The FAA’s Part 108 NPRM: A Game-Changer for BVLOS Drone Operations


In 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration released its long-awaited Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for Part 108, marking a major shift in how commercial drones will be allowed to operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS). This long-anticipated rule proposes a structured path to unlock the full economic and operational potential of drones—enabling applications in infrastructure inspection, public safety, delivery, agriculture, and more.


But with greater opportunity comes greater responsibility. As airspace becomes more crowded and complex, situational awareness and compliance readiness will be critical.


🛡️ Why Situational Awareness Is Non-Negotiable


Under the proposed Part 108:

  • Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) requirements will be standardized.

  • Operators will need to demonstrate airspace awareness and risk mitigation capabilities.

  • Integration with Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems will become central to approval.


In short, drone operators, service providers, and security stakeholders must show they can monitor, detect, and react to nearby drones—whether friend, foe, or unknown.


Meet the Compliance Challenge with DroneTracker


The ADS DroneTracker is designed for exactly this moment.

This portable, plug-and-play solution detects drones in real time using Remote ID signals—without needing the drone pilot’s cooperation. It identifies:


  • Drone type and serial number

  • Pilot location

  • Flight path and altitude

  • Distance and direction from base unit


With on-device logging and cloud-based alerting, the DroneTracker ensures continuous situational awareness—making it ideal for:


✅ BVLOS operators seeking regulatory approval

✅ Public safety agencies preparing for advanced drone deployments

✅ Security firms needing mobile airspace intelligence

✅ Event managers or enterprise users operating in sensitive zones


DroneTracker + UTM: Ready for the Future


One of the most powerful features of DroneTracker is its ability to integrate into UTM ecosystems. With an open API and data sharing options, DroneTracker can:


  • Feed real-time telemetry into UTM or Aerial Data Service Providers (ADSP) systems

  • Support BVLOS fleet coordination and airspace deconfliction

  • Serve as a foundation for DAA compliance frameworks


This ensures your operation stays compliant—not just today, but as Part 108 evolves into final regulation.


Flexible Use Cases and Deployment Models


Whether you're:

  • Conducting utility line inspections

  • Managing a fleet of delivery drones

  • Protecting a live concert or sports event

  • Monitoring emergency response operations


The DroneTracker offers flexibility and scalability to match your needs. Options include:

  • Buy, lease, or rent models

  • Mobile kits with power bank and tablet included

  • Private-label options for enterprise or integrators


Why Early Adoption Matters


Part 108 isn’t just a regulatory formality. It’s a signal of the FAA’s direction:

  • Proactive operators will win regulatory approval faster

  • Data-backed operations will become the norm

  • Those without detection may be grounded—literally and legally


By deploying a DroneTracker today, you’re showing regulators, clients, and stakeholders that you take airspace responsibility seriously.


Conclusion: Your Path to BVLOS Success Starts Now


As the FAA reshapes the drone operating landscape through Part 108, the winners will be those who adapt early—and smartly.


The ADS DroneTracker gives you the tools to see what's in the sky, protect your mission, and stay compliant in the evolving regulatory environment.
