Dronetag Scout - Remote ID receiver

A high-performance Remote ID receiver designed to monitor and identify commercial drones by capturing their identification and flight telemetry data. With detection ranges of up to 10 km (6 miles) with omni antennas and 25 km (15 miles) with directional antennas, it is an ideal solution for airports, critical infrastructure, and secure facilities to increase situational awareness and make informed decisions. Multiple Scouts can be interconnected to expand coverage, allowing for comprehensive monitoring of entire cities and critical infrastructure.

Baseline Configuration

The Baseline configuration is Scout’s standard setup, ready to deploy out of the box. It provides reliable situational awareness by detecting all drones/modules broadcasting Remote ID over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz). With two omnidirectional antennas and built-in GNSS, it offers full 360° coverage and is ideal for most small- to mid-scale monitoring needs. Depending on the radio interference in the area of the deployment, the expected visual line of sight range is 10 km (6 mi) in rural areas and 5 km (3 mi) in urban areas.

Typical Use Cases: Protection of personal or private property, municipal or campus-level drone detection, temporary and mobile deployments.

Typical Customers: Private security providers, UTM / U-space service providers, OEMs and system integrators, and critical infrastructure with basic coverage needs.

High-Performance Antenna Configuration

For extended detection range and focused coverage, Scout supports up to four 2.4 GHz sector (directional) antennas. Each antenna covers a 90° horizontal field of view and significantly boosts performance in challenging environments, with a typical rural range of up to 25 km (15 mi) and urban 10 km (6 mi).

Antenna Configuration: Scout allows for up to five antenna ports (radios), which are allocated based on the selected configuration at the time of order:

• You can choose 1-4 2.4 GHz sector antennas (90° each).
• The remaining ports are filled with omnidirectional antennas:
  - One 2.4 GHz omnidirectional
  - One 2.4/5 GHz dual-band omnidirectional
• When using all 4 sector antennas (maximum), only one dual-band (2.4/5 GHz) omni antenna can be used.

Typical Use Cases: Wide-area surveillance and perimeter monitoring, operations in urban or high-interference zones, airspace security in regulated or high-risk environments.

Typical Customer: Airports & air navigation service providers, police, military, and border control forces, and critical infrastructure operators.
