Meet Dronetag RIDER: Portable Remote ID Receiver Revolutionizing Drone Safety in the Face of Airspace Concerns

Recent drone-related incidents, including unidentified sightings across the U.S. and a collision with an aircraft near Los Angeles, highlight the pressing need for enhanced drone visibility. Dronetag's RIDER offers an innovative solution — a compact, drone-agnostic Remote ID receiver that boosts situational awareness and supports safer airspace for all. 

This wireless, battery-powered device captures Remote ID signals from any drone, transmitting real-time data to the Dronetag App or other UTM/C-UAS systems. RIDER displays and stores vital aircraft information, such as location, altitude, speed, and pilot details, making it ideal for continuous monitoring of commercial drones. With its 24/7 alert system, RIDER provides crucial airspace insights for applications where safety is paramount. 

CEO and Founder Lukáš Brchl emphasizes, "RIDER is a 'Level 0' solution for situational awareness, offering three connectivity options: LTE, Bluetooth, or USB-C." He adds, "While mobile phones were initially expected to handle these tasks, RIDER fills the gap left by their limitations." The device also supports both online and offline data transfer, ensuring reliability for sensitive or private operations.

Portable, precise, and drone-agnostic, RIDER is easy to carry and offers real-time alerts, whether clipped to a backpack, attached to a radio controller, or stored in a pocket. 

Key Benefits for Public Safety and Professional Pilots 

RIDER serves two primary users: 

  • Public Safety Units: For police, fire, and public safety agencies, RIDER ensures real-time awareness of drone activity in high-risk or sensitive areas, enabling quick responses to emerging threats and maintaining airspace security. 

  • Professional Pilots: For commercial and industrial drone operators, RIDER enhances safety by providing visibility into nearby drone activity, reducing the risk of collisions and protecting valuable assets during critical flights. 

Unlike counter-UAS systems that neutralize unwanted drones, RIDER offers a real-time situational awareness tool designed for portability and ease of use, making it an essential investment for both public safety and private operations.
