Drone Detection as a Service

Detect the drones over your site — and where the pilot is.

Passive detection of DJI and Remote ID drones. Each alert shows the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

Where our network already reaches you, you go live without any installation. Where it does not, we provide the hardware at no extra cost.

How Drone Detection Works

From signal to alert in seconds, with nothing required from the drone.

1

Detect

Our scanners pick up Remote ID broadcasts and DJI DroneID RF signals from drones in range.

2

Locate

We identify the drone's model and serial, and pin the pilot's exact position, often from the very first detection.

3

Alert & log

You get an instant SMS or app notification, and every detection is logged to your dashboard.

Locating the pilot

Not just the drone: where the pilot is.

Each alert shows the drone and, often from the very first detection, where the pilot is.

  • The drone's flight track and the pilot's position on one map
  • An SMS with the pilot's street address and a Google Maps link
  • The drone's model, serial, height and speed

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is the AirPlate Drone Detection Service?

It is drone detection as a service: you subscribe to drone detection data for your site and follow every detection in one dashboard, with pilot positions, instant alerts and a full activity log.

See how it works 

How does the drone detection work?

Detection is purely passive: nothing is required from the drone, and the pilot receives no signal. Each detection runs through three steps.

  1. Detect: the scanners pick up Remote ID broadcasts and DJI DroneID RF signals from drones in range.
  2. Locate: the drone's model and serial are identified, and the pilot's exact position is pinned, often from the very first detection.
  3. Alert and log: you get an instant SMS or app notification, and every detection is kept in the activity log.
See how the pilot is located 

Do I need to install anything?

Not where AirPlate's network already reaches your site: there you start without any installation. Where it does not, AirPlate provides the hardware at no extra cost.

Estimate your cost 

Which drones does the service detect?

DJI drone models, commercial drones over 250 g, and Remote ID equipped drones, with a stated detection rate of 90% across all drones. Military drones and DIY builds are not covered. You see the drone's model, serial, height and speed.

How are alerts set up?

You draw your own alarm zones, and any detection inside a zone triggers an alert. SMS and app alerts reach the right people the moment a drone appears.

  • You can adjust the zones any time, and choose which contacts are notified for each zone.
  • Alerts also come by email, and detection data can also feed your security operations dashboard.
  • Hotspots are visible at a glance in the dashboard.

Is my detection data shared with anyone?

No. Your detection data stays in your AirPlate account, and nothing is shared with DJI or any other third party.

What does the Drone Detection Service cost?

It starts at 160 € (1195 DKK) per month. The estimator shows the price for the area you draw, before you commit to anything.

  1. Draw the area you want covered on the map. You can draw several zones.
  2. See an indicative monthly price for each zone, in about 30 seconds.
  3. Send your request, with no commitment. AirPlate follows up with a tailored quotation.
