Dronetag, a pioneer in drone identification solutions, has introduced RIDER, a compact and wireless Remote ID receiver aimed at improving drone visibility and enhancing airspace safety.
This innovative device offers real-time monitoring features, addressing the increasing demand for better situational awareness considering recent incidents involving drones in airspace.
Introducing the RIDER Remote ID Receiver
The RIDER is a portable, battery-operated device that captures Remote ID signals from any drone, irrespective of its manufacturer. It relays real-time flight information, such as location, altitude, speed, and pilot details, to the Dronetag App or any UTM/C-UAS system.
Notable Features
- Universal Compatibility: Compatible with all drones that support Remote ID, ensuring easy integration into current monitoring frameworks.
- Diverse Connectivity Options: Shares data through LTE,Bluetooth,or USB-C for immediate information dissemination.
- continuous Airspace Monitoring: Offers ongoing situational awareness with real-time alerts and visual displays.
- Compact & Portable: Its lightweight design allows for easy attachment to backpacks, controllers, or pockets for convenient monitoring.
- Secure Data Management: Facilitates both online and offline data transfers, making it ideal for sensitive operations.
innovative Technology for Enhanced Airspace Safety
RIDER provides a “Level 0” situational awareness solution, addressing a significant gap left by mobile devices.Lukáš Brchl, CEO and founder of Dronetag, stated, “RIDER offers a ‘level 0’ solution for situational awareness, featuring three connectivity options for real-time data sharing: integrated LTE, Bluetooth, or USB-C. While mobile phones were initially thought to manage these tasks, their technical limitations created a void that RIDER now effectively fills.”
Engineered for round-the-clock monitoring of commercial drone activities, RIDER boosts operational safety by promptly notifying users of potential airspace conflicts. Its adaptable design caters to drone operators, public safety officials, and airspace managers, whether clipped to a backpack, attached to a radio controller, or tucked into a pocket.
Designed for Public Safety and Professional Operators
RIDER is tailored for two primary audiences:
- public Safety Agencies – For law enforcement, fire departments, and public safety organizations, RIDER provides real-time detection and situational awareness of drone operations in sensitive or high-risk areas. This capability enables rapid responses to potential threats, ensuring airspace security and safeguarding restricted zones.
- Commercial Drone Operators – For UAS pilots managing commercial or industrial drones, RIDER is an essential tool for protecting valuable assets and equipment. By offering clear visibility of surrounding drone activities, it aids pilots in avoiding collisions, thereby ensuring safer operations during critical missions.
While counter-UAS systems focus on neutralizing unwanted drones, RIDER presents an accessible, portable solution designed for real-time situational awareness. Crafted with pilots,operators,and a variety of use cases in mind,it boasts an intuitive design and extensive compatibility,making it a worthwhile investment for enhancing safety where it counts.
Exclusive Pre-Order Offer
Take advantage of the limited-time pre-order campaign to secure the dronetag RIDER at a special price of $899 / €799, available only until mid-march and exclusively through the Dronetag e-shop.The Dronetag RIDER will be accessible through authorized resellers in the US and EU by mid-February.
upcoming Dronetag Scout
While RIDER serves as a versatile solution for both personal and professional applications, Dronetag is also preparing to launch the stationary version of the Remote ID receiver, known as the Dronetag Scout. This device is designed for large-scale operations and will offer similar advanced situational awareness as RIDER, along with enhanced features for managing drone activities in extensive, fixed installations.
