Critical campus: perimeter video modernization with airspace awareness planning
A government-adjacent operator aligns visual monitoring and drone detection strategy under a single SOC narrative.

Summary: Stakeholders needed defensible evidence and coordinated escalation across ground and airspace concerns—without overpromising mitigation capabilities.
Sensitive facility with layered security requirements. Identifiers withheld. Engagement included security, operations, and legal review touchpoints.
Challenge
Ground sensors and cameras were aging into obsolescence while drone incursions appeared in risk registers with no unified playbook.
Procurement needed narratives that separated lawful detection and assessment from mitigation options that required authority involvement.
Approach
Phase one focused on perimeter video intelligence: zones, retention alignment, and audit-friendly exports.
Phase two framed counter-UAS as a layered strategy: coverage geometry, sensor mix options, and SOC evidence standards—explicitly mapped to jurisdictional constraints.
Outcome orientation
Deliverables emphasized operator runbooks and after-action templates so improvements compound rather than reset with staff turnover.
Outcomes
- Unified incident documentation format across video and airspace-related events
- Executive-ready briefing materials for phased investment decisions
- SOC runbooks with named escalation paths and evidence retention hooks
Technical highlights
- Segmented network architecture discussed with client IT/security
- Integration planning for existing ticketing and communication trees
- Roadmap slots reserved for sensor expansion after pilot acceptance
