Operational Pillar

Operations

Persistent airspace awareness and field support. Operations is where managed counter-UAS services run day to day: continuous detection and monitoring, recurring intelligence, and the aerial field work that keeps a site’s picture of its own airspace current.

Six Capabilities

Managed counter-UAS services and the field work that supports them.

Managed C-UAS

Ongoing detection and monitoring of the airspace around a site, with reporting on what has been observed and how it compares to the baseline the site started from. It covers detection, monitoring, reporting and coordination, never mitigation.

Intelligence Briefings

Recurring reporting on UAS activity relevant to a site or sector, so decisions about coverage and procedure are made against current conditions rather than the assumptions made at the last assessment.

Inspections

Aerial inspection of structures, equipment and terrain where a close visual or sensor pass is more practical from the air than from the ground.

Surveys

Site and asset surveys that establish accurate as-built conditions, used as input to both the airspace picture and to engineering and planning work elsewhere in the organization.

Mapping

Aerial mapping deliverables built from survey data, produced to a consistent standard so they can be compared over time and shared across teams.

Aerial Data Processing

Processing of imagery and sensor data collected in the field into the formats a site’s own analysts and systems can use, rather than raw captures that require separate handling.

Where It Sits

Steps four and five of an engagement, and the ones that run longest.

STEP 01 · SURVEYDelivered by AssessmentsEstablish the site, surrounding airspace, and existing activity.

STEP 02 · ASSESSDelivered by AssessmentsIdentify threats, vulnerabilities, and gaps in coverage.

STEP 03 · EXERCISEDelivered by ResponseTest how your personnel and procedures handle an incident.

STEP 04 · IMPLEMENTDelivered by OperationsPut the selected technology and operating procedures into practice.

STEP 05 · SUSTAINDelivered by Training + OperationsMaintain readiness through training and ongoing operational support.

Entry is possible at any stage. An organization that has already assessed its site can enter directly at Implement.

Common questions

What does “managed” mean in managed C-UAS services?

It means the detection and monitoring function runs on an ongoing basis rather than as a single visit. The site gets recurring observation and reporting instead of a snapshot that ages the day it is delivered.

Do we need an assessment before Operations can start?

Not always. A prior DVRA or survey makes the implementation more precise because the baseline is already established, but a site with an immediate need can enter at Implement and have the assessment work run alongside it.

Can Operations replace equipment we already have installed?

Operations works with the technology a site already has where it fits the plan. ClearPoint holds no hardware line, so any recommendation to add or replace equipment is made on the merits of the site rather than a product relationship.

What is the difference between Inspections, Surveys and Mapping?

Inspections examine a specific structure or asset. Surveys establish accurate as-built conditions across a site. Mapping turns survey data into a standard deliverable that can be compared over time. Aerial Data Processing is the step that converts the raw captures from any of these into a usable format.

How often are Intelligence Briefings delivered?

Standard cadence is a monthly briefing, delivered more frequently when activity around the site increases. Format and frequency can be adjusted to match reporting the organization already has in place.
