Magos Systems, a pioneer in advanced radar detection technology has partnered with robotic aerial security company Nightingale Security to provide an innovative, fully-autonomous radar-activated drone solution for perimeter security.

Magos radar solution

The solution combines Magos ground-based radar detection and classification with the Blackbird autonomous drone from Nightingale that can independently respond to an event, acting as a force multiplier for human guard forces.

Magos radars work in conjunction with PTZ cameras and the Magos MASS+AI software to classify targets as wildlife, vehicles, persons, etc. to reduce nuisance alarms and categorise potential threats. Once the Magos radar solution detects a potential target, the Blackbird drone is automatically dispatched from its base station to the alarm location, streaming live video to the security team, and serving as a mobile PTZ.

Situational awareness

The threat classification capabilities of the Magos solution provide a completely automated solution"

Security teams monitoring large perimeters need instant intelligence on the location and type of threat and the ability to respond quickly based on that information,” said Yaron Zussman, General Manager, of Magos Americas.

The threat classification capabilities of the Magos solution and the instant situational awareness provided by the Nightingale drone provide a completely automated solution to arm security officers with this intelligence.”

VMS, alarm sensors, and alert system integration

Capable of flying in sustained winds up to 45 mph, the Blackbird is designed specifically for security applications and can fly for up to 33 minutes at a time.

Collecting video with both a visual sensor and a thermal sensor, the Blackbird can stream video to multiple users simultaneously and store the video in Nightingale's secure data storage. The Nightingale solution integrates with existing VMS, alarm sensors, and alert systems.

Simple perimeter installation

Blackbird drone can be used in conjunction with any radar model in the Magos portfolio

The Blackbird drone can be used in conjunction with any radar model in the Magos portfolio, providing detection from 150m up to 1000m. 

Combining radars with PTZ drones or PTZ cameras can dramatically simplify perimeter installations by reducing infrastructure requirements for cameras, poles, cabling and communications, and power infrastructure.

Accuracy and reliability

The Magos radar and classification solution is an ideal sensor to alert Nightingale drones because of Magos’ high level of accuracy and reliability, regardless of environmental conditions,” said Jack Wu, co-founder, and chief executive officer of Nightingale.

This combined solution is ideal for facilities with large perimeters, rough terrain for officers to traverse, or in remote locations where traditional camera perimeter installations are cost-prohibitive or difficult to install.”
