GALE Project Technologies Successfully Tests “Pinger” Micro Drone Detector with Law Enforcement and Federal Observers

Gale Project Technologies, Inc. has successfully completed live field testing of its ultra-compact drone detection device, Pinger, in collaboration with the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD), with participation from federal-level observers.

This milestone represents a major step forward in validating low-cost, scalable drone detection technology for public safety, infrastructure protection, and defense applications.

What is Pinger?

Pinger is a compact, cost-effective Remote ID drone detection device designed to identify, track, and log unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in real time.

Unlike traditional counter-UAS systems that rely on expensive radar, RF triangulation, or complex multi-sensor architectures, Pinger leverages the emerging Remote ID ecosystem to deliver:

• Real-time drone identification
• Flight telemetry capture
• Persistent drone data logging
• Lightweight, rapid deployment

All at a fraction of the cost of legacy drone detection systems. $249

Live Testing with SAPD and Federal Observers During controlled field operations with SAPD:

• Multiple drone flights were conducted in real-world conditions
• Pinger successfully detected and logged Remote ID signals
• System performance was validated for accuracy, consistency, and operational usability

Federal observers were present during testing, providing insight into real-world deployment potential across public safety and government use cases.

Key Results Testing demonstrated that Pinger can:

• Detect Remote ID-enabled drones in real time
• Capture and store drone identification data reliably
• Operate effectively in active law enforcement environments
• Deploy quickly with minimal setup requirements

Most importantly, the testing confirmed that effective drone detection does not require high-cost infrastructure.

Toward the Most Affordable Drone Detector on the Market

GALE’s objective with Pinger is to make drone detection accessible at scale.

By focusing on compact hardware, Remote ID-based detection, and simplified deployment, Pinger is positioned to become one of the most affordable drone detection solutions available.

This enables deployment across a wide range of users, including:

• Law enforcement agencies
• Municipalities
• Schools and campuses
• Critical infrastructure operators
• Private security organizations
• Mass Drone Data Collection and Network Effects

In addition to detection, Pinger enables scalable drone activity data collection.

Each deployed unit contributes to:

• Local drone traffic awareness
• Historical flight pattern analysis
• Situational intelligence

At scale, this creates a distributed network of drone activity data, supporting applications in:

• Public safety operations
• Airspace awareness and compliance
• Smart city infrastructure
• Defense and homeland security
• Strategic Integration with the GALE Platform

Pinger is designed to operate as both a standalone solution and as part of the broader GALE system.

The GALE platform integrates:

• Remote monitoring
• Sensor fusion
• Edge AI processing
• Autonomous drone deployment

This allows Pinger to serve as a foundational layer for scalable drone detection and airspace awareness within a larger intelligent infrastructure network.

What’s Next Following successful validation, GALE is advancing:

• Additional field deployments
• Expanded pilot programs with public safety and infrastructure partners
• Continued integration into the GALE system platform

The company is actively engaging with government, law enforcement, infrastructure stakeholders, and investors aligned with dual-use technology.

Summary This field test marks a critical milestone in the evolution of drone detection technology.

Pinger demonstrates that drone detection can be:

• Affordable
• Scalable
• Deployable in real-world environments

GALE is positioning Pinger as a key solution in the transition from specialized counter-UAS systems to widely deployed airspace awareness infrastructure.

Milestone Announcement: GALE System Patent Granted\r\n\r\nGale Project Technologies has reached a major milestone with the U.S. Patent Office issuing a Notice of Allowance for the company’s core platform patent, titled “Remote Modular Data Collection and UAS Docking System and Method.”\r\n\r\nThe patented GALE System transforms existing infrastructure—such as utility poles, buildings, and critical facilities—into autonomous monitoring and rapid-response platforms capable of collecting real-time data and deploying drones directly from the structure itself. By integrating edge AI, multi-sensor fusion, and autonomous drone docking technology, GALE enables persistent monitoring and on-demand aerial response within seconds of an incident.\r\n\r\nThis innovation addresses several major global challenges.\r\n\r\nAcross cities, campuses, utilities, and critical infrastructure, situational awareness and rapid response remain limited by human dispatch times and fragmented monitoring systems. Traditional security cameras provide only passive observation, while drone response often requires a pilot to travel to the site and launch manually—losing valuable time during emergencies.\r\n\r\nThe GALE System solves this by creating always-ready autonomous response nodes that can detect events, analyze conditions locally using edge AI, and deploy drones instantly to gather live aerial intelligence. This capability dramatically improves response times for incidents such as:\r\n\r\n• Public safety emergencies\r\n• Disaster response and search operations\r\n• Critical infrastructure monitoring\r\n• School and campus security\r\n• Utility and grid inspection\r\n• Environmental, agriculture and disaster monitoring\r\n\r\nBecause GALE can be installed on existing infrastructure, the system is designed to scale rapidly and cost-effectively across cities, campuses, and large property networks.\r\n\r\nThe market opportunity for this technology is significant. The global markets for public safety technology, drone infrastructure, smart city systems, and critical infrastructure monitoring collectively represent a total addressable market exceeding $100B+ over the next decade. With increasing demand for autonomous monitoring, drone-as-first-responder programs, and AI-enabled situational awareness, GALE is positioned at the intersection of several rapidly expanding sectors.\r\n\r\nThe patent strengthens Gale Project Technologies’ defensible intellectual property position around autonomous drone docking, infrastructure-based deployment, and integrated sensor monitoring platforms.\r\n\r\nFollowing this milestone, Gale Project Technologies is opening its Seed funding round to accelerate product deployment, strategic partnerships, and manufacturing readiness as the company moves toward bringing the GALE platform to municipalities, security organizations, and critical infrastructure operators.
