Dronetag’s selection falls under the theme “Counter-Drone and Protection Against Mass Low-Cost Threats,” reflecting the growing EU-level demand for scalable drone detection solutions. Of the 20 selected companies, six work in the counter-drone space, a clear indicator of where European defence priorities are heading.

What EUDIS Means for Dronetag
‍

The programme provides tailored support including more than 300 hours of expert coaching, six bootcamps held alongside major EU defence industry events, and direct access to defence end-users, investors, and EU institutions. For Dronetag, this translates into structured engagement with the institutional buyers and integration partners that form the primary audience for our detection products, Scout and RIDER.

Building on NATO DIANA
‍

This is not Dronetag's first recognition at the European defence level. In 2023, the company became the first Czech company selected for the NATO DIANA accelerator, chosen from a pool of over 1,300 applicants. The EUDIS selection continues that trajectory: Dronetag is now the only Czech company recognised at both the NATO and EU level in defence innovation programmes focused on airspace security.

Beyond Remote ID, a Growing Detection Capability
‍

Dronetag's detection systems are built on passive RF reception, capturing the signals drones broadcast without emitting anything in return. The result is a detection layer that integrates into existing infrastructure without interference and scales without the cost and complexity of active systems like radar or RF jamming.
‍

The foundation is Remote ID, the standardised identification protocol now mandated in the US and EU, but Dronetag's receivers already extend well beyond it. Scout supports aviation signals including ADS-B, ADS-L, FLARM, and UAT, providing a broader picture of airspace activity around critical sites.
‍

The roadmap goes further. Dronetag is developing capabilities to decode proprietary communication protocols such as DJI OcuSync, enabling detection of older commercial drones that lack standard Remote ID. Advanced FPV drone detection is next, including control link decoding and analog video signal capture with delivery to command systems. Later stages include GNSS-based multilateration for anti-spoofing and manufacturer-agnostic drone localisation. All R&D is kept fully in-house, enabling rapid iteration based on direct end-user feedback.
‍

Scout, the stationary long-range receiver, detects drones and their operators at distances up to 25 km with directional antennas. RIDER provides portable, wearable detection for patrol units and field operations. Both feed into the Dronetag platform for real-time visualization, alerting, and data export, and integrate directly into existing C2, ATAK, and UTM systems via API.

Czech Innovation in European Defence
‍

Dronetag was the first Czech company selected for NATO DIANA in 2023, and is now the first to join the EUDIS Business Accelerator. That combination places it among a very small group of European companies recognised by both NATO and the EU for defence innovation.
