Portland, Oregon – As Oregon’s emergency response landscape adapts to the passage of House Bill 3426 (HB 3426), Aerial Defense Systems (ADS) has unveiled a timely and powerful solution for public safety professionals: the ADS DroneTracker Trademark – a compact, real-time drone and pilot detection device designed to help agencies stay compliant, proactive, and protected.
With the rise in unauthorized drone interference over wildfires and emergency operations, HB 3426 establishes strict felony penalties for drone operators who interfere with firefighting, law enforcement, and search-and-rescue missions. In response, ADS has introduced a purpose-built tool that enables emergency managers, fire marshals, and public safety officials to detect airborne threats, identify pilot locations, and maintain full awareness of unauthorized drone activity in restricted zones.
“Emergency response teams are under more pressure than ever to manage airspace safety,” said Jeff Meining, founder of Aerial Defense Systems. “The ADS DroneTracker Trademark gives them real-time situational awareness without the high costs or complexity of traditional systems.”
Meeting the Mandate of Oregon HB 3426
HB 3426 comes in direct response to real-world threats. During the 2024 wildfire season, the National Interagency Fire Center reported 21 drone incursions over active fires, forcing aircraft to ground in 10 of those incidents. The new law establishes a Class C felony for intentional drone interference and expands the state’s definition of protected airspace.
This creates both a regulatory burden and a call to action for emergency response agencies. The ADS DroneTracker Trademark provides an accessible, field-deployable solution that empowers teams to monitor, assess, and document drone activity in real time – helping support enforcement of HB 3426 while improving operational safety.
Key Features of the ADS DroneTracker Trademark :
* Detects All Broadcast Remote ID Signals: Including drones from DJI, Autel, Parrot, and more.
* Pinpoints Drone & Pilot Locations: Instant situational intel via secure mobile app.
* No Setup, No Wi-Fi Required: Fully portable with LTE, USB-C, and Bluetooth options.
* Alert System: On-device visual, audible, and mobile alerts.
* Field-Proven Design: Lightweight and rugged, built for deployment in wildfire zones, events, and tactical operations.
Affordable Drone Detection for Emergency Managers
Unlike traditional counter-UAS systems costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring installation, the ADS DroneTracker Trademark is engineered for affordability and simplicity. It puts airspace awareness in the hands of emergency personnel without draining budgets.
“Our goal was to create a tool that’s as effective in the field as it is affordable,” ADS added. “We knew emergency managers and fire response teams needed something they could trust and actually use without needing IT or training specialists.”
With agencies now facing the legal obligations under HB 3426, ADS DroneTracker Trademark offers a scalable entry point for:
* Local Fire Departments
* Incident Command Teams
* Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs)
* Police Departments
* Event Security Coordinators
Free Field Trials & Airspace Awareness Starter Kit

Positioned for Compliance, Preparedness, and Safety
HB 3426 may mark Oregon’s most aggressive drone enforcement legislation to date, but experts predict similar bills in wildfire-prone states like California, Washington, and Arizona. As federal drone detection guidelines evolve, public safety professionals need tools that help them enforce local laws, protect responders, and keep airspace clear during critical operations.
The ADS DroneTracker Trademark delivers all three.
For fire departments, law enforcement agencies, emergency planners, and public event managers, ADS now offers a scalable solution that directly aligns with Oregon’s legal mandates and operational realities.
