Advanced Ground-Based Remote ID Solutions

The GS2L and idME PRO Systems for Enhanced UAV Monitoring and Airspace Management

AEROBITS, a technological company specializing in avionics miniaturization, has recently introduced an innovative solution to enhance airspace surveillance and Unmanned Aircraft System integration. It’s DRS-1 – Dual-Band Receiver Station. The DRS-1, officially launched in June 2024, is a high-performance receiver station designed to provide reliable airspace surveillance capabilities. This dual-band receiver station is particularly well-suited for monitoring traffic at airports, air traffic management systems, and local airfields. The DRS-1 represents a significant advancement in Aerobits’ ground infrastructure solutions, which are crucial for the development of UTM and U-Space systems.

There is also another solution – GS2L Ground Station from Aerobits. This versatile device can serve as a powerful Remote ID ground receiver, offering a range of features like:

The GS2L receiver station offers various configurations, such as functioning as an ADS-B/FLARM omnidirectional receiver with BLE/Wi-Fi Remote ID receiver capabilities. This allows it to detect and identify different types of aircraft, including drones with Remote ID transmitters. A key feature of the GS2L is its onboard multi-constellation GNSS sensor, providing superior positional accuracy crucial for tracking UAVs in monitored airspace.

Aerobits also offers Remote ID transmitters like the idME series, with the idME PRO being an advanced RID device for UAVs. This device supports dual-technology broadcasting, making it versatile for drone identification and tracking. The idME PRO is FAA and EASA approved, allowing its use in the United States and European Union markets.

Remote ID ground receivers, like the DRS and GS2L, enhance airspace safety by detecting and processing Remote ID signals from UAVs equipped with Aerobits idME series or other modules that use BLE and Wi-Fi technologies. Aerobits has demonstrated the effectiveness of their solutions with range tests, achieving nearly 16 km using the idME PRO transmitter and GS2L ground station, a notable result given the use of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology.

The GS2L’s ability to receive and process these signals makes it essential for airspace monitoring and management. Aerobits’ DRS and GS2L solutions represent a significant advancement in ground-based Remote ID receiver technology. By offering subsystems for UAV integration and specializing in air traffic control systems, Aerobits positions itself as a key player in U-Space development. Their solutions, including the DRS-1 and idME PRO, address current UAV autonomy limitations and facilitate the transition to more autonomous operations, providing complete infrastructure for monitoring and managing drone fleets.

Summary:

The GS2L can function as an ADS-B/FLARM omnidirectional receiver and includes BLE/Wi-Fi Remote ID capabilities, allowing it to detect various aircraft, including drones. It features a multi-constellation GNSS sensor for precise tracking. The idME PRO, an FAA and EASA-approved Remote ID device, offers dual-technology broadcasting for UAV identification and tracking. These systems, crucial for airspace safety, can detect and process Remote ID signals, with AEROBITS reporting impressive range test results. Aerobits’ solutions support the development of U-Space systems and UAV autonomy.
