About this app

D.A.R.S. (Drone Awareness Relay System) turns your Android device into a passive drone Remote ID detection scan receiver. It listens for the identification signals that modern drones broadcast over WiFi and Bluetooth and shows you what's flying nearby — in real time, on a live map.

Know who's sharing your airspace before problems arise. Whether you fly yourself, manage a site, or simply want awareness of nearby drone activity, D.A.R.S. gives you a clear, unified picture.

PRIVACY
No account, no user tracking. Your location is used on your device to scan and to measure distance to detected drones — it is not sent to us.

GOOD TO KNOW
• D.A.R.S. detects drones that broadcast Remote ID; drones not transmitting Remote ID cannot be detected.
• Detection range depends on your device, surroundings and the drone.
• D.A.R.S. is a passive receiver — it does not control, jam or interfere with any drone.
• Independent third-party app; not affiliated with or endorsed by any drone manufacturer or government agency.
