SkyCope Drone Detection on 2M Solar Trailers
Why SkyCope on a 2M Trailer
- Fully passive RF detection — the system emits no signals, which keeps deployment lawful for commercial facilities and invisible to drone operators
- 360° monitoring with the most extensive drone-signature library in the industry (manufacturer-stated coverage of 450+ drone models)
- Drone and operator localization — detection events can identify drone make/model and locate the control station, letting security respond to the pilot
- Manufacturer-stated detection ranges up to 35 kilometers under ideal conditions; we engineer realistic coverage expectations for your actual site and RF environment
- Open architecture / API — integration into existing video management and command-and-control environments
- Low power draw — fits the 2M solar platform’s 400W-class array and 200–400Ah battery options with 3–5 day no-sun autonomy
What 2M Adds as the Integrator
| Layer | 2M Scope |
|---|---|
| Platform | Galvanized solar trailer, weatherproof equipment enclosure, 18 ft (5.5 m) telescoping mast (taller options available) |
| Power Engineering | Solar + battery sizing for the sensor payload and duty cycle, validated against Texas field conditions |
| Sensor Integration | Mast mounting, antenna orientation, cabling, surge and environmental protection |
| Connectivity | LTE backhaul (satellite optional) into your monitoring environment |
| Optional Payloads | PTZ / thermal cameras with slew-to-cue, strobes, speakers — the same options as our surveillance trailers |
| Support | Deployment, commissioning, and service from Grand Prairie, TX — nationwide delivery |
Deployment Profile
Tow the trailer to site, level it, raise the mast, and the system is monitoring the surrounding airspace the same day — no trenching, no utility power, no permanent installation. When the requirement moves (an event ends, a project phase closes, a facility’s risk profile changes), the capability moves with it. For detection-only legality and what your team may do with detection data, see our counter-drone law guide; for how passive RF compares with radar and optical sensing, see the technology comparison.
Typical Deployments
SkyCope-equipped 2M trailers fit the same missions as the rest of our trailer fleet, with the airspace layer added.
- Critical Infrastructure — A trailer at a substation, water facility, or plant perimeter, feeding detection events to the operations center alongside existing camera feeds
- Events and Venues — Temporary airspace awareness for game days, festivals, and VIP movements — deployed for the event window, then recovered
- Corrections Facilities — Perimeter airspace monitoring where drone contraband delivery is the operational threat, with operator-location data that gives response teams something actionable
In each case the detection feed integrates with the monitoring arrangement the facility already has — the trailer adds a sensor, not a new command structure.
Because the platform is shared with our production surveillance trailers, every option in that catalog applies here: PTZ and thermal cameras with slew-to-cue pointing at detected tracks, strobes and speakers for on-site deterrence, and LTE or satellite backhaul depending on site coverage. The result is one trailer that answers both questions a perimeter team asks — what is happening on the ground, and what is happening above it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an off-the-shelf product or a custom build?
Both. The platform, mast, and power architecture are standardized from our production surveillance trailers; the sensor configuration, mast height, camera payload, and connectivity are engineered per deployment.
Does the SkyCope system transmit anything?
No — it is a passive receiver. The trailer’s only transmissions are its own cellular backhaul.
Can it feed our existing VMS or command center?
SkyCope publishes APIs for third-party integration, and integration engineering is 2M’s core work. Bring your environment’s details to the design conversation.
What is the lead time?
Configuration dependent — trailers are built at our Grand Prairie facility and SkyCope-equipped units are in production now. Request a quote for current scheduling.
Can you integrate a different detection vendor instead?
Yes — the platform is vendor-open. See the drone detection trailer hub for the integration options we support.
