The Latest Updates, Perspectives and Stories From MatrixSpace
Drone Detection: The Growing Drone Threat to Prisons
In the ever-evolving landscape of prison security, the advent of drone technology has introduced new challenges.
Protecting Air Corridors at Regional Airports
While there’s a lot of attention given to drone detection and counter drone solutions, we also hear from customers about the need for higher levels of ground and air surveillance in the general aviation space.
A Nervous System for Sensors
In the past twenty years, we’ve seen amazing advances in sensors of many varieties.
Surveillance SDSP – A New Standard for Low Altitude Air Traffic Detections
In the UTM ecosystem, SDSPs (supplemental data service providers) are vital in supplying UAS operators with essential and non-essential data
The Primer on Surveillance vs. Declaration vs. Operational Volume, for Advanced Drone Operations
There’s a common misconception in the UAS industry when talking about surveillance and operational volumes for UAS operations.
Ground-Based Surveillance Systems (GBSS) for BVLOS DFR Operations
A limitation in UAS operations for DFRs (Drone as First Responder) programs is the requirement for visual line-of-sight (VLOS) of the Remote Pilot in Command (RPIC).

The Transformation of Drone First Responder: DFR 2.0
The future of DFR seeks to eliminate the need for rooftop personnel, or VOs, entirely, simplifying the process into a single-person teleoperation and enabling true BVLOS operations.
Meet “Radar” – the MatrixSpace Mascot
We created a mascot based on a MatrixSpacer’s beloved family dog – who loves to be part of everything we do and talk about around the MatrixSpace office.
Beyond the Bounds of IoT – Sensing and Interpreting with Edge Computing
Classifying MatrixSpace Radar system as solely part of the IoT would be a limiting perspective.
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).
