Investigating a rogue drone isn’t always straightforward. Law enforcement may detect an unauthorized aircraft near a prison, airport, or stadium, but identifying who flew it and proving what happened can require piecing together evidence from multiple systems. Cellebrite wants to change that.
The digital forensics company has expanded its exclusive partnership with drone detection specialist SkySafe, bringing real-time drone detection and airspace intelligence into its growing drone investigation platform. The move is designed to help investigators connect what happens in the sky with the digital evidence stored on the drone itself, creating a more complete picture of an incident.
The announcement also builds on a strategy Cellebrite began earlier this year. In March, the company entered the drone forensics market by acquiring SCG Canada, whose forensic technology allows investigators to extract flight logs, GPS data, photos, videos, and other evidence from more than 80 popular drone models. At the time, Cellebrite made it clear it wanted to expand beyond smartphones and computers into drone investigations. This latest partnership is the next step in that plan.
