Dronetag Scout Gen 2 is a PoE-powered, IP67 Remote ID receiver that tracks any remote ID compliant drone up to 15 miles with for the high performance receiver. Chain multiple units for city-wide coverage, stream real-time telemetry to your system or Dronetag Cloud, and secure sensitive airspace—passively, without RF emissions.
Long-Range Remote ID Detection for Fixed Sites
The Dronetag Scout Gen 2 is a fixed-site Remote ID receiver designed to provide continuous awareness of drones operating within your monitored airspace. Scout detects Remote ID broadcasts, identifies aircraft and operator location information, records flight activity, and can deliver detection data to the Dronetag platform or your own systems.
With dual-band reception across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, Scout Gen 2 provides coverage options ranging from broad 360° monitoring to long-range directional detection. Multiple Scout units can also be networked together to expand coverage across facilities, campuses, cities, or other large areas.

- Up to 10 km (6 mi) stated range under suitable conditions
- Ideal for general fixed-site Remote ID monitoring
Baseline + Aviation
Adds a dual-band aviation antenna to the Baseline configuration, allowing supported manned-aircraft traffic to be displayed alongside drone detections.
Supported aviation protocols include:
- ADS-B
- FLARM
- ADS-L
- OGN
- UAT
Remote ID High Performance
The High Performance configuration combines four dual-band sector antennas with an omnidirectional antenna. The sector antennas provide increased long-range detection capability and are particularly suited to complex environments where RF interference may affect reception.

US and Global Versions
Scout Gen 2 configurations are available in both US and Global versions.
US versions are designed with FirstNet capability in mind. Availability of specific FirstNet functionality may depend on firmware and network support. Advexure will only support US versions.
Four Operating Modes
Scout Gen 2 can be deployed in different operating modes depending on whether you need a standalone sensor, Dronetag cloud services, or a fully self-hosted solution.
Sensor Mode
Sensor Mode provides the raw Remote ID detection data so your organization can process, store, visualize, or integrate the information into its own infrastructure.
- Raw detection data
- MQTT and HTTP/webhook integration options
- Customer-controlled data processing and storage
- No Dronetag Cloud subscription required
- Well suited for OEMs, system integrators, C-UAS platforms, and organizations with their own software infrastructure
Sensor+ Mode
Sensor+ adds additional data processing and drone model recognition while maintaining a self-hosted deployment approach. It is intended for organizations that want additional Dronetag functionality and support without moving their detection data into a cloud workflow.
- Drone manufacturer and model recognition
- Enhanced detection data
- Desktop visualization capabilities
- Firmware and database updates when connected
- Support for integrations such as TAK and SAPIENT
Cloud Mode
Cloud Mode provides a turnkey Remote ID monitoring solution. Scout sends detection data to the Dronetag Cloud platform where it can be viewed through supported web and mobile applications.
- Real-time detection visualization
- Flight history
- Alerts
- Data export
- Whitelist capabilities
- Multi-sensor data processing and deduplication
- API access
- Support for multiple Scout receivers
On-Premise Mode
On-Premise Mode is designed for organizations that need their Remote ID data to remain within their own network. Processing and visualization can be hosted locally without sending operational detection data to the Dronetag Cloud.
This deployment option is particularly suited to environments with stringent security, data sovereignty, or network requirements.
