DRONE AWARENESS

The Receiver

The receiver lives inside, as high as possible. It should be somewhere with a good view to outside or at least away from electronics and metal.

It passively listens for drones broadcasting nearby, up to about a mile away.

It Does Not

  • Know or upload its own location
  • Identify any information about who or where it is hosted
  • Transmit any radio signals out to the drones
  • Track anything besides drones broadcasting per ASTM F3411
