We’re Stopping Drones, But Not Learning from Them

  • Drone threats are growing rapidly—across U.S. airspace, at the border, in combat zones, and near critical infrastructure.  

  • Current counter-UAS systems stop drones, but they don’t deliver intelligence.

  • Exploitation is slow, centralized, and lab-dependent. Devices are often shipped off-site, with results taking weeks or months—even when operations can’t wait. 

  • Unknown drone types and foreign-made UAS are increasingly common. Most units lack tools to exploit unfamiliar systems in the field.

Exploitation at the Edge

The DroneTrace Platform is built for operators on the edge - no labs, no delay. Our web-based platform enables users to extract actionable intelligence from captured drones immediately, without relying on labs or long exploitation times. 

UxS Exploitation Training and Consulting

We support a variety of clients with custom capabilities such as reverse-engineering captured UxS systems, custom exploitation capabilities, and UxS signature detection capabilities.

Custom UxS Exploitation Solutions

DroneTrace offers hands-on training and mission-aligned consulting to help units build or strengthen their unmanned systems (UxS) exploitation capability. Our team provides instruction on tactical recovery, on-site exploitation, intelligence extraction, and integration into F3EAD or investigative workflows.

About DroneTrace

DroneTrace was founded by veteran defense technology entrepreneurs with a mission to accelerate tactical intelligence on the modern battlefield.

Our leadership team previously built and exited a successful defense technology company focused on AI-driven Dark Web exploitation, serving elite units within the U.S. and allied national security communities. With deep expertise in national security, product development, and operational delivery, they have spent over a decade bringing cutting-edge solutions to some of the most complex and sensitive missions in defense and law enforcement.

DroneTrace builds on that foundation. We are focused on a new and urgent gap: real-time exploitation of captured unmanned systems (UxS). While most companies in the counter-UxS space focus on detection or defeat, we specialize in intelligence exploitation—delivering an AI-powered capability to rapidly extract actionable data from enemy drones in the field.

DroneTrace is a Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Small Business located near Charlottesville, VA.
