Protect critical infrastructure

Drones fly over utilities, substations, water systems, ag sites, airports, and crowds every day. Most of them broadcast who and where they are. BD Airspace listens for those broadcasts and puts them on a live map, so the people responsible for a site can see what’s overhead and act on it.

The same live map and flight replay serve schools and drone training programs, government agencies, and public safety teams.

It only listens. BD Airspace receives FAA Remote ID broadcasts, plus ADS-B from manned aircraft on nodes configured for it. It does not jam, intercept, transmit, or interfere with anything in the air.

How it works

Listen at the site. Map it live. Alert the right people.
  1. Node Listen

    Raspberry Pi-based receive nodes sit at the site and hear Remote ID broadcasts, and ADS-B where configured. Several nodes can hear the same drone.

  2. Live map Map

    Drone and aircraft tracks show on a live map with labels and distance from the listening node. Replay any flight after the fact.

  3. Zones Alert

    Draw zones and geofences around what you protect. When something enters, operators get the alert on a phone or field console.

What it does

  • Live map

    Drone and aircraft tracks with labels, as they’re heard.

  • Flight replay

    Scrub back through a flight. New phone-friendly replay controls.

  • Zones and alerts

    Geofences around the assets you care about.

  • Distance from node

    See how far each contact is from the listening node.

  • Multi-node hearing

    Several nodes can hear the same drone across a site.

  • Phone and field console

    iOS and Android app clients, plus field console tablets for operators.

  • Reports and export

    Pull detections and flights into reports.

  • Optional TAK/ATAK feed

    Send contacts to a TAK picture you already run.
