What is LADS™?

Low Altitude Drone Sequencing

LADS™ is the core technology platform developed by Sodara™ Labs Inc. It continuously captures Remote ID signals from all nearby drones, sequences their trajectories in low-altitude airspace, and delivers real-time situational awareness through an interactive 3D map dashboard.

Unlike radar-based counter-drone systems, LADS™ leverages the FAA Remote ID mandate to provide passive, zero-emission detection that requires no spectrum licensing, no line-of-sight limitations, and no complex RF infrastructure. Deploy a LADS LINK receiver, and you're monitoring airspace in minutes.

No radar equipmentNo spectrum licenseNo emissionsPlug-and-play

Signal Capture

Intercepts FAA Remote ID broadcasts from all nearby drones passively

Position Resolve

Resolves precise 3D position, altitude, speed, and heading in real time

Path Sequencing

Sequences drone trajectories and predicts flight paths continuously

Threat Analysis

Classifies authorization status, detects conflicts, and flags anomalies

100% Passive Detection

LADS™ emits no signals — it listens to what drones are already broadcasting under the FAA Remote ID mandate, making it undetectable and maintenance-free.

Purpose-Built Hardware

Meet LADS LINK

The field-deployed receiver that powers the platform

A LADS LINK is a compact, plug-and-play receiver deployed at your site. It passively captures FAA Remote ID broadcasts from all nearby drones and streams the data to your LADS Hub dashboard in real time. No configuration, no spectrum licensing, no maintenance.

Deploy multiple LINKs across your property for overlapping detection coverage. Smart handoff ensures seamless tracking as drones move between LINK zones, with position continuity checks to eliminate GPS artifacts.

Optional Add-Ons

TinySA Spectrum Analyzer — RF environment monitoring across 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz drone bands. Detects interference and jamming attempts.

ADS-B Receiver — RTL-SDR dongle for manned aircraft tracking at 1090 MHz, creating a unified airspace picture of both drones and aircraft.

Weather Station Sensors — On-site wind speed, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure for real-time environmental awareness and flight safety.

SDI Video via BNC — SDI video input for live camera feeds streamed directly through the LINK to your LADS Hub dashboard.

Platform Capabilities

Everything You Need for Airspace Awareness

A comprehensive suite of tools for drone detection, tracking, visualization, and compliance — all powered by LADS™

Real-Time Drone Tracking

Instantly detect drones via FAA Remote ID. See position, altitude, speed, heading, operator location, and serial number as they fly. Type-aware animated markers show quadcopter, fixed-wing, helicopter, and VTOL icons.

3D Airspace Visualization

Interactive LADS map with terrain-aware altitude positioning, 3D flight trail ribbons, drop lines, RF coverage domes, and building extrusion. Toggle between 2D and immersive 3D mode.

Geofence Management

Draw circles, polygons, or hex grids directly on the map with altitude bounds. Receive instant alerts when drones breach protected zones. Configurable entry/exit triggers with audio warnings.

Multi-LINK Detection

Deploy multiple LADS LINK receivers across your site for distributed coverage. Smart LINK algorithmic handoff, position continuity checking, and automatic failover between LINKs.

FAA Airspace Integration

Live LAANC grid overlay, TFR tracking (dual-source FAA polling), NOTAM monitoring, 7 static FAA airspace layers, planning-ahead alerts, and real-time compliance checking against all restrictions.

RF Coverage Analysis

See exactly how far each LINK can detect drones based on terrain and placement. Interactive coverage maps show signal strength zones so you can optimize receiver positions for complete site coverage.

Video Streaming & DVR

RTMP ingest from drone cameras with low-latency HLS playback. 30-second DVR scrubbing, auto-recording linked to flights, clip creation, multi-angle synchronized playback, and Picture-in-Picture.

Flight History & Analytics

Full historical record of all drone activity. Per-flight stats, CSV/KML/GPX export, synchronized map replay, detection timeline with activity heatmaps, and automated report generation.

Simple Deployment

Up and Running in Minutes

No complex installation, no spectrum licensing, no RF expertise required. Three steps to complete airspace awareness.

Deploy LINKs

Place LADS LINK receivers at your site. Each LINK is a compact AI edge computer with a DroneTag RIDER USB receiver. Plug in power, connect to your network, and the LINK auto-registers with your LADS Hub over an encrypted network connection.

Detect

LINKs passively capture FAA Remote ID broadcasts from all nearby drones in real time. Bluetooth 5 and Wi-Fi NAN signals are decoded into structured telemetry — position, altitude, speed, operator location, serial number — and streamed to the Hub at 1 Hz per drone.

Manage

Access your LADS Hub from any browser. See drones on a real-time 3D map with geofence alerts, conflict detection, airspace compliance checking, flight history, video feeds, and role-based team collaboration. All from one dashboard.
