AeroDefense
The AeroDefense feed type in ArcGIS Velocity connects to the AeroDefense drone-detection API over a WebSocket Secure (WSS) connection to receive drone data for real-time monitoring and analysis.
Examples
The following are example use cases for the feed:
A GIS analyst uses the AeroDefense feed to monitor real-time drone activity near airport runways and approach paths using the detection location, altitude, and speed fields.
An emergency management coordinator uses the AeroDefense feed to track drone activity during a large public event alongside other real-time data sources.
A security operations analyst uses the AeroDefense feed to alert staff when an unauthorized drone is detected near a facility.
Usage notes
Note the following when working with the feed:
A valid API key is required to establish the WebSocket Secure (WSS) connection. Contact AeroDefense to obtain an API key for your account.
The AeroDefense feed receives drone events for all alert zones configured in the associated AirWarden Essentials account.
The AeroDefense data is in JSON format.
This feed receives data directly from the AeroDefense API over a WebSocket Secure (WSS) connection. Unlike an HTTP-based feed, it does not poll on a recurring schedule.
The AeroDefense feed uses a fixed schema. The feed automatically sets the location, date and time, and track ID.
