The Palm Springs Police Department (PSPD) has taken a significant step forward in public safety innovation by expanding its Drone as First Responder (DFR) program. This enhancement establishes the largest radar-enabled municipal drone coverage area in the United States, spanning 37 square miles and eliminating the need for human visual observers during operations.

The Department of Homeland Security has selected technology for advanced air detection to support automatic flying vehicles. The DHS innovation hub HSWERX agreed to use MatrixSpace Radar onboard sensors to help identify small uncrewed aircraft systems or drones. The technology is intended to be used for different mission environments, including use by the DHS Customs and Border Protection Agency.

HSWERX, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) innovation hub, selected MatrixSpace Radar to provide advanced air detection to support uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations. The technology has potential applications across a variety of mission environments, including the DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.

The US Department of Homeland Security’s innovation hub (HSWERX) has selected MatrixSpace Radar to provide advanced air detection in support of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, the company announced on 25 March 2025. The technology has potential applications across a variety of mission environments, including the DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.

HSWERX, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) innovation hub, has selected MatrixSpace Radar to enhance air detection capabilities for UAS operations. The radar technology is intended to support missions for DHS agencies, including Customs and Border Protection (CBP), by providing advanced detection and tracking capabilities in complex environments.

The US Department of Homeland Security has adopted a new compact radar system to improve drone-based surveillance operations, particularly in remote border regions. The technology, developed by Massachusetts-based MatrixSpace, will help uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) detect and avoid obstacles when flying beyond the pilot’s direct line of sight, a key requirement for safe drone operations. The project is led by the Department for Homeland Security’s Innovation Hub, HSWERX, which aims to support agencies like Customs and Border Protection in monitoring large, often isolated areas where traditional surveillance methods are impractical.
