Multi-system tracker for UAS airspace awareness and remote identification

trkME is a multi-system tracker from Aerobits engineered to support safe and efficient unmanned aircraft operations in increasingly complex airspace environments. Combining multiple surveillance, identification, and positioning technologies within a single compact platform, the device delivers comprehensive situational awareness for UAS operators conducting both VLOS and BVLOS missions. trkME integrates an ADS-B receiver, FLARM IN/OUT transceiver, BLE/Wi-Fi Remote ID transmitter, and a multi-constellation GNSS sensor, providing reliable tracking, identification, and positioning data to support airspace integration initiatives and operational safety objectives.

Designed for use in LTE-enabled environments, trkME utilizes built-in 4G/LTE connectivity to transmit operational data without requiring additional communication cabling. The platform supports direct remote drone identification and localization requirements defined by ASTM and ASD-STAN standards, utilizing Bluetooth Low Energy broadcasts and Wi-Fi NAN/Beacon frame technologies to enable drone and operator identification through modern mobile devices. Support for network-based remote identification via LTE further extends operational flexibility. By supplying accurate surveillance and positioning information, trkME assists the implementation of Detect and Avoid strategies, supports reduced separation between airspace users, and facilitates the integration of unmanned aircraft into non-segregated airspace. For operation on FLARM frequencies, a FLARM UAS license must be obtained from Aerobits with the device purchase.
