Drone Detection / Counter-UAS Technical Advisor for MVP Feasibility Review

I’m working on an early-stage startup concept in the counter-drone / critical infrastructure security space. The product is not drone jamming, takedown, spoofing, or mitigation. The concept is a civilian-compliant drone incident management platform that helps data centers, utilities, ports, stadiums, prisons, refineries, airports, and industrial campuses detect, document, and respond to unauthorized drone activity. I’m looking for a technical advisor with experience in one or more of the following areas: Counter-UAS / drone detection RF sensing or passive RF detection Radar systems Sensor fusion Computer vision / object detection Security camera systems Physical security technology Aerospace / unmanned systems Remote ID / drone telemetry Critical infrastructure security systems The goal is not to have you build the full product right now. I’m looking for a technical expert who can review the concept, help shape the MVP, identify technical risks, and advise on what would make the product credible to customers, investors, and pilot partners. The product vision is a software/workflow layer that connects to existing cameras, sensors, employee reports, Remote ID feeds where available, and security operations tools. The platform would help security teams determine whether a drone incident is real, assess risk, preserve evidence, create an incident timeline, and coordinate response. I’d like help answering questions such as: What sensor inputs should the MVP support first? What technical claims should we avoid making early? What is feasible for a software-first prototype? How should we think about false positives: birds, aircraft, weather, reflections, etc.? What would make a pilot technically credible? What metrics should we measure during field testing? What existing hardware or sensor vendors could we integrate with instead of building hardware ourselves? What architecture would make sense for an edge gateway + cloud dashboard model? What technical risks would investors or customers challenge us on? What technical talent would we eventually need to hire? Deliverables I’m looking for: 1–2 advisory calls Technical feasibility review MVP recommendations Sensor/integration recommendations List of technical risks and assumptions Suggested pilot metrics Recommended technical hiring profile Optional written summary after the call Please let me know: Your relevant background in drones, C-UAS, RF, radar, computer vision, sensor fusion, or security systems Whether you have experience with commercial, defense, or critical infrastructure customers Your availability for an initial advisory call Your hourly rate or fixed price for a concept review What information you would need from me before the call I’m looking for someone who can be direct, practical, and honest. I do not need hype. I need someone who can tell me what is technically realistic, what is risky, and what the first credible version of this product should look like.
