A falling drone
A loss of control above spectators can lead to injuries and property damage. Security staff need timely information to assess the situation and follow the event’s response procedures.
Stadiums & events
One unexpected flight. Thousands of people below.
A drone above a crowd can create a safety issue and interrupt an event. DroneLook gives security teams a view of detected aircraft, helps them recognize approved operations, and preserves flight records for review.
Why it matters
Keep the crowd and the operation in view.
Event teams need to assess an unfamiliar flight while their own filming, production, and public-safety operations may already be underway.
Event disruption
An unexpected flight can draw attention away from the event and trigger a safety assessment. Knowing where the detected aircraft traveled helps staff understand the incident.
Conflicting operations
Broadcast crews, contractors, and public-safety teams may have legitimate flights planned. An unfamiliar aircraft creates another issue for those teams to investigate and coordinate around.
Documented incident
Baltimore, Maryland · January 28, 2024
A drone temporarily stopped the AFC Championship.
An unlawful drone flight during the Ravens–Chiefs AFC Championship caused the game to be temporarily suspended. The operator later pleaded guilty to violating national defense airspace, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Inspector General.
An unexpected flight can become an event-wide decision. Security teams need a way to review detected aircraft and coordinate with the people managing the venue.

Give event teams a shared starting point.
Bring Remote ID detections into Command so security staff can review the same aircraft information and coordinate their next steps.
Monitor the areas that matter
Set monitoring areas for your venue and send alerts to the team responsible for the event response.
Recognize approved operations
Classify known broadcast, vendor, and public-safety aircraft. Use the map alongside your event’s flight plan to investigate unfamiliar activity.
Preserve the flight record
Review recorded routes and timestamps after an incident. Export reports to support internal review and discussions with the relevant authorities.
Your locations
Built around your event footprint.
Stadiums & arenas
Monitor detected activity around the venue and the outdoor areas used by arriving and departing spectators.
Festivals & outdoor events
Plan detection around your event layout and the teams responsible for each area.
Broadcast & public-safety operations
Give staff a way to recognize known aircraft while reviewing unexpected detections.

A few practical
questions.
Can we identify our filming and public-safety drones?
Your team can classify known aircraft as Trusted or Vendor. Those colors appear on the map so staff can recognize them while checking current operations.
What can we review after an incident?
Command keeps recorded flight history with routes, timestamps, and reported flight details. Flight and site reports give your team a record for follow-up.
Can this fit a temporary event?
We can discuss the event layout, available power and connectivity, and monitoring needs. Deployment planning depends on the site and operating requirements.
