NOBLE® serves as the U.S. commercial partner supporting the Miami Police Department's deployment of Airwayz’s Overwatch platform to secure airspace during FIFA World Cup events.
Airwayz is an airspace management company that provides digital infrastructure for drone operations, autonomous fleet management, and low-altitude urban airspace security. Headquartered in Israel, the company specializes in Dynamic Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) software for complex, real-time drone ecosystems.
As the U.S. distributor of Airwayz, NOBLE supports venue security by providing the Airwayz Overwatch Platform, additional training, and services for federal, state, and local customers.
Airspace Security & Partner Coordination
NOBLE serves as the commercial foundation for deploying Airwayz Overwatch's vendor-agnostic architecture, counter-drone, and sensor systems, creating a single operational picture for law enforcement.
The integrated network includes:
- NOBLE IQ™: This specialized training and services division of NOBLE supports deployment of the overall platform architecture.
- DefenSync Systems: Feeds radar and radio frequency (RF) detection data into the platform.
- Spherelink Tech: Provides compact, edge-AI acoustic sensors to detect unauthorized drone signatures.
This collaborative setup helps public safety personnel actively manage and defend the restricted airspace, sharply mitigating the high-priority threat posed by illegal drone activity around South Florida's World Cup venues.
Advanced Perimeter Defense: Innovative Solutions for Venue Security
NOBLE IQ secures venues through its operational lifecycle solutions, managing system evaluation, multi-sensor implementation, and tactical training for on-site personnel. NOBLE IQ connects Airwayz's Overwatch platform with the law enforcement officers patrolling the stadium perimeters.
- Multi-Sensor Integration: Orchestrates hardware onboarding for autonomous AI search drones, radar feeds, acoustic sensors, and RF signal interceptors into a single interface.
- Operator Instruction & Training: Conducts specialized, hands-on security and counter-drone instruction courses. This helps local officers and private security quickly interpret threat telemetry during high-stress scenarios.
- System Sustainment: Provides technical support, field maintenance, and system calibration throughout the tournament window to prevent security blind spots.
By combining NOBLE IQ's logistics and training with Airwayz’s airspace tracking, law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and local Police Departments, can secure a large perimeter around major venues. The unified system allows security to establish a detection perimeter, extending from half a mile to a mile beyond the stadium. Unauthorized recreational or malicious drones can be detected, tracked, and intercepted using RF blockers or physical deployment before they reach the crowd. Additionally, real-time aerial data serves as an "eye in the sky," linking to ground cameras equipped with facial and vehicle recognition technology. This integration provides the central command center with comprehensive situational awareness across the entire venue.
