A live air picture for your operation

Situational Awareness in Your Operating Area

Know what's happening in the airspace above you — while you fly. We supply the receivers with instructions, you set them up in your area — they detect the actual air traffic and make it visible to you and your remote pilots.

Why situational awareness

The Airspace Above Your Operating Area Isn't Map Knowledge

Maps show zones, but not who is actually flying. An air picture from your own receivers closes that gap.

  • Gliders and paragliders aren't on any map

    No airspace chart shows who is actually moving through your operational volume. Gliders, hang gliders, rescue helicopters and light aviation only show up once you measure on site.
  • The same volumes, every day

    Drone-in-a-box systems fly the same volumes daily and for years. A live air picture turns a one-off assumption into continuous observation.
  • Your remote pilots make better decisions

    If you know manned aviation is approaching, you can react earlier: postpone the flight, reduce altitude, land. That is the core of improved situational awareness.
How it works

From Site to Air Picture

Four steps. You take care of mounting; after installation, the air picture runs continuously.

  1. Site selection

    You choose the mounting point; we advise you so that it covers your operational volume and the adjacent areas.
  2. Installation

    You mount the receiver and combined antenna following our instructions; we check connectivity and reception quality with you.
  3. Air picture

    Detected aircraft appear continuously — with category, altitude and detection source.
  4. Operating procedures

    We define how your remote pilots respond to the air picture — and write it into your operations manual.
The technology

One Receiver for All Relevant Protocols

One device detects manned aviation and drones across all common protocols – with a single antenna and under 5 W power consumption.

Air protocols
ADS-B / Mode A/C/S, UAT978 (alternative), FLARM, OGN, PilotAware, FANET, ADS-L
Drone detection
Drone Remote ID via WiFi and Bluetooth — no additional hardware
Timestamps
GNSS-synchronised with nanosecond resolution
Connectivity
Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth or optional 4G LTE modem
Installation
One combined antenna for 868 and 1090 MHz, under 5 W power consumption, no moving parts
Location
Desktop housing or rugged outdoor version for masts and open terrain
openAir multitrack with combined antenna

What the Air Picture Gives Your Remote Pilots

During operations, the reception data becomes a basis for decisions – for each individual flight and for your procedures.

  • Who is flying, at what altitude

    Detected aircraft with category, altitude band and detection source — not just a dot on the map.
  • React earlier instead of explaining later

    Approaching traffic becomes visible before it matters. Your remote pilots have time to decide.
  • Procedures that match the air picture

    Together with you, we define how to respond to which event and document it traceably in your operations manual.
  • Recording for review

    All detections are stored. If needed, they become the air traffic report for your application.
The difference

Situational Awareness or Air Traffic Report?

The same hardware, two different purposes. Usually, it makes sense to combine them.

  • Situational Awareness

    Runs alongside operations. Its purpose is the air picture for your remote pilots and the procedures that depend on it. Not a document, but an ongoing function.Book an appointment
  • Air Traffic Report

    Looks back. Its purpose is evidence for the authority: which traffic occurs in the operational volume and via which protocol it is detectable. This makes the report a possible basis for your air risk mitigation.Learn more
Hardware

The Right Configuration for Your Area

Which hardware configuration you need depends on your operating area: how large it is, how the terrain blocks the line of sight and which connectivity is available on site.

We advise you on the selection and prepare a quote for the configuration that suits your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Situational Awareness

On hardware, mounting and how it works together with the air traffic report, we answer the most common questions here.

Not necessarily. For the application, the air traffic report counts as an air risk mitigation. A live air picture is an operational function — it helps your remote pilots day to day and supports procedures you describe in your operations manual.

Yes. The same receiver delivers both: the live air picture and the data basis for the analysis. If you are having measurements taken anyway, you get the air picture without a second installation.

No. What is detectable is whatever transmits via one of the supported protocols. Non-cooperative aircraft without a transponder remain invisible — your procedures need to account for that.

You choose the mounting point. We advise you, based on your operational volume and the adjacent areas. You mount it on site — hardware and instructions come from us. You need a clear view for the combined antenna, power and connectivity. The outdoor version is built for masts and open terrain.
