What Happened

New Cloud-Based Forensics Capability Bridges Gap in Counter-Drone Security

SkySafe, a San Diego-based developer of drone-detection and airspace-intelligence technologies, is launching a new cloud-based forensics service to help law enforcement agencies link drones to specific operators and build cases that hold up in court. The service, formally launching on November 13, 2025, extracts flight logs, decrypts logs, and provides attribution data, while ensuring chain-of-custody requirements and admissible evidence in court. The company’s existing analytics platform focuses on real-time and historical airspace patterns, and the new forensic layer aims to show who flew the drone and when. SkySafe will provide the new capability through an annual subscription, including training and certification for up to four personnel per year. The service is aimed at solving one of the biggest challenges in counter-drone security: linking a recovered drone to specific activity in the airspace with an evidence chain prosecutors can trust. The company was first reported by AeroTime.
