Future-Ready Airspace Awareness: How DroneTracker Supports the FAA’s New BVLOS and UTM Vision

As the FAA accelerates its push toward Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations and performance-based airspace regulation, a new chapter in drone integration is unfolding. From Part 108 proposed rules to the maturation of UTM (Uncrewed Traffic Management) infrastructure, the demand for real-time, interoperable situational awareness tools is rapidly rising.

This evolution brings an urgent question to the forefront:

Is your drone program—or your client’s security operation—ready for the next generation of airspace oversight?

At Aerial Defense Systems, we designed the DroneTracker with UTM compliance to be more than just a portable detection tool. It’s a flexible, API-enabled data bridge—built to plug into the UTM ecosystem of tomorrow, today.

What’s Changing in Drone Regulation?

With the FAA’s recent Part 108 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), Remote ID is just the beginning. The upcoming framework pushes agencies and operators toward:

BVLOS standardization
Real-time airspace awareness
Network-based data sharing between drones, operators, and central airspace services
Cooperative compliance through UAS Service Suppliers (USS) and UTM platforms

Put simply: The days of isolated, manual airspace monitoring are over.

How DroneTracker Enables UTM and BVLOS

Operations

Drone Detection on BVLOS flight path Built for UTM Integration & BVLOS Compliance — Drone Detection on BVLOS flight path

The ADS DroneTracker is already engineered for this future.

✅ Live Data Feeds via APIOur system can transmit real-time drone detection data—including location, serial number (via Remote ID), flight path, and telemetry—directly into UTM platforms, command centers, or agency-specific dashboards.

✅ Compatible with USS and ADSP ArchitectureDroneTracker can serve as a detection node that supports Airspace Awareness Service Providers (AASP/ADSPs) or USS by helping them fill the visibility gap, especially in non-cooperative or low-altitude environments.

✅ Supports FAA’s Vision of Performance-Based RulesUnder BVLOS proposals, agencies must demonstrate detect-and-avoid capabilities and maintain airspace visibility—especially near people or infrastructure. DroneTracker fulfills these use cases as both a portable and fixed monitoring solution.

For Security, Enterprise & Public Safety Teams on the Move

DroneTracker’s form factor and modular design make it ideal for:

VIP protection and mobile security deployments
Event-based airspace monitoring
Drone deconfliction at public gatherings
Supporting law enforcement drone teams in real-time BVLOS ops

By feeding detection data into UTM systems, DroneTracker helps organizations comply with FAA guidance before it's mandatory—and without needing to overhaul existing infrastructure.

The Bottom Line

The FAA’s next era of drone regulation is clear:📡 Integrated. Real-time. Data-driven.

Organizations that want to stay ahead must invest in solutions that aren’t just reactive—but proactive.

The DroneTracker is your bridge between today’s detection needs and tomorrow’s UTM mandates.
