About Department 13

Department 13 is an Australian company that makes drone detection and counter drone technology. Its head office is in Canberra. The company says its aim is to detect and reduce drone threats to people and infrastructure.

Its products include Scout, Atlas and Dart. Scout is a drone detection system that finds drones and their controllers without sending signals, and it covers all directions. It can be set up at a permanent or a temporary site. Atlas is a tool for operational awareness that shows real time locations and flight paths. It can run in the cloud or as an air-gapped system on site. Dart is a mobile counter drone system mounted on a platform. It detects radio signals and acts against drones without jamming and without force, and it works on the move or when parked.

The company serves defence, law enforcement, correctional facilities, critical infrastructure, sensitive sites and event management. It designs and makes its sensor systems in Canberra. It has also been building a drone detection network across major Australian cities. Customers can subscribe to a data feed from sensors near their areas of interest.

The about page says the company is 100 percent Australian owned and has more than 30 employees based in Australia. It works with a global network of industry partners. Its values are curiosity, quality, loyalty, collaboration, innovation and integrity. The website has a contact form where visitors can choose their industry. The office is at Burns Centre Building, Level 1, 28 National Circuit, Forrest, ACT, and the phone number is 1300 376 631.
