Safety Policy

CounterSwarm is a software platform for critical-infrastructure operators, defense consultants, and public-sector programs to:

• Assess their current defensive posture against drone threats through site modeling and scenario simulation
• Identify coverage gaps, sensor blind spots, and response plan weaknesses before an incident occurs
• Coordinate structured incident response workflows, evidence capture, and SOP execution
• Report readiness status to executives, boards, and regulators in a defensible assessment-report format

The following capabilities are outside the scope of CounterSwarm and will never be part of the platform without explicit federal C-UAS program authorization:

Active drone countermeasures are heavily regulated in most jurisdictions. In the United States, authority to employ C-UAS systems is limited to specific federal agencies under 49 U.S.C. § 46502, 6 U.S.C. § 124n, and related statutes. Unauthorized use of jamming or spoofing equipment violates the Communications Act (47 U.S.C. § 333) and can result in significant criminal penalties.

In Canada, active countermeasures fall under Transport Canada's authority under the Aeronautics Act and the Radiocommunication Act. Similar frameworks apply in the EU, UK, and Australia.

CounterSwarm is designed to operate entirely within the bounds of what private-sector and public-sector operators are legally permitted to do — which is to detect, assess, document, and respond, not to actively defeat.

Any hypothetical authorized countermeasure program would sit outside the current product, outside the public pilot package, and outside the default commercial path. The current CounterSwarm surface remains defensive-only.

Customers using CounterSwarm remain responsible for:

• Ensuring that all information entered into the platform is accurate and lawfully obtained
• Using readiness scores and remediation recommendations as professional inputs — not as the sole basis for security decisions
• Complying with all applicable aviation, privacy, and communications regulations in their jurisdiction
• Not using the platform to facilitate any unlawful activity

If you believe CounterSwarm is being used in violation of this Safety Policy, or if you have concerns about the safety or legality of a specific use case, please contact us at safety@counterswarm.io. We take all such reports seriously and will investigate promptly.
