Overview
The company currently has three products that control unauthorized drones flying in a particular airspace.[1]

In 2018, WhiteFox manufactured a radio-jamming product which permits authorized drones to fly while forces unauthorized drones out of restricted airspace.[1] WhiteFox partnered with Gryphon Sensors, a company that provides drone detection and unmanned aircraft systems.[3]
In April 2021, WhiteFox and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate joined a cooperative research and development agreement.[4]
