Airwise integrates UAS Sentry's Remote ID

Airwise Solutions has added UAS Sentry as a new Remote ID partner for its Nexus airspace platform. The integration combines drone detection with a broader operational picture for airports, utilities, and critical infrastructure operators.

Airwise is integrating UAS Sentry's Nexus Remote ID detection system. This follows a similar partnership with Dronetag announced earlier in September, which brought data from Dronetag's Scout and RIDER receivers into the same platform.

Expanding the operational picture

The goal is to provide a single common operating picture for enterprise customers. This view shows not only their own managed drone fleets but also other Remote ID-equipped drones operating nearby. Information such as drone location, pilot position, aircraft model, and serial number can be viewed alongside telemetry, radar, ADS-B, weather, and other airspace data.

John Powers, chief revenue officer at Airwise Solutions, emphasized the need for comprehensive visibility. "Organizations need visibility into the entire low-altitude operating environment, not just the aircraft they are managing," he said.

UAS Sentry's detection capabilities

UAS Sentry Nexus is a modular Remote ID detection platform. It is designed to scale from three to 18 independently processed antennas through a single LAN or LTE connection. The system provides drone detection, identification, geofencing, alerting, classification, historical identification, and analytics.

The platform supports an API, allowing its detection data to be integrated with third-party command-and-control, situational-awareness, and mapping platforms. UAS Sentry's David Burritt stated the system was designed to make sophisticated Remote ID detection scalable and accessible.

With the Airwise integration, this detection data sits alongside enterprise drone fleets, mission activity, airspace information, FAA services, and other connected data sources. The companies argue that simply knowing a drone is nearby is insufficient; understanding its purpose and relation to ongoing operations is critical.

Target customers and system flexibility

The combined capability targets organizations requiring greater low-altitude airspace awareness. This includes critical infrastructure operators, utilities, energy companies, public-safety agencies, airports, and industrial facilities. For them, the integration moves drone detection from a standalone function into a unified operational context.

The partnership offers scalability. UAS Sentry Nexus can be deployed where detection is needed immediately, with additional coverage added later. Its modular architecture and API are designed to connect with other systems, an approach the companies say will be useful as commercial drone operations grow more complex.

Airwise's Nexus platform is built around this broader concept of integrated airspace management. It handles airspace authorizations, pilot and fleet management, mission planning, analytics, and UAS Traffic Management (UTM) operational intent. The recent partnerships with Dronetag and UAS Sentry add a specific layer: aggregating data from different Remote ID detection systems.

UAS Sentry notes its software and firmware are developed in the United States, with final assembly also performed domestically. The companies aim to help organizations understand not only if a drone is nearby, but what is happening across their low-altitude airspace and how it relates to their own operations.
