UAV Forensics Meets Digital Investigations
Drone forensics has become an essential component of modern investigations.
Whether responding to contraband deliveries at correctional facilities, unauthorized drone activity near critical infrastructure, or incidents affecting public safety, investigators need more than a recovered aircraft. They need trusted drone evidence that explains what happened before, during, and after a flight.
Until now, that information has typically lived in separate systems.
SkySafe and Cellebrite are changing that through an expanded partnership that combines industry-leading drone forensics with digital investigative software, giving investigators a unified workflow to analyze drone activity alongside digital evidence. Together, the companies enable agencies to detect, analyze, and act on drone activity while accelerating investigations and strengthening case development.
Why Drone Forensics Is Becoming Essential to Modern Investigations
Recovering a drone or seizing a mobile device is only part of an investigation. Investigators also need to understand what occurred in the airspace, including where a drone flew, how it behaved, whether it appeared in previous incidents, and where the operator was located when communication signals are available. By combining drone detection with digital forensics, agencies gain a complete investigative picture.
Turning Drone Evidence into Actionable Intelligence
SkySafe provides advanced drone detection, deep analytics, and built-in forensics that transform UAV evidence into actionable investigative insight. Investigators can access:
· Historical drone flight records
· Flight behavior and movement patterns
· Drone identification data
· Operator location when communication signals are available
· Historical activity across multiple incidents
· Court-admissible forensic reporting
When correlated with digital evidence extracted through Cellebrite's platform, these records help investigators identify patterns, connect related incidents, and build stronger cases.
From Drone Detection to Court-Ready Drone Evidence
Drone detection is only the beginning of an investigation. Investigators must preserve, correlate, and analyze drone evidence to establish timelines, identify operators, connect related incidents, and support criminal prosecutions. SkySafe's built-in drone forensics combined with Cellebrite's investigative platform helps agencies move from detection to evidence-backed investigations with greater speed and confidence.
One Platform for Drone Evidence and Digital Investigations
Under this expanded partnership, SkySafe's drone detection, airspace intelligence, and forensic insight will be integrated into Cellebrite's connected investigative applications, including Inseyets, Physical Analyzer, Pathfinder, Guardian, and Genesis. Investigators can access drone intelligence alongside digital evidence within the workflows they already use, reducing manual effort and improving investigative efficiency.
Why Investigators Need Drone Investigative Software
Modern investigations involve multiple evidence sources. Digital devices reveal communications and stored data, while drone forensics reveals what occurred in the airspace. Bringing these sources together within a single investigative workflow reduces manual effort, uncovers hidden relationships, and accelerates case development. The SkySafe and Cellebrite partnership combines trusted drone investigative software with industry-leading digital forensics.
Built for Public Safety and National Security
The expanded partnership supports law enforcement, public safety, corrections, government organizations, airports, and critical infrastructure operators by helping them accelerate drone investigations, correlate drone activity with digital evidence, improve situational awareness, and strengthen long-term case development. Cellebrite is the exclusive digital forensics partner for SkySafe's advanced drone detection and airspace intelligence capabilities.
The Future of UAV Forensics Is Connected
Effective drone investigations require understanding both what happened in the airspace and what is stored on digital devices. Together, SkySafe and Cellebrite connect what happened in the sky with the evidence stored on drones and associated digital devices, enabling faster investigations, stronger evidence, and better investigative outcomes.
Build Better Cases with Integrated Drone Forensics
Whether you're investigating drone activity around correctional facilities, critical infrastructure, airports, public events, or other sensitive locations, SkySafe and Cellebrite help investigators transform drone evidence into actionable investigative insight.
