The Dronetag Scout is 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.
Operating Modes
Scout supports four configurable operating modes, allowing seamless integration into various workflows and infrastructure types:
-
Sensor Mode: In this mode, the device works as a standalone Remote ID signal receiver and outputs raw detection data to your own infrastructure.
-
Sensor Mode+: Scout enriches the raw Remote ID output, identifying not just the manufacturer, but also the specific drone model based on the serial number.
-
Cloud Mode: Enables direct connection to the Dronetag Cloud platform (cloud service license sold separately).
-
On-Premise Mode: Designed for environments where data cannot leave the local network.
-
Multi-platform App: View real-time and historical drone detections in multiplatform web for iOS, Android and Web.
Antenna Options
In its baseline configuration, Scout is ready to deploy out of the box and provides reliable situational awareness by detecting all drones and modules broadcasting Remote ID over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz).
This setup can be expanded with directional antennas designed for improved performance in complex environments such as urban areas. Directional antennas have a 90° beamwidth and allow for more reliable long-range detection. Choose to add between one and four directional antennas, and connect multiple Dronetag devices, Scout and/or Rider, on Dronetag Cloud (cloud service license sold separately).
Advanced Drone & Pilot Detection
Multiple independent radios continuously receive Remote ID signals, enabling detection of drones, their pilots (or take-off position), and even identifying the drone’s manufacturer and model. This data equips you to take swift decisive action against potential threats, ensuring safety of your airspace.
Real-Time View & Data Logging
Monitor drone activities through the Dronetag App, available on Android, iOS, and web browser, or integrate seamlessly with third-party systems using our API. Historical data is stored for post-incident analysis, and users can set up geofencing alerts to be notified of unauthorized drones
Effortless Installation | Built to Last
Scout can be deployed at virtually any location using pole or wall mounting options, with support for PoE to simplify power and connectivity and optional 4G capability for added flexibility. As a passive receiver, it does not create interference with existing installations, and its rugged, IP67-rated aluminum enclosure with built-in heating ensures reliable performance even in harsh environmental conditions
Dectectd Drones
Dronetag Scout detects all Remote ID-equipped drones compliant with FAA, EASA, and MLIT standards. The system is designed to detect unauthorized drone activities, including unintentional breaches and low-sophistication criminal operations.

Antenna Mounting Options
The Scout supports multiple antenna configurations depending on deployment needs. The required Multi-Antenna Pole Adapter are included or available as optional accessories based on the selected setup. The baseline setup (2x Omni) does not require additional mounting hardware.
1x Omni + 4x 90° Sector - includes the Multi-Antenna Pole Adapter (4x)
2x Omni + 3x 90° Sector - optional Multi-Antenna Pole Adapter (4x) available
2x Omni + 2x 90° Sector - optional Multi-Antenna Pole Adapter (2x) available
2x Omni + 1x 90° Sector - optional Multi-Antenna Pole Adapter (2x) available
4G/LTE Modem Upgrade
An internal hardware upgrade that adds a 4G/LTE modem to the Baseline Configuration of Scout is available and sold separately. This enables direct mobile network connectivity for data transmission without relying on local Wi-Fi or Ethernet
Functional, Quality Design for the Entire Industry
Dronetag Scout is designed to meet the needs of organizations safeguarding sensitive airspaces, such as airports, prisons, nuclear plants, and high-security zones. It is an essential tool for public safety agencies, law enforcement, and Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems, offering reliable airspace monitoring for all environments.
Applications
Public Safety Agencies Enhance situational awareness by detecting unauthorized drones in critical areas.
Police Departments: Monitor drone activity for public safety and law enforcement operations.
Fire Departments: Identify airborne threats and ensure safe airspace during emergency response.
Search and Rescue Teams: Detect commercial drones during search missions and minimize airspace interference.
Airports & Critical Infrastructure Protection: Detect unauthorized drones to prevent airspace disruptions.
Power Plants and Energy Facilities: Secure energy assets by monitoring drone activity near restricted zones.
Event Security & Political Events: Prevent drone threats and unauthorized surveillance at large gatherings.
Environmental and Wildlife Protection: Track drones to ensure compliance with conservation regulations.
Urban Planning and Local Government: Monitor drone use in city planning and public space management.
Private & Corporate Security Teams: Strengthen perimeter security by detecting unauthorized drone operations.
