counter-drone technology, played a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and security of the UN Assembly by deploying its state-of-the-art WhiteFox STRATUS system.
Drones have increasingly been used in conflicts such as the one in Ukraine, highlighting the urgent need for effective counter-drone measures in high-profile events like the UN General Assembly. WhiteFox Defense rose to the occasion by delivering a comprehensive drone detection, tracking, and risk assessment solution that operates in real-time and is cloud-based. This system was seamlessly integrated into the security architecture of the event.
"Ensuring the safety of world leaders and participants at the United Nations General Assembly is a top priority, and we are proud to have provided cutting-edge counter-drone technology to enhance security measures," said Luke Fox, CEO of WhiteFox Defense. "Our WhiteFox STRATUS system played a crucial role in detecting and mitigating potential threats, offering a higher level of security for this global gathering."
WhiteFox STRATUS is user-friendly and efficient, requiring no device setup from users. With customizable geofences and notification criteria, WhiteFox STRATUS can precisely track, report, and log drone activity as it unfolds. This real-time monitoring ensures that any unauthorized drone activity is swiftly identified and addressed.
WhiteFox's drone detection technology was implemented at Hudson Yards in New York City. In addition to enhancing security on the premises, the data collected by WhiteFox STRATUS was provided to federal and local law enforcement agencies, contributing to the overall safety of the event.
Ryan Plunket, Chief Security Officer at Related Companies, commented, "WhiteFox Defense's technology has proven to be a valuable tool in ensuring the safety and well-being of the Hudson Yards community."
WhiteFox Defense continues to lead the way in innovative counter-drone solutions, bolstering security efforts at major events and critical locations worldwide.
