Dronetag, a leader in drone identification technology, has launched RIDER, a compact and wireless Remote ID receiver designed to enhance drone visibility and airspace safety.
The device provides real-time monitoring capabilities, addressing the growing need for improved situational awareness in response to recent drone-related airspace incidents.
RIDER Remote ID Receiver
RIDER is a portable, battery-powered device that captures Remote ID signals from all drones, regardless of manufacturer. It transmits real-time flight data, including position, altitude, speed, and pilot information, to the Dronetag App or any UTM/C-UAS system.
Key Features
- Universal Compatibility: Works with all drones supporting Remote ID, ensuring seamless integration into existing monitoring systems.
- Multiple Connectivity Options: Transmits data via LTE, Bluetooth, or USB-C for real-time information sharing.
- Live Airspace Monitoring: Provides continuous situational awareness with real-time alerts and visualizations.
- Compact & Portable: Lightweight design allows easy attachment to backpacks, controllers, or pockets for on-the-go monitoring.
- Secure Data Handling: Supports both online and offline data transfer, making it suitable for private or sensitive operations.
Advanced Technology for Safer Airspace
RIDER delivers a “Level 0” situational awareness solution, filling a crucial gap left by mobile devices. Lukáš Brchl, CEO and Founder of Dronetag, commented, “RIDER provides a ‘Level 0’ solution for situational awareness, offering three connectivity options for real-time data sharing: integrated LTE, Bluetooth, or USB-C. While mobile phones were initially expected to handle such tasks, their technical limitations left a gap that RIDER now fills seamlessly.”
Designed for 24/7 monitoring of commercial drone operations, RIDER enhances operational safety by instantly alerting users to potential airspace conflicts. Its versatile design ensures accessibility for drone operators, public safety officials, and airspace managers alike, whether clipped to a backpack, attached to a radio controller or slipped into a pocket.
Tailored for Public Safety and Professional Pilots
RIDER is designed to serve two key groups:
- Public Safety Units – For police, fire departments, and public safety agencies, RIDER offers real-time detection and situational awareness of drone activity in sensitive or high risk zones. This enables swift responses to potential threats or disruptions, ensuring airspace security and protecting restricted areas.
- Professional Drone Pilots – For UAS pilots operating commercial or industrial drones, RIDER is an invaluable tool for safeguarding valuable assets and equipment. By providing clear visibility of surrounding drone activity, it helps pilots avoid potential collisions, ensuring safer operations during critical flights.
While counter-UAS defense systems focus on neutralizing unwanted drones, RIDER offers an accessible, portable solution designed for real-time situational awareness. Built with pilots, operators, and a wide range of use cases in mind, it offers intuitive design and broad compatibility – making it an investment that delivers value where it matters the most.

Dronetag Scout Coming Soon!
While RIDER is a versatile solution for personal and professional use, Dronetag also prepares a launch of the stationary version of Remote ID receiver, a Dronetag Scout. Designed for large scale operations, Dronetag Scout will provide similar advanced situational awareness as RIDER with even more robust features for managing drone activity in larger, fixed installations.
