Ericsson uses mobile networks to detect and track drones

Ericsson has developed a new technology that allows existing mobile networks to detect and track drones. This system, called ISAC (Intelligent Secure Access Control), leverages the infrastructure of mobile networks to identify and monitor low-flying small drones without requiring specialized radar or dedicated sensors. The technology aims to enhance security by providing drone detection capabilities through widely deployed cellular infrastructure. AI

IMPACT This technology could enhance security and surveillance capabilities by integrating drone detection into existing communication infrastructure.

RANK_REASON The item describes a new product/technology from a company that is not a frontier AI lab.
