skyAlert™

skyAlert – Wearable Aircraft Alerting for UAS Operators and Visual Observers

Stay focused on the mission, not on the screen. skyAlert keeps UAS operators safe and compliant with audible alerts when aircraft enter our airspace.

How It Works

Features

  • Rugged, wearable ADS-B detection system enhances airspace awareness for UAS pilots.

  • Dual-band ADS-B reception (978 MHz and 1090 MHz) detects cooperative crewed aircraft.

  • Real-time audible and visual alerts triggered when aircraft enter a user-defined alert zone (range and altitude configurable).

  • Rechargeable, long-life battery supports full-day operations.

  • Optional EFB/iPAD Integration provides additional visibility through GDL-90 standard protocols over WiFi.
  • Compact and lightweight design built for use in demanding field environments.

Minimum set up time – enhanced situational awareness
Ideal for utility inspections and first responder operations

MOBILE UAS OPERATIONS

Optional Live ADS-B Traffic On Your EFB

For enhanced situational awareness, skyAlert offers integrated connectivity to most common Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) applications, allowing users or their visual observer to electronically monitor nearby aircraft traffic on a mobile device. This capability uses the industry-standard GDL-90 protocol, providing real-time aircraft position data directly to the operator’s preferred EFB software in addition to providing audible alerts directly to the RPIC. skyAlert is compatible with ForeFlight Mobile, SkyDemon, EasyVFR, FlyQ, Stratus Insight, WingX, AirMate, OzRunways, AvPlan, SkyMap, and others.

The GPS position and baro altimeter provide the EFB with positioning and barometric altitude used for accurate depictions of relative positions and altitudes of nearby traffic.
