Defense technology company Black Sage implemented its counter-UAS detection and identification system for illegal drone activity at NCAA football games in Boise, Idaho this past season.
A press release from Black Sage shows a photo of the system being used at Albertsons Stadium, the outdoor venue on the campus of Boise State University. Federal law prohibits the use of unmanned aerial vehicles within a three-mile radius of a sporting venue from one hour prior to an event until one hour after it. The Temporary Flight Restriction law applies to both professional and NCAA sporting events.
“Stadium operators and law enforcement have few options to enforce the restrictions and are now turning to Black Sage to provide layered Counter-UAS systems to fill the security gap,” according to Black Sage’s press release.
