AirSight

AirSight operates as a provider of airspace security solutions, focusing on the detection and monitoring of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The company was founded by Robert Tabbara, who also serves as the CEO, and was established in 2003 with an initial focus on general security services before venturing into drone detection in July 2019 to address emerging client risks. This strategic pivot addresses the growing threat of unauthorized drone activity.

The company's core offering is the AirGuard software platform, which provides real-time drone detection and tracking. This system integrates data from various sensors to deliver a comprehensive security overview. AirGuard is designed to identify the real-time location of drones and their pilots, capture flight data for evidence, and help security teams develop response protocols. The platform employs a layered approach, utilizing radio frequency (RF) sensors, radar, and visual/thermal imaging to ensure robust detection capabilities under various conditions. This multi-sensor fusion allows for the classification of drone activity and helps distinguish between authorized and unauthorized aircraft. AirSight's business model is structured as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), providing a cloud-based solution that avoids complex on-site software installations.

AirSight serves a diverse client base across critical infrastructure sectors such as airports, prisons, stadiums, and energy facilities, including oil refineries and gas pipelines. The company also provides solutions for corporations, universities, law enforcement, and live events. Revenue is generated through the sale of its integrated hardware and software solutions. In September 2024, the company secured an undisclosed amount in a Seed funding round from Cypress Growth Capital to expand its channel, sales, marketing, and software development efforts.
