Airports & Airspace

Verified airspace, without unnecessary disruption.

Protect airspace with precise, real-time threat verification. Maintain safe airport operations while minimising false alerts, unnecessary shutdowns, and response fatigue.

Clearing the Airspace Is Only the Beginning

False Alarms Can Shut Down Runways

A single unverified alert can halt flights, trigger missed slots, and lead to avoidable disruption.

Threats Emerge in Complex, Populated Zones

Incidents span terminals, taxiways, and landside areas, where fast, confident decisions are difficult.

Public and Regulatory Scrutiny Is Constant

Every action must be proportionate, auditable, and defensible in real time and after the fact.

Security Teams Operate Under Pressure

Operators have seconds to assess a situation, often without full visibility or ground confirmation.

Detection Alone Isn’t Enough

True protection requires verifying when the airspace is clear, not just identifying potential threats.

Tailored to airport environments

Adapted to Complex Layouts

Covers long runways, overlapping zones, and cluttered perimeters with site-specific configurations.

Deployed at Major European Airports

Operational in high-traffic environments with proven integration across multiple sensor types.

Fuses Multi-Sensor Inputs

Combines radar, RF, optical, and acoustic detection to deliver high-confidence alerts.

Supports Operational Workflows

Built to integrate into airport operations, security protocols, and aviation compliance frameworks - such as telematics.

Confirms Airspace Is Clear

Each alert includes classification, escalation steps, and post-event verification to maintain continuity.

Intelligent Airspace Defence:
Detection, Verification, Recovery

At airports, detection is only the start. Real protection means knowing when it’s safe to stand down, restoring confidence after every alert, and maintaining safe operations without overreaction.

Fuse Multi-Sensor Inputs

Combines radar, RF, optical, and acoustic data to improve classification and avoid gaps in coverage.

Detect Across Complex Zones

Supports wide-area coverage across runways, terminals, landside, and airside, designed for airport layouts.

Verify Clear Airspace, Not Just a Threat

Every alert is tracked through resolution, including post-event checks to confirm the skies are safe.

Reduce Operational Disruption

Filters out harmless objects like delivery drones, baggage tugs, or birds - helping avoid unnecessary shutdowns or escalations.

Deliver Decision-Ready Context

Provides alerts with supporting evidence, escalation paths, and expert review to support proportionate response.

Beyond Drone Detection Systems: Verifying Airspace Matters

In this article, we explore why detecting drones isn’t enough and why airspace verification is critical for safety, compliance, and confident decision-making at high-risk sites.

Victor Chavez CBE Appointed as Chair

OSL has appointed Victor Chavez CBE as Chair, following a year of service as a Non-Executive Director. His appointment reinforces OSL's strategic focus on delivering advanced air and ground protection for fixed-site deployments in homeland defence and national security environments.

CUAS Myths Debunked: What Most Buyers Still Get Wrong About Drone Defence

At critical sites, safety hinges on more than just technology. It demands a clear and shared understanding of the threat landscape. Misconceptions around counter-uncrewed aerial systems (CUAS) don’t just risk wasting budget. They can lead to flawed procurement, ineffective integration, delayed responses, and, ultimately, operational vulnerability.
