BOSTON, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NOBLE® has joined forces with Airwayz and the Miami Police Department to deliver cutting-edge airspace security for the FIFA World Cup events in Miami. The partnership deployed the Airwayz OVERWATCH platform at Bayfront Park, Miami’s official FIFA Fan Fest venue, supporting Miami Police Department operations during the tournament, setting a new standard for safety and technological excellence. By providing real-time airspace awareness with advanced drone detection and management capabilities, the team ensured fans and participants experienced a safe World Cup atmosphere. Thousands of fans packed the waterfront venue to experience the massive screen watch party, interactive soccer zones, and 30-foot fan art installation, and enjoyed the global food offerings from the lineup of local food trucks.

Airwayz develops airspace governance software for cities, public safety agencies, defense organizations, and critical infrastructure operators. Through its U.S. and European operations, the company enables organizations to safely manage an increasingly complex airspace environment involving manned and unmanned systems. As the official U.S. distributor of Airwayz, NOBLE empowers venue security teams nationwide by delivering the Airwayz OVERWATCH Platform, comprehensive training, and expert services to federal, state, and local agencies.

Airspace Security & Partner Coordination

NOBLE serves as the commercial foundation for deploying Airwayz OVERWATCH’s vendor-agnostic architecture, airspace security systems, and sensor systems, creating a single operational picture for law enforcement. The integrated network includes:

• NOBLE IQ™: This specialized training and services division of NOBLE supports deployment of the overall platform architecture.
• DefenSync: Feeds radar and radio frequency (RF) detection data into the platform.
• Spherelink: Provides compact, edge-AI acoustic sensors to detect unauthorized drone signatures.

This collaborative setup helps public safety personnel actively manage and defend the restricted airspace, sharply mitigating the high-priority threat posed by unauthorized aerial activity around South Florida’s World Cup venues.

Advanced Perimeter Defense: Innovative Solutions for Venue Security

NOBLE IQ secures venues through its operational lifecycle solutions, managing system evaluation, multi-sensor implementation, and tactical training for on-site personnel. NOBLE IQ connects Airwayz’s OVERWATCH platform with the law enforcement officers patrolling the stadium perimeters.

• Multi-Sensor Integration: Orchestrates hardware onboarding for unmanned aerial assets, radar feeds, acoustic sensors, and RF signal interceptors into a single interface.
• Operator Instruction & Training: Conducts specialized, hands-on security and counter-drone instruction courses. This helps local officers and private security quickly interpret threat telemetry during high-stress scenarios.
• System Sustainment: Provides technical support, field maintenance, and system calibration throughout the tournament window to prevent security blind spots.

By combining NOBLE IQ’s logistics and training with Airwayz’s airspace control and governance capabilities, law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and local Police Departments, can secure a large perimeter around major venues. The unified system allows security to establish a detection perimeter, extending from half a mile to a mile beyond the stadium. Unauthorized aerial activity can be detected and tracked, enabling law enforcement to respond effectively before it reaches the crowd. Additionally, real-time aerial data provides the central command center with comprehensive situational awareness across the entire venue.
