Farnborough International Airshow Selects Fortem Technologies to Ensure Airspace Monitoring and Safety

Fortem’s TrueView® R40 radar and other sensors will support real-time monitoring and post-flight review of aircraft operations during live demonstrations

LINDON, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fortem Technologies, the global leader in airspace security, today announced it has been selected to provide airspace monitoring and compliance support for the Farnborough International Airshow, one of the world’s premier aviation events.

Under the agreement, Fortem will deploy a suite of sensors – including four TrueView® R40 radars and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras – to monitor aircraft activity during flight demonstrations. The R40, Fortem’s most advanced radar system and the benchmark for high-performance airspace monitoring, is engineered to maintain a high-fidelity picture of airspace activity in dense, fast-moving environments.

Fortem will deliver the capability as a fully managed service, operating its systems on-site throughout the two-week event to provide continuous visibility into the airspace. By capturing detailed data on aircraft movements throughout the show, Fortem will allow event organizers to assess compliance with airspace safety guidelines and brief pilots on any violations following their flights.

“Farnborough brings together some of the most advanced aircraft and flight demonstrations in the world, all operating within a highly constrained airspace,” said Jon Gruen, CEO of Fortem Technologies. “Our role is to provide clear, continuous visibility into that airspace so organizers can ensure demonstrations are conducted safely and in accordance with defined parameters.”

The R40 is the latest addition to Fortem’s TrueView® family of radars, which underpin the company’s broader airspace-security solution. Engineered for low SWaP-C operation – small, low-power, and deployable at scale – TrueView® radars are designed to detect, track, and classify objects in complex, low-altitude airspace where conventional systems often struggle. Networked together, these sensors provide persistent, high-resolution visibility across the airspace.

This year’s deployment builds on Fortem’s prior work at Farnborough, which attracts thousands of attendees and features daily flight displays involving a wide range of aircraft. Maintaining strict adherence to flight envelopes and restricted zones is critical to ensuring the safety of participants and spectators alike.
