AirSight, a U.S. airspace security and drone detection technology provider, has launched an Aeroscope Buy-Back Initiative designed to help operators replace legacy DJI Aeroscope systems with its AirGuard Essential drone detection platform. The program provides a $10,000 credit toward a new three-year AirGuard Essential agreement when an existing Aeroscope unit is traded in, regardless of the vendor that originally deployed the system. The initiative is aimed at organizations operating Aeroscope hardware following the end of production and manufacturer support. DJI discontinued production of its stationary Aeroscope system in 2023 and ended service support in April 2026, leaving existing users increasingly dependent on installed hardware as drone technologies and U.S. Remote ID requirements continue to evolve.
AirSight’s AirGuard platform combines drone detection sensors with RF and Remote ID technologies to help organizations modernize legacy DJI Aeroscope airspace monitoring systems.
AirGuard Essential combines enhanced radio frequency sensing with Remote ID detection in a layered architecture intended to provide broader coverage than the DJI-specific capabilities associated with legacy Aeroscope installations. The platform maintains detection capabilities for DJI aircraft while extending visibility to additional manufacturers including Autel, Skydio and Parrot. AirSight also reports support for custom RF communication links including ELRS and Crossfire. Remote ID adds another detection layer by receiving identification and location information broadcast by compliant unmanned aircraft. Under FAA rules, drones that are required to be registered, or are registered, generally must comply with Remote ID requirements, subject to defined exceptions. Combining Remote ID with RF sensing allows AirGuard Essential to monitor compliant aircraft while retaining an additional RF layer for drones using supported proprietary communication links.
The platform provides real-time drone tracking, Remote ID detection, enhanced RF detection and multi-sensor data integration through a unified interface. Available information can include aircraft position and, depending on the detected signal and aircraft configuration, operator location information that can assist security personnel with investigation and response.
AirSight is positioning the platform for airports, critical infrastructure, public venues, correctional facilities and other environments where security teams require ongoing awareness of nearby unmanned aircraft activity. Its AirGuard architecture consolidates detection information from multiple sensors into a common dashboard, allowing operators to monitor current activity, review alerts and analyze historical drone events from a single environment. The buy-back initiative provides organizations with a migration path from discontinued Aeroscope installations while adding support for Remote ID and a broader range of UAS technologies. AirSight’s AirGuard Essential platform also allows users to expand beyond the initial RF and Remote ID layers as airspace monitoring requirements change.
