Edge Scout Empowers Customers with Airspace Awareness

Our approach provides real-time airspace awareness at a fraction of the cost of typical detection systems. While currently leveraging Remote ID and RF for sensing, Edge Scout covers the vast majority of your airspace concerns at a small fraction of the cost of large and immobile detection systems.

The Edge Scout approach benefits in scale, as it allows for greater coverage across much broader areas, with our goal focused on building the most scalable and accessible drone detection systems and network in the world.

Edge Scout mini

Limited Stock Only shipping within the U.S.
Price
$129
The mini packs all the same 2.4GHz detection capability as the Bravo, but into the most affordable form factor. From an operating standpoint, the only differentiating factor is that the mini requires a USB-C tether to provide power, which it can get from the EUD or any 5v power source.
  • Portable
  • EUD connectivity via Bluetooth or Tether (USB-C)
  • 2.4 Ghz frequency

Frequently Asked Questions

We get these questions quite a bit. If you need any additional info please be sure to reach out!

While in flight, drones over 250g or are commecially operated are required by the FAA to broadcast a Remote ID signal which includes identification and location information of the drone and the pilot. Edge Scout can detect those signals. More from FAA: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id
While Remote ID-compliant drones represent most of the sUAS in the sky, at present, yes. However, we will be releasing firmware updates in the coming months that will extend the detection modalities to include popular flight controllers such as BetaFlight, PX4, and others. These updates will be made available as they are developed.
The range varies greatly based on environmental factors and transmit power of the UAS. With the antenna included with our Edge Scouts and under ideal conditions, we have picked up drones over a kilometer away. With upgraded antennas and clear line of sight, we have observed ranges exceeding 15 Km.
The antenna we install on Edge Scout complies with the hardware’s FCC certification. It is possible to replace the antenna with any antenna with an RP-SMA connector. However, it is important to understand and follow the laws and regulations of your area. With alternative antennas, ranges exceeding 15 Km have been observed.
Not at all. Utilizing multiple Edge Scouts will expand your coverage and will synchronize all the latest detection data.

What Our Customers Have Said

Nine Hill products support a broad range of customer operations.
Amos Havala

BD Manager Samsung Electronics

"We’ve been using the Edge Scout during active events to manage the airspace around our area of operation. The Edge Scout excels at detecting drones and even identifying the pilots location, ensuring that we maintain a secure and controlled environment. The precision and reliability of this device have made it an invaluable tool in our toolbelt!

Lt. Matthew Purvis
UAS Team Leader

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office
Chattanooga, TN

"The Team recently utilized the [Edge Scout] detector at a large-scale county event. Our integration with TAK was seamless, and the RID detector performed flawlessly, identifying both our drones and two unknown drones in the vicinity. We found the product exceptionally user-friendly and cost-effective."

Charles M. Laird

State Fair Technical Specialist

"The Edge Scout proved invaluable at our state fair, allowing us to track an authorized drone flight that wasn’t operating within our TAK environment. Its capabilities gave us real-time situational awareness, ensuring safe and effective monitoring."

Mike Leckliter

Corona, CA Fire Department

"As a firefighter and paramedic with 18 years of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how critical situational awareness is, especially when operating aircraft over emergency scenes. The Edge Scout has been a game-changer for our department with its ability to pinpoint the location of drones—and more importantly, their pilots—operating within our emergency response areas."
