Background

In order to deal with drone breaches and threats in their airspace, more and more companies are increasingly deploying anti-drone technology.

Challenge

CerbAir is extremely demanding when it comes to the suppliers and technology they use.

CerbAir was created to counter the alarming growth of intrusive drone flights. Convinced that airspace security is everyone’s concern, CerbAir proposes anti-drone solutions adapted for every kind of customer. CerbAir operates in civilian markets (VIP residences, industrial sites, key infrastructure) as well as military and homeland security (prisons, police operations, special forces, institutional VIP protection).

Finding a modular product line that can withstand the harshness of operational deployment, while supplying a standard software environment for development, has been challenging. CerbAir’s command and control unit must be able to adapt and withstand all conditions, and remain functional at all times. Missing an alert due to a malfunctioning unit can be critical.

Solution

The Getac S410, X500, and MX50 now allow the CERB team to operate in any situation; in a car, outdoors, in a control center, or from behind security gates.

Getac uses value-added resellers to address its market. In this case, CerbAir reached out to Logic Instrument to provide Getac’s products and solutions. The Getac S410 laptop, X500 laptop, and the MX50 tablet all integrate CerbAir software, which collects and analyses data from drone antennas and their remote frequencies. The software provides the geolocation of an intruding drone, as well as the position of its pilot. br<> The S410 enables fast deployment under light rain that was not possible with standard laptops, this is critical for response units as they can focus on the task at hand with the reassurance that the hardware will follow. Getac’s solutions also integrate our Lumibond® technology, which includes brightness and anti-reflection technology essential for CerbAir (and its clients) as their activities are hazardous and mostly take place outdoors.

Benefits

Getac’s products meet CerbAir’s clients’ needs for tolerances of diverse stress: hot and cold weather, vibrations and impact.

“The breadth of Getac’s catalog and its coherence allowed us to offer multiple options depending on customer needs and to ensure that we always meet their expectations at the best price possible. Getac’s wide range of accessories and connections allowed us to answer positively to customization requests from high-end customers with very specific needs,” says Charlie Pinedo, Head of Operations at CerbAir.
Getac also offers continued support for its devices with industry-leading three-year ‘Bumper to Bumper’ warranties covering all accidental damages as standard. CerbAir hasn’t made use of the warranty yet, but it reassures clients that if anything does go wrong, they can always rely on full customer support.
CerbAir is now equipped with a full and complete anti-drone solution covering all their daily needs. Using Getac’s rugged devices, CerbAir has enhanced its product portfolio with an end-to-end solution, opening new markets such as defense and military.
