It is with mixed emotions that we celebrated Jim’s retirement this month we are really going to miss him! Jim retired from his role as Senior RF Test Technician after over 23 years of service at TCI. During his tenure, he was instrumental in testing a wide array of RF modules (downconverters, synthesizers, RF Switches, amplifiers etc.) and TCI antenna components such as Antenna Controllers and Bal-uns. Jim was dedicated to improving quality and process by building test-fixtures to streamline testing and by using his in-depth troubleshooting skills to identify root-causes of failure etc. We wish Jim all the best in his retirement!

PROTECTING THE PERIMETER TCI’s drone protection solutions deliver fully automated detection of drones and controllers. First, the user scans the RF spectrum drones and controllers. When detected, targets are pinpointed using DF First technology to provide accurate Angle of Arrival (AOA) direction finding and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) geolocation..... Packaged in a compact hybrid design, TCI systems are available for use in transportable, fixed and fully-mobile configurations - offering maximum mission flexibility. Also the user can choose to operate the system interactively or automatically. Our systems are being used by several government agencies to protect critical assets and major event venues. With unmatched experience in RF monitoring, detection and tracking, TCI's Drone Detection solutions provide reliable performance across all environments.

The anti-drone market is growing significantly, expecting to reach over $1.8 billion by 2024. The increasing threats of aerial attacks have opened up substantial new market opportunities for counter-UAV measures. TCI International have developed a series of highly accurate detection & tracking systems that scans the RF spectrum looking for drones and radio controllers. When a drone or controller is detected, the system geolocates the target and provides a notification enabling disruption.#tciinternational https://www.unmannedairspace.info//counter-uas-market-wor/

Drone Incidents with Aircraft around One per Week Despite their small size, hobbyist drones that intrude into no-fly zones pose a serious risk to pilots, a collision between a airliner and a drone has the potential to cause catastrophic damage. FAA research has found that a collision with a dronewould be worse than a bird strike. Additionally flight operations are affected. When a drone is detected in the no-fly zone around an airport, traffic must be diverted causing expen...sive delays & huge loss of revenue. Dubai airport’s loss of revenue is as much as $100,000 per minute due to drone closures. Drones have already brought down helicopters and light aircraft, causing injury. Its only a matter of time before a catastrophic incident could occur. The time to deploy drone detection, tracking and disruption solutions is now. #tciinternational #airports The below is a list of recent significant drone incursions: Europe: Gatwick Airport - runway closure July 2017 Heathrow Airport narrow miss on takeoff April 2018 North America Quebec Airport drone hits passenger plane October 2017 San Francisco Airport August 2017 JFK Airport - Blackhawk Phantom Collision December 2017 Charleston Airport - Drone brings down Helicopter February 2018 Newark Airport drone endangers United Airlines flight landing August 2017 Middle East Dubai Airport drone shuts down airport & diverts flights October 2016 Ben Gurion Airport Shutdown January 2018 Asia Auckland Airport near miss with airliner March 2018 Sydney Airport approach path incursion March 2017 Thames Airport drone brings down Foxbat airplane March 2018 Chengdu Airport several drone incursions May 2017 Africa Mozambique Airport drone crashed head on into Boeing 737 January 2017 The need for a No-Drone Zone around Airports is now.

Drone incursions over military installations are an "increasing problem, and it's only a matter time before the threat manifests in a -- in a violent way," Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis. We anticipate some changes in the authority/rules of engagement of agencies to deal effectively with the threat of drone incursions, particularly around critical national infrastructure.
