After building in stealth for the past year, we're ready to talk about what we've been working on — and why the timing couldn't be better.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
Drones are everywhere. Beyond the consumer hobbyist, commercial drone operations are now routine — package delivery, infrastructure inspection, agriculture, public safety, real estate, and dozens of other use cases have embraced UAV technology. The FAA forecasts millions of drone operations per day within this decade.
But most organizations that operate in, above, or around the spaces where drones fly have no visibility into that activity. They can't see what's in the air, who's operating, or where it came from.
That's the gap DroneSpotter was built to close.
What We Built
Over the past year, we developed a complete drone detection and awareness platform built on the FAA's Remote ID framework:
The Receiver — A rugged, weatherproof sensor designed for permanent outdoor deployment. It passively receives Remote ID broadcasts from compliant drones operating within range, then forwards that data to the cloud over LTE. No WiFi, no IT integration, no maintenance.
The Platform — A web application that turns raw Remote ID signals into actionable intelligence. Live maps, historical search, pattern analysis, and configurable email alerts — all accessible from any browser, including mobile.
The Network — We didn't stop at building a product for customers who want to deploy their own hardware. We've been building out our own receiver network in major US cities, which means customers can tap into coverage without installing anything.
Why Now
The FAA's Remote ID rule is now in full enforcement. Compliant drone operators are broadcasting their identity and location — and until DroneSpotter, there was no accessible, commercial-grade way to receive and make sense of that data.
The window to be first is now. We've been methodical about getting the product right before talking about it publicly. We're confident the platform delivers.
What's Next
We're actively expanding our city network and onboarding customers across security, enterprise facilities, government, and research. If your organization has a need to understand drone activity in a specific area, we're ready to have that conversation.
