Counter-drone detection and situational picture

Unauthorised drone flights over a site can be detected passively: through Remote ID broadcasts and the radio signatures of common systems. The result is a documented situational picture, not an intervention.

What is examined

  • Remote ID broadcasts within reception range
  • Radio signatures of common consumer and commercial systems
  • Times, directions and, where available, the operator position
  • Repeated patterns across an observation period

How the examination is carried out

  1. 1.Site assessment and definition of the detection area
  2. 2.Installation of passive sensors, temporary or for a defined period
  3. 3.Continuous recording and documented evaluation
  4. 4.Handover of a written situational picture with recommendations

Technical limits

These limits are stated before the instruction, not afterwards.

  • Detection is passive; jamming or taking control of a drone is not lawful for private operators in Germany.
  • Systems without Remote ID and with unusual radio protocols may go undetected.
  • Reception range depends strongly on the surroundings and on interference.
  • A detection is not automatically evidence of an offence.
