Real-Time ADS-B Awareness for Field Operators

skyAlert is a rugged, wearable ADS-B detection system purpose-built for UAS field-pilots and visual observers. It delivers audible and visual alerts when cooperative aircraft are nearby, helping UAS flight teams stay focused on operations, keeping their eyes on the job, and ensuring they are aware of aircraft in their surroundings. Compact, configurable, and compatible with GDL-90 EFB apps, skyAlert is your always-on sentry for safe airspace.

SKYALERT

Wearable Aircraft Detection for UAS Operations Safety

  • Visual and Audible

    Pair SkyAlert with the iOS DroneDAA app, and your SkyAlert functionality evolves from an Audible alerting tool, to both audible and visual. DroneDAA displays nearby traffic, weather, LAANC grids, class airspaces + TFR’s and more on your iPad or iPhone.

    SkyAlert and DroneDAA

  • Configurable Alert System

    UAS field crews configure monitoring AGL altitude and monitoring radius, and once set they can forget about skyAlert and move to the job at hand. Audible alarms are triggered by any breach of the configured virtual ‘hockey puck’

     

  • Field-Ready Design

    Lightweight, rugged, and ships with a RAM® belt/visor clip, ideal for utility, emergency response, and agricultural operations. SkyAlert ships with a silicone sleeve for impact resistance in the event of drops or knocks.

     

  • Complete Sensor Information

    Multicolor LEDs assist operators by highlighting status, battery life, GPS fix, and system health.

     

Additional Features

Mission-Enhancing Capabilities for Every Operator

Dual-Band ADS-B Reception

Detects cooperative aircraft on both 978 MHz (UAT) and 1090 MHz, enabling comprehensive situational awareness for UAS crews.

Real Time Latency

DroneDAA displays real time ADS B traffic latency from SkyAlert to ensure transparency and certainty of real-time traffic.

Wi-Fi Integration for EFB Display

Broadcasts GDL-90 data over Wi-Fi, enabling real time visual traffic on EFB app’s such as DroneDAA, ForeFlight, SkyDemon, and EasyVFR.

FAQ’s

Knowledge Base

    • Does skyAlert help me comply with FAA BVLOS or DFR requirements?

      skyAlert supports compliance with waivers and rules where monitoring ADS-B is essential. skyAlert also has almost zero latency, seeing as skyAlert is the receiver itself, as such removing any concerns regarding latency from ADS-B for purposes or airspace deconfliction.

    • How do I configure alert settings in skyAlert?

      Connect to skyAlert’s Wi-Fi SSID and navigate to 192.168.4.1/settings to adjust altitude/range alert zones, LED brightness, and more.

    • Can skyAlert connect to EFB apps on my tablet?

      Yes. While skyAlert can stream traffic data to standard electronic flight bag (EFB) applications, it is built to integrate natively with DroneDAA on your iPhone or iPad.

      Unlike a generic EFB, DroneDAA is specifically tailored for uncrewed aviation and serves as the ultimate companion app to your hardware. Beyond displaying live crewed aircraft traffic from your skyAlert receiver alongside FAA airspace layers and weather, it gives you complete tactical control. Directly from the app, you can configure proximity alerts with haptic and audio feedback, adjust traffic alarm ranges, sync alert thresholds, and manage your hardware settings on the fly.

      DroneDAA can be accessed from your computer at: www.detectandavoid.com

      DroneDAA is available on the Apple AppStore here.
