Security Tracking of Aerial Drones
Our first product remains an integral component of drone traffic control globally. Passport PULSE is simple in transmission, and complex in aggregation. Aerial drones have a beacon installed which transmits vital information across 3 channels for full redundancy. The data sent is:
- Location – determined by Differential GPS, Local Positioning Systems and 5G triangulation
- Identification – a hard-coded serial number, linked to local drone registration systems
- Direction – current speed and heading
On-board processing means that the data, along with check bits and encryption, adds up to less that 5KB.
Passport’s Operating System (POS) keeps track of the data and makes it available for the following purposes:
- Novel Journeys – anytime a particular drone takes a new journey
- Straying – entering restricted airspace
- Tailing – following another vehicle (including those on land or sea)
- Non-return Journeys – may indicate a change of ownership, mechanical failure, or illicit activities
However, the primary purpose is for the relevant authorities to simply know which drone belongs to whom. Unidentified drones are liable to be removed from the airspace.
Drones manufactured prior to Passport PULSE becoming available can purchase a bolt-on device that use Kryptonite for Bots technology.
