Just a few months after the release of RDID 1.0, Spotter Global is proud to announce the release of RDID 2.0. This sensor is for detecting and tracking FAA-compliant Wifi and Bluetooth drones as well as their pilots.
Upholding the Spotter Global motto, “First to Detect, First to Protect™”, RDID 2.0 will empower law enforcement and security personnel with a cost-effective solution to reliably detect 90+% of drones in their airspace, with zero false alarms and swiftly reach the location of the drone pilot for any needed intervention. GSX visitors can see a demonstration of RDID 2.0 at booth #1319 or in Honeywell’s Commercial Security Suite #341.
Law enforcement branches
RDID’s unparalleled Drone ID tracking system capitalises on the FAA requirement for all drones over 250 grams to broadcast their serial number, location, and pilot location when in flight. RDID is easily deployed, can be set up anywhere on a simple tripod, covers nearly 700 acres of area (3 km range, 360°) with a single device, generates zero false alarms, detects and tracks both drone and drone operator locations with precision.
Combined with Spotter’s NetworkedIO (C2 software) the RDID seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructure including PTZ cameras, radars, and VMS systems. This new CUAS solution will enable law enforcement branches and security teams charged with protecting critical infrastructure, data centres, college campuses, crime scenes, and other locations to quickly “Find the pilot. Stop the Drone.”
Mitigating active drone threats
Production units will be delivered in November of 2025, and are available for pre-order
Just this summer, RDID enabled a city law enforcement office to catch two drone pilots illegally flying their drones over a high-attendance stadium event.
Because security and law enforcement teams must abide by FAA restrictions that prevent them from jamming or using hard-kill solutions against drones, the ability to quickly locate drone operators engaged in ongoing criminal drone activities is one of the few legal avenues open for mitigating active drone threats.
“Spotter is on a very rapid development pace, focusing on delivery not just the best radar and Drone ID sensors in the world but solutions to customer’s security problems,” says Logan Harris, Spotter’s CEO & President. “The release of RDID 2.0 is exciting because now the RDID also detects the very cheap and shorter range drones that one can buy on Amazon for a few hundred dollars”
Preventing harmful incidents
Production units will be delivered in November of 2025, and are available for pre-order. Driven for 16 years in the mission of “Preventing Harm™,” Spotter Global produced the very first compact surveillance radars for Special Forces back in 2009.
The company later pioneered radar AI software, revolving radar drone detection, and recently released the first C2 security software to combine Radar AI and Video AI. RDID 2.0 represents Spotter Global’s latest step in breaking security industry barriers to prevent harmful incidents before they happen.
