Understand sensing coverage, field access, performance and integration.

How quickly does AirSentinel deliver flight intelligence?

AirSentinel reports live track delivery normally under one second over cellular. Performance depends on the deployed configuration, network and operating conditions. SMS transit, human assessment and officer dispatch are separate steps.

Do field responders need an app or account?

Authorized recipients can open a shared live-flight link without an app download, login or password for that shared view. Platform administration and broader access remain governed by the organization’s access settings.

Can AirSentinel locate the pilot?

Standard Remote ID reports the control-station position associated with the person manipulating the flight controls. A broadcast module reports the takeoff point instead. Supported manufacturer signals may provide additional ground-location information depending on aircraft and firmware. AirSentinel preserves the distinction so responders can interpret the available location correctly.

Can AMS sensors and Atlas work with third-party systems?

Yes. AMS sensors expose cloud and local APIs for integration with third-party platforms. Atlas is sensor agnostic and can combine AirSentinel and external RF, radar and optical inputs. Individual integrations require compatible interfaces and configuration.

How far can one sensor detect a drone?

AMS reception range is 1–12 miles with standard antennas, depending on the environment, aircraft and installation. Dense urban coverage may require sensors as closely spaced as individual city blocks.

Does every AMS sensor detect non-cooperative drones?

AMS V10 is the Remote ID foundation. AMS Pro adds supported DJI O1–O4 signal intelligence; AMS Pro Max adds advanced decryption for supported DJI and Autel aircraft. Radar and optical integration extend coverage beyond supported RF transmissions.

What is the difference between Remote ID and Drone ID?

Remote ID is a standardized aircraft identification broadcast. Drone ID can refer to identification generally or to manufacturer-specific information such as DJI Drone ID. The available fields depend on the protocol, aircraft and receiving system.

What information can Remote ID provide about a drone?

A supported broadcast can provide an identifier, aircraft type, location, altitude, ground speed, vertical speed, direction of travel and additional status or accuracy information. Make/model details can be resolved where supported identifier reference data is available. The available ground position may identify the control station or the takeoff point, depending on the equipment.
