When our passive detection system identifies a drone and pilot, it publishes a JSON event (drone ID, coordinates, threat level) to the MQTT broker. The Dock 3 management application (FlightHub or a third party) is subscribed to this topic and launches the interceptor drone automatically.

Absolutely. The integration is built on the open MQTT protocol, so any ground station software that can read MQTT topics and control the DJI Dock 3 can be used. We provide full API documentation.

In practice, the delay is less than 3 seconds for detection + geolocation, plus 5-8 seconds for the Dock 3 startup sequence. The total time from the first RF detection until the interceptor is airborne is typically less than 12 seconds.

The system works with the DJI Dock 3 and all future Dock variants that support the MQTT interface. Note: it is not compatible with Dock 2 due to differences in communication protocols.

Yes. The management application displays the real-time video footage from the Matrice 4TD (or another compatible drone) alongside the detection map. Operators can toggle between thermal and visual imagery.

All MQTT traffic is encrypted via TLS 1.3, and clients are authenticated using client certificates or tokens. The system supports on-premise brokers for 'air-gapped' (isolated) networks.

Yes — the DJI Dock 3 is completely optional. The Globe Protect detection and jamming systems work perfectly as standalone units. You can start with individual sensors and add the Dock 3 integration license later if autonomous drone deployment is required.
