The New Hampshire Department of Corrections has installed Flock Safety's AI-powered Raven audio detection devices near prisons in Concord to detect unauthorized drone activity as part of a pilot program for prison security. These devices do not record license plates but have raised privacy concerns due to the company's association with automatic license plate readers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your security tech stack now includes AI drone detection near correctional facilities. If you build or sell surveillance or counter-drone tools, New Hampshire's pilot offers an open path for trialing your tech in government-led security projects.
