Drones that identify themselves
Receive the identity and position that a drone broadcasts.
Cooperative detection decodes Remote ID broadcasts. Identity availability depends on the transmitting aircraft and received data.
Ground sensing
See drones that identify themselves. And those that do not.
SkyRadar watches for drone identity broadcasts and other radio signals. With connected radar inputs, it brings more of the activity around a site into view.
SkyRadar combines Remote ID decoding, RF/SDR sensing and configured radar inputs. It correlates cooperative and non-cooperative observations at the edge and exposes structured detections through open interfaces.

From signals to site awareness.
What it does
SkyRadar, explained.
SkyRadar watches for drone identity broadcasts and other radio signals. With connected radar inputs, it brings more of the activity around a site into view.
SkyRadar combines Remote ID decoding, RF/SDR sensing and configured radar inputs. It correlates cooperative and non-cooperative observations at the edge and exposes structured detections through open interfaces.
Drones without a broadcast identity
Use other radio observations and connected radar to detect activity that identity-only receivers miss.
Non-cooperative detection uses RF/SDR observations and configured radar inputs without relying on Remote ID. A drone emitting no detectable radio signal requires another suitable sensor input; detection is not universal.
Local processing, connected results
Combine observations near the sensor and feed the result into your existing operations system.
Edge correlation combines source observations at the node. MQTT, REST and webhooks expose structured detection data.
How it fits together
Explore a sensing site.
Coverage shapes are illustrative, not measured range.
Try the interactive illustration- 01
Listen for broadcast identity.
Broadcast identity provides information only for aircraft transmitting it.
Remote ID decoding receives cooperative aircraft broadcasts. It cannot supply identity for an aircraft that is not transmitting it.
- 02
Observe other radio activity.
An observation does not automatically establish an operator identity.
RF/SDR sensing observes radio activity independently of Remote ID. Detection depends on emissions, propagation and the local radio environment.
- 03
Put observations in one picture.
The ground sensing layer feeds systems such as SkyGrid.
Edge correlation combines inputs, with radar data where configured. Observation, identity and operator attribution remain distinct.
The Aerial Grid approach
What makes SkyRadar different.
SkyRadar goes beyond listening for drone identity. It combines different observations locally and shares the results with the systems your team already uses.
Remote ID, RF/SDR and configured radar data are correlated at the edge. Open interfaces support operational integration without requiring a single proprietary display. Coverage and performance require site validation.

Questions, answered.
Is SkyRadar an aircraft-mounted device?
No. SkyRadar is on the ground; SkyTag is fitted to the aircraft.
SkyRadar is a ground sensing node. SkyTag supplies aircraft-mounted identity and telemetry; their roles are complementary.
Does it stop a drone?
SkyRadar provides detection and awareness. It does not jam drone signals.
SkyRadar receives and correlates observations. Passive RF observation does not provide signal jamming or aircraft control.
Is the demonstration a range claim?
No. Coverage must be assessed at the deployment site. The shapes here explain the sensing concept.
Coverage geometry in the scene is schematic. Validate sensor placement, RF conditions and connected radar coverage before setting performance expectations.
