The Latest Updates, Perspectives and Stories From MatrixSpace
Drone Data Under the SAFER SKIES Rule: An Industry View on Privacy and Compliance
The rule gives SLTT agencies real counter-UAS authority for the first time. It also places data squarely at the center of that authority. For technology providers building the systems agencies will actually use, that data architecture is where compliance either works in practice or breaks down.
Observations from Project Flytrap 5.0
MatrixSpace demonstrated portable, resilient counter-drone capabilities at the U.S. Army’s Flytrap 5.0 exercise, integrating mobile radar and AI systems with Anduril’s battle command network. The deployment validated effective small-drone detection, operation in contested environments, rapid dismounted deployment, and interoperability through open architectures for modern battlefield airspace awareness.
Threat Truth or Dare: Layered Detection for Modern C-UAS
Rising drone threats are driving organizations to adopt systems that detect, track, and identify them. Effective defense requires layered, multi-sensor approaches, with radar as the backbone for real-time threat assessment.
2 Major Military Competition Wins and Transforming Defense Technology
We're proud to have won both the DIU C-UAS Low-Cost Sensing challenge and the Army xTechCounter Strike competition. Innovation like ours is needed to modernize national security capabilities.
Introducing MatrixSpace Portable 360 Radar™: Rapid, Resilient Counter-Drone Detection Anywhere
Protecting airspace security for temporary operations—whether stadium events, public gatherings, expeditionary maneuvers, or sensitive activities in/near secure sites—has never been more urgent. Drone threats are increasing, and traditional radar systems simply aren’t built for the speed and flexibility these scenarios demand.
Open by Design: How Our Software Platform Enables Customer Ecosystems
Everything we build at MatrixSpace is designed for easy integration and extensibility. It allows us precise control our radar systems with precision, embed them with deep technology features, visualize data for users and orchestrate sensor interconnection. It also allows us to quickly integrate our systems with a broad ecosystem of other applications through open APIs.
The DIU C-UAS LCS Challenge: Winning the Drone War with Innovation
MatrixSpace was selected as one of 10 finalists for the DIU's Low-Cost Sensing challenge for counter drone detection, addressing the lack of affordable scalability in traditional defense sensor systems.
DroneSense & MatrixSpace: Situational Awareness to Unlock Critical Response
DroneSense customers can now seamlessly conduct remote operations with comprehensive airspace awareness in a common operating picture with the inclusion of MatrixSpace radar detection intelligence.
Radar, Aviation Radionavigation vs. Radiolocation—Why Your Use Case Matters
The usage of radar for guiding vehicles and protecting people/places is strictly regulated for safety and to ensure reliability across radio spectrums. Your use case dictates how to comply with rules for radionavigation and radiolocation.

Army, Industry Hack Away at Linking Traditionally Stovepiped Systems
Beginning in May, hundreds of Army technical experts, operational personnel and defense industry representatives gathered at Fort Carson, Colorado, to take part in a month-long hackathon dubbed Operation Jailbreak. The goal of the event was to enable combat systems that have traditionally been disconnected to share data in real time.

Matt Kling joins SIA subcommittee on drone security
MatrixSpace’s Matt Kling has joined the Security Industry Association’s (SIA) Drone Security Subcommittee. SIA is a trade association for global security solution providers with over 1,700 member companies. The Subcommittee educates the security industry on counter-ucrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) legalities, technologies, training and options to mitigate UAS attacks. The Subcommittee supported the SAFER SKIES Act, approved by the United States Congress in December 2025, and executive branch recommendations such as the Domestic C-UAS National Action Plan and the executive order on Restoring American Airspace Sovereignty.
