Real-time visibility of drones and aircraft
Prism is a flexible and easy-to-deploy air traffic monitoring system designed to provide real-time situational awareness of aircraft and drone activity. Whether for event organisers, high-security sites, large landowners, or airspace managers, Prism delivers an enhanced view of the sky, helping users identify authorised and unauthorised flights in their area.
Using a combination of carefully selected sensors, Prism tracks electronically conspicuous (EC) and, where supported, non-EC aircraft, including drones. With the ability to display data via Altitude Angel’s GuardianUTM platform, users gain instant insights into their airspace, improving safety, security, and operational efficiency.
Key features
-
Real-time air traffic monitoring – View active aircraft and drones operating in and around your location.
-
Comprehensive coverage – Detect EC and, where configured, non-EC aircraft for a complete airspace picture.
-
Drone operator identification – Locate drone operators where supported by the appropriate sensors.
-
User-friendly digital platform – Access airspace data via the intuitive GuardianUTM interface from any internet-connected computer.
-
Flexible deployment options – Choose from rapid auto-deploy trailer systems, semi-permanent mast systems, or permanent installations.
-
Secure & compliant – Developed by Altitude Angel, an ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certified company, ensuring data security and regulatory compliance.
Managing & monitoring drone operations
Prism sensors connect to Altitude Angel’s Unified Traffic Management (UTM) platform, GuardianUTM, which processes real-time data and fuses it into a single source of truth – an ultra-high-resolution, live map of the low altitude sky covering both drones and crewed aviation.
Users access this through Altitude Angel’s Operations Manager platform, a user-friendly interface showing the lower airspace situational awareness picture. Within GuardianUTM, users can set up defined ‘zones’ to manage and monitor activity. Using GuardianUTM Approval Services, zone administrators can digitally receive flight plans and permission drone operations, gaining clear visibility of approved or known flights and distinguishing authorised activity from those that may pose a security risk.
This is particularly valuable where drones support filming, security, emergency response, aerial surveys, or inspections.
Benefits
