About Airspace Assurance
Airspace Assurance provides analysis and advisory work on counter-drone detection, regulatory compliance, procurement and funding. This work is aimed at venues, airports, correctional facilities, utilities, industrial sites and the public agencies that work alongside them. Airspace Assurance is a service of Vascoh LLC.
Counter-drone systems divide into two groups that are governed differently. Detection identifies and tracks an aircraft without interfering with it, and private operators can generally deploy it. Mitigation acts on the aircraft, and under current federal rules it is limited to authorised federal agencies and, since 1 July 2026, to eligible state, local, tribal and territorial agencies that hold the relevant certification. Much of our work involves establishing which measures an organisation can actually use and what the applicable requirements are.
What we do
Airspace Assurance provides research, advisory and procurement support for counter-UAS programmes. Our published research demonstrates the analysis we produce, including regulatory, technical and operational assessments.
Our work covers detection, mitigation, airspace risk, procurement, site assessment and programme design.
How we are paid
By the organisation we advise. We do not resell equipment, hold a product line, or take commission or referral fees from suppliers.
In counter-drone procurement the deepest technical knowledge usually sits with the companies selling the systems, and the rules on what an agency may acquire are set in federal lists rather than in product literature. Our role is to define the requirement and evaluate responses against it.
