Dashboards & Historical Reports
Interactive dashboards and historical reports help you explore flight activity, recognize patterns, and support enforcement and security planning.
Integrations & Map Controls
Essentials supports integrations with compatible third-party radar, cameras, GIS systems, and UTM networks. Map controls let your team show or hide activity from connected detectors.

Choose Your Detection Hardware

Choose AirWarden Remote ID Receivers, Spectrum Sensors, or a combination to supply drone activity data to Essentials. Both hardware options are developed and manufactured by AeroDefense in the United States.
AirWarden Remote ID Receiver
Cost-effective Remote ID detection for facilities seeking greater airspace awareness, with plug-and-play installation. Receive drone and pilot locations from broadcast GPS data for drones broadcasting Remote ID.
Receivers support fixed, temporary, and mobile deployments, with self-installation and no environmental calibration required.
Receiver hardware is included with the AirWarden Remote ID subscription.

AirWarden Spectrum Sensors
Combine Remote ID receiving with proprietary, patented Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum sensing to detect non-broadcasting drones, providing broader coverage for facilities with higher-risk security needs.
Spectrum sensing operates without intercepting signal content, avoiding the wiretap exposure associated with RF packet inspection. Spectrum sensors are purchased separately and require professional installation and environmental calibration.

AirWarden Direction Finder
Enhance location accuracy for non-broadcasting drones within an AirWarden Spectrum deployment. Designed for demanding security environments, the Direction Finder is trusted across high-risk facilities and critical infrastructure.
Pair a Direction Finder with a Spectrum sensor for a small location, or add Direction Finders to a larger sensor network to improve location accuracy. Direction Finders must be deployed with a Spectrum sensor.

Match Your Investment to Your Risk Level

Standard Risk
Most drone activity comes from hobbyists and licensed commercial operators flying FAA-compliant drones that broadcast Remote ID. AirWarden Remote ID detects these signals, providing an affordable way to monitor drone activity and understand your overall exposure.
Higher Risk
Drones that don’t broadcast Remote ID may indicate a more serious threat from highly skilled individuals. AirWarden Spectrum offers advanced capabilities to detect non-compliant or modified drones.
Keep in Mind
When assessing risk, remember that threat actors may use standard Remote ID drones for pre-operational planning. Non-broadcasting systems are rare and require significant expertise. All drone detection and counter-UAS efforts should be intelligence-driven. Early detection and pattern tracking reveal who is flying, enabling action before careless, clueless, or malicious activity becomes a problem.

AirWarden Integration Capabilities

AirWarden Essentials' open-platform architecture integrates seamlessly with UTM networks, radar systems, security cameras, and GIS systems via APIs allowing you to unify your airspace defense within your existing security ecosystem.

UTM

When integrated with UTM systems, AirWarden enables continuous monitoring and management of both cooperative and non-cooperative drones, providing comprehensive airspace visibility.

The system feeds real-time drone data into UTM networks, to ensure enhanced coordination between air traffic and drone operators.

Camera

Camera systems can be integrated with AirWarden to start recording automatically when a drone is detected, giving you a visual layer to complement the drone detector features.

This enables operators to quickly verify drone activity, improve situational awareness, and support post-incident investigations.

GIS

When integrated with GIS platforms, AirWarden adds real-time and historical drone activity to the maps and operational views your team already uses.

This helps organizations visualize drone locations, flight paths, pilot locations, and alert zones alongside other geographic data for more complete situational awareness.

Radar

AirWarden's compatibility with radar systems allows it to detect drones that may not emit electronic signatures, improving detection range and accuracy.

By merging radar data with AirWarden's proprietary RF-based detection capabilities, users achieve a robust solution for detecting even stealth or low-profile drones.

What is the difference between AirWarden Remote ID and AirWarden Spectrum?
AirWarden Remote ID delivers cost-effective, scalable airspace awareness using Remote ID broadcasts — ideal for general monitoring and routine operations. It provides the ability to monitor multiple locations from one screen. AirWarden Spectrum provides Remote ID drone detection and advanced RF spectrum detection for high-risk sites, including the ability to detect non-compliant drones.
How quickly can AirWarden be deployed?
AirWarden Remote ID can be deployed in minutes—whether at a single building, across a campus, or at multiple sites—delivering immediate, real-time visibility into drone and pilot activity. AirWarden Spectrum, which leverages advanced RF spectrum capabilities, typically requires a more comprehensive setup and calibration process, with full deployment completed in approximately two weeks.
Can AirWarden scale across multiple sites or regions?
Absolutely. With AirWarden Remote ID you can link multiple receivers into a centralized system to monitor wide areas—from a single building to cities, regions, or nationwide—with virtual geofences and instant alerts.
What kind of reporting does AirWarden provide?
AirWarden generates historical data reports to identify trends, repeat drone activity, and patterns. Reports are available in PDF and CSV formats, making it easy to share across teams.
Is AirWarden suitable for temporary or mobile deployments?
Yes. AirWarden Remote ID can be deployed temporarily for events, emergency situations, or short-term airspace monitoring, as well as permanently for ongoing protection. AirWarden Spectrum is designed for permanent installations at high-security sites.
