Remote ID Sensors

Pierce Aerospace delivers scalable, interoperable Remote ID sensors designed to enhance airspace safety, security, and defense operations.

The company pioneered Remote ID with the US Government, including multiple SBIR Phase I - Phase III awards starting in 2018 with the USAF, DHS, and NASA; as well as additional FAA-sponsored efforts. Through SBIR, Pierce Aerospace’s Remote ID solutions are eligible for sole-source awards and have unlimited award ceilings across the US Government ecosystem.

Pierce Aerospace’s market-leading family of passive sensors is trusted by the US Government, public safety, airports, commercial businesses, corporate security teams, and consumers. There’s a sensor for every mission; sensors are turnkey-ready for third-party integration (UTM, C2, C-UAS, COP, etc.) and ready to serve as baseline infrastructure for system-of-systems solutions.

Pierce Aerospace’s strongest differentiator is in its architecture. This architecture is more closely related to Netflix than outdated aviation systems. It is scalable to synchronize hundreds of thousands of sensors that are monitoring millions of drones. No other system on the marketplace can orchestrate the squawks into a symphony of safety and security.

Key applications include:

  • Drone detection and identification

  • Airspace situational awareness

  • Critical infrastructure monitoring

  • Public safety and emergency response support

  • Public event security: concerts, sporting events, public gatherings, etc.

  • Drone as a First Responder integration

  • UTM + C-UAS integration

  • UAS program operations and compliance support

  • Instrumentation of UAS test ranges

  • Integration with broader airspace or security systems

  • HOA and homeowner airspace monitoring

Designed for real-world operational use, Pierce Aerospace sensors can support security teams, public safety agencies, government users, infrastructure operators, consumers, and commercial drone programs that need reliable visibility into UAS activity.

Every sensor is inspected and tested prior to delivery to customers.

Every B1 is inspected and test flown prior to delivery to customers.
