Stadium Counter-Drone Security Operations by Shenzhen Polaris Security Technology Ltd.

Stadiums hosting large-scale sporting and entertainment events are uniquely vulnerable to unauthorized drone activity. Unlike urban environments with tall buildings and natural barriers, stadium airspace is typically wide open, offering little physical obstruction to UAV intrusion. Traditional perimeter fencing and on-ground security cannot prevent aerial threats, making electronic detection and countermeasure systems the only effective solution.

Shenzhen Polaris Security Technology Ltd. was commissioned to secure a major sports venue using its advanced counter-drone technology and field-proven operational protocols. The mission followed a three-phase approach:

Step 1: Early UAV Detection
Multi-spectrum RF detection units were deployed across the stadium perimeter to provide 360° coverage. These systems continuously scanned the 70 MHz–6 GHz frequency band, detecting drones as soon as they entered within a 10 km radius. This ensured that potential threats were identified before approaching the stadium’s no-fly zone.

Step 2: Identification and Ground Interception
Once a UAV was detected, Polaris’s system extracted the drone’s serial number (SN) and established a signal trace, allowing precise localization of both the drone and its operator. Security personnel were then dispatched to intercept the operator on the ground, ensuring the threat was neutralized at its source.

Step 3: Remote Engagement for Persistent Drones
For drones operating at longer distances or beyond immediate reach, Polaris deployed its directional countermeasure systems. These long-range devices jammed the UAV’s control and navigation frequencies, severing the link between drone and pilot. The drone was forced into an emergency landing or return-to-home mode, effectively removing the threat from the airspace.

Outcome
Through this layered strategy—comprehensive detection, targeted interception, and long-range neutralization—Shenzhen Polaris Security Technology Ltd. ensured uninterrupted stadium operations and audience safety. This case highlights the necessity of specialized electronic counter-drone solutions in open-air venues, where conventional security measures cannot address aerial threats.
