Surveillance network tech is an airspace monitoring system, fuses multiple sensor types, tracks cooperative and non-cooperative aircraft, provides real-time airspace awareness, and supports counter-UAS operations.
A breakthrough MQ-9 Reaper flight with NUAIR’s surveillance network has signaled a new chapter in how the US monitors and secures its airspace.
The system delivers real-time airspace awareness by fusing multiple sensors, giving operators a unified view of everything flying nearby — from transponder-equipped aircraft to signal-dark drones.
By creating a shared operating picture for military units, the network enables instant data exchange during complex or high-risk airspace operations.
