The Latest Updates, Perspectives and Stories From MatrixSpace
DroneSense & MatrixSpace: Situational Awareness to Unlock Critical Response
DroneSense customers can now seamlessly conduct remote operations with comprehensive airspace awareness in a common operating picture with the inclusion of MatrixSpace radar detection intelligence.
Radar, Aviation Radionavigation vs. Radiolocation—Why Your Use Case Matters
The usage of radar for guiding vehicles and protecting people/places is strictly regulated for safety and to ensure reliability across radio spectrums. Your use case dictates how to comply with rules for radionavigation and radiolocation.
8 Ways Combined Radar and Drone Solutions Can Improve Rail Safety and Security
Railyards and rail lines face significant challenges daily—from theft, vandalism, and costly derailments. Technology enables securing their perimeters more effectively while also improve asset inspection practices.
Advancing Air Mobility: The Skyway and MatrixSpace Partnership
We recently announced a joint venture with Skyway to advance the integration of intelligent air traffic management and uncrewed aircraft detection systems. Skyway develops vertiports and provides advanced solutions for vertiport traffic management and unmanned airspace planning. MatrixSpace provides outdoor sensor solutions leveraging radar technology for use in defense and commercial applications, which addresses this need. The companies’ partnership is intended to support several aspects of enabling practical advanced air mobility (AAM) initiatives in the United States.
The Urgent Need for Low Altitude Awareness in the National Airspace
The recent New Jersey drone panic has made it clear: people want to know what’s flying in low altitude airspace. Why can’t we provide the level of clarity demanded? What’s needed to make it happen?
The Case for Drone Operations Above 200' with Airspace Sensors
While some industry influencers argue DFR operations are best run up to 200 feet above ground under shielded conditions (only), we explore the risks of this practice as well as the benefits of extending operational altitude with airspace sensors.
L3Harris: The Future of Tracking and Defeating Drones
L3Harris recently collaborated with MatrixSpace to demonstrate how the companies’ novel technologies can be combined to provide a ground-breaking, low-cost solution to detecting, identifying, and tracking drones.
With MatrixSpace Radar, Campbell Police Department expands DFR Program to single person operations, flying day and night at higher altitudes
Expanding its pioneering Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, Campbell…
The New Frontier of Port Security
Nautical ports have historically been the primary means for large volumes of cargo and people, including intercoastal shipping from local ports or from ports across the world.
Latest News
The Drone Ultimatum October 2026
NEW POD with Matthew Kling, VP and GM of AI Systems at MatrixSpace! Modern air defense faces a growing economic challenge: inexpensive drones can threaten radar systems and military infrastructure worth hundreds of millions of dollars. We cover MatrixSpace’s development of a lightweight radar, its work integrating with counter-UAS systems like Bullfrog, and why processing sensor data at the edge matters for military operations.
Building the Onion: How MatrixSpace Layers Counter-drone Defense
Nobody owns the sky anymore. That reality anchored a wide-ranging conversation with MatrixSpace, a company whose technology has evolved from a data-networking concept into a core sensing layer now demonstrated and evaluated across multiple military exercises in Europe and increasingly relevant to domestic public safety agencies. In an Autonomy Global exclusive, Retired Army Brigadier General Peter “Pete” Jones and Robert “Bob” Alger of MatrixSpace unpacked how distributed radar and AI-driven sensor fusion now reshape counter-UAS strategy for the military, homeland security and public safety agencies.
MatrixSpace C-UAS distributed sensor systems detect drone warfare swarms
MatrixSpace is developing C-UAS radar and distributed sensor networks to detect, track, and identify drones in low-altitude airspace. The use of drones continues to rise as they become the focus of the new battlespace. Can they also increase warfighters’ safety and lower the cost of warfare? Drones allow the operator to be far away from the frontlines and can travel into difficult-to-reach places while costing significantly less than most munitions. The United States and Allies have embraced drone warfare, but they’re not the only ones; adversaries have increasingly been using drones in their attacks. With so many drones in use, the next phase is counter-drone activity.
MatrixSpace strengthens executive team
Counter-drone tech specialist MatrixSpace has appointed industry veteran John Bagocius head of sales. John Bagocius brings more than two decades of leadership experience, spanning commercial growth, strategic partnerships and mission enablement, including senior positions at Draganfly, Aeryon Labs, FLIR Systems and Crossmatch (HID).
Policing with drones in Palm Springs, California
Lieutenant William Hutchinson, Palm Springs Police Department, Real Time Intelligence Center (RTIC) & Drone as First Responder (DFR) Program Director spoke with Global Airspace Radar about the programme. This represents the largest DFR programme in the United States, covering 37 square miles (or roughly 60 square kilometres).
