Germany-based Nocturne Drones, which specializes in putting together dazzling drone light shows for customers such as E.ON, Xbox, and the state of Saxony-Anhalt on the Day of German Unity, is announcing the formation of a new business unit to protect its events from unauthorized aircraft. Joining forces with San Francisco’s Dedrone, the company is establishing Nocturne Drone Defense Systems to integrate drone detection systems inside its drone show control vehicles.
Nocturne Drones recently broke a Guinness World Record for the most consecutive formations of drones. The company says its engineering team is also developing additional counterintelligence solutions for various applications. As Jens Hillenkötter, managing director of Nocturne Drones, explains:

Safety is our top priority. Since we often work in sensitive areas, it is our aim to make our shows even safer and to offer our customers complete protection against drones from a single source.

Dedrone’s cloud-based system can detect, identify, locate, and mitigate nearly 300 different types of drones, including homemade drones. The company works with clients in 35 countries around the world, including military, government, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, airports, correctional facilities, stadiums, major events, and corporations.
