Blue Mark DB 120 Drone Beacon Remote ID Module

Key Features

🔊 Active Beacon Transmission

• Broadcasts a signal on recognized aviation frequencies that can be detected by equipped aircraft.

• Helps alert manned pilots to drones operating nearby.

📍 Position and Identity

• Provides GNSS-based position data and an identifier so aircraft can understand where the drone is located relative to them.

📡 Compatibility

• Designed to work with existing aircraft avionics and traffic awareness systems equipped to receive the beacon signal.

⚖️ Lightweight and Low-Profile

• Compact form factor makes it suitable for integration with small to medium drones without significantly impacting weight or flight dynamics.

🔋 Long Endurance

• Optimized for extended flight operations with efficient power use so it doesn’t drastically affect drone battery life.

Purpose and Use Cases

✈️ Airspace Safety

• Improves detectability of drones to pilots of manned aircraft — especially useful near airports, heliports, and shared airspace corridors.

🚁 BVLOS and UAS Integration

• Supports safer operations during Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights by increasing the likelihood that nearby aircraft can issue avoidance action.

📌 Flight Operations in Controlled Airspace

• Can be part of risk mitigation practices for operations near IFR/VFR routes and for compliance with local safety recommendations or future regulations.

Why It Matters

The Drone Beacon DB100 contributes to reducing collision risk between UAS and manned aircraft by adding an active, identifiable broadcast signal that pilots and traffic systems can detect. It’s a tool for enhanced situational awareness and a step toward safer integration of drones into the national airspace.

Typical Integration

• Mounted to the underside or body of a drone

• Connected to the drone’s power or operating battery

• Works in conjunction with flight planning and risk assessment processes
