AirDetect
Long Range
Scans Remote ID drones at up to 20 km. Three tri-sector antennas deliver full 360° coverage from a single installation point. No operator required.

AirDetect Long Range is a fixed-site Remote ID drone detection sensor with up to 20 km range and full 360° coverage from three tri-sector antennas on a single installation point. It runs unattended on power alone with a SIM card included, and reports pilot positions and flight tracks with SMS and email alerts.
What it does
Wide-area coverage from a single sensor.
Wide-area coverage
Three tri-sector antennas scan a full 360° at up to 20 km. One unit covers an entire perimeter with no gaps.
Pilot location
AirPlate identifies the pilot's position and sends an alert with the exact address the drone is controlled from.
Live positions
Drone type and pilot location appear on a live map the moment a detection occurs.
Detailed track logs
Each detection captures a full flight path with timestamps, giving your team verifiable evidence of every incursion.
Instant alerts
AirPlate sends SMS and email notifications the moment a drone enters your monitored airspace.
Passive detection
Purely passive. The drone pilot receives no signal that AirDetect Long Range has identified their aircraft.
Weekly summaries
AirPlate sends a weekly email covering all registered drone activity at your site.
Data stays private
Detection data never leaves your AirPlate account. Nothing is shared with third parties.
Who it's for
Built for sites that demand long-range awareness.
Critical Infrastructure
Power stations, water treatment plants, and industrial sites need wide-area coverage that a standard sensor cannot provide. AirDetect Long Range covers the full perimeter from a single installation.
Airports & Airfields
Monitor the full airspace perimeter at 20 km range from one mounting point. Detection events feed directly into your security operations dashboard in real time.
Military & Defence
Integrates into layered drone detection systems at bases, training areas, and secure perimeters. AirDetect Long Range adds a 20 km passive detection layer to any existing security setup.
The dashboard
Monitor every detection in real time.
All detections sync to your AirPlate account. Review live positions and replay full flight tracks across all your sites.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What drones does AirDetect Long Range detect?
+Remote ID drones, scanned on 2.4 GHz. It does not scan DJI RF, so legacy DJI aircraft without Remote ID are not covered; for those, AirDetect Pro Long Range adds a 5.8 GHz scan.
What range and coverage does AirDetect Long Range have?
+Up to 20 km in ideal conditions and 6 km in urban environments. Three tri-sector antennas with 7 dB gain deliver full 360° coverage from a single installation point, so one unit covers an entire perimeter with no gaps.
What does AirDetect Long Range need to be installed?
+Power only, with a SIM card included, and no operator required. It is rated for −20 °C to +45 °C.
Does AirDetect Long Range show where the pilot is?
+Yes. AirPlate identifies the pilot's position and sends an alert with the exact address the drone is controlled from. Drone type and pilot location appear on a live map, and SMS and email notifications go out the moment a drone enters your monitored airspace.
