The PL1-B is a portable drone detection system built for the security requirement that permanent installations cannot address temporary airspace protection at locations where the protected asset is present for hours or days rather than years. Major events. VIP movements. Temporary operational bases. Election facilities. Diplomatic summits. Field deployments where the protected perimeter exists for the duration of the operation and then dissolves.
Permanent counter-UAS installations require site survey, mounting infrastructure, power provision, and integration work measured in weeks. The PL1-B requires none of it. The system transports in cases, deploys at the location in minutes, operates for the duration of the protected activity, and recovers into transport configuration when the operation concludes.
Aerosmart supplies the PL1-B across African markets with deployment planning consultation, operator training, and regulatory guidance for the temporary electronic detection deployments that event and VIP security operations require.
Portability, detection capability, and deployment characteristics at a glance.
The PL1-B's design priority is deployment speed. Event security teams frequently receive their operational brief and site access with limited lead time before the protected activity begins. A counter-UAS capability that requires days of installation cannot participate in that operational reality.
The PL1-B arrives in transport cases, deploys at the designated position, powers on, and begins monitoring within minutes. No mounting infrastructure. No permanent power installation. No integration engineering. The security team that arrives at a venue on the morning of an event has airspace detection capability operational before the venue opens.
For African event security operations African Union summits in Addis Ababa, international conferences in Nairobi, national celebrations across the continent, and the sporting and entertainment events that draw large public gatherings the PL1-B provides the counter-UAS layer that these temporary protection requirements demand without the infrastructure investment that permanent installation implies.
The PL1-B detects drone communication activity within the monitored perimeter, classifies the detection, and alerts the operating security team in real time with audible and visual indication. Where the operational context supports it, the system provides drone position estimation and operator localisation directing the response team to the source rather than leaving them searching the perimeter.
For event security specifically, the operational value is often preventive rather than reactive. A detected drone approaching a venue perimeter during the pre-event period, before crowds arrive, allows the security team to locate and engage the operator before the protected activity begins resolving the incursion without disruption to the event itself.
Concerts, festivals, sporting events, and large public gatherings where the venue requires airspace protection for the event duration only.
Diplomatic and governmental events where the protected assembly is time-bound and the venue is not a permanently protected facility.
Protection details covering principal movements through locations that are not permanently secured installations.
Temporary operational bases, disaster response command posts, and deployed operations where the protected perimeter is established for the operation's duration.
Polling facilities, counting centres, and results announcement venues during election periods where airspace security is required for a defined window.
Temporary high-value asset protection during construction, installation, and commissioning phases.

Minutes. The system transports in cases, deploys at the designated position, powers on, and begins monitoring without mounting infrastructure, permanent power installation, or integration engineering.
Temporary airspace protection at events, summits, VIP movements, election facilities, field operations, and any location where the protected activity is time-bounded and permanent counter-UAS installation is impractical.
Yes. The system supports battery operation for locations without mains supply, alongside mains and generator power for extended deployments.
Where the operational context supports it, the PL1-B provides drone position estimation and operator localisation, directing the response team to the source of the incursion.
The PL1-B operates standalone or networked with other detection assets for extended perimeter coverage across larger protected areas.
Electronic detection equipment operates under telecommunications and national security regulatory frameworks that vary by country.
