Remote ID Detection / OPSx Situational Awareness

Know the airspace. See the operation.

TFOdev builds deployable Remote ID detection units and OPSx tools that fuse drone activity, live video, mapping, radio context, field reports, and public safety data into one operational picture.

Operational Contract Focus

Built for public safety, emergency management, and event command.

The work is not just a receiver or a livestream. The contract objective is a usable awareness stack: hardware that detects nearby aircraft broadcasts, software that places that information on a map, and workflows that help command staff make decisions without hunting through disconnected tools.

01

Detect

Remote ID awareness from Bluetooth and Wi-Fi sources, including an NDAA-compliant fixed detection unit option for agency deployments.

02

Correlate

Drone, control station, responder, map, parcel, FAA, 911, and field-report data presented in a single operational interface.

03

Respond

Tools for incident response, event overwatch, evidence capture, mission planning, and multi-user collaboration.

About TFOdev

Field-built systems from a responder-first background.

TFOdev is the continuation of years spent building drone, GIS, AR overlay, live video, and public safety awareness tools around real operational problems.

Background

My work in two-way RF radio, software development, and public safety technology started in 2004. The drone work began in 2018, including computer vision projects such as early stand-counting work in agriculture and contract development for Eagle Eye Intelligence in Boca Raton, Florida, now Strax Intelligence Group.

Later that year I founded Responder Air, one of the first 911 AR overlay solutions in the drone space. The platform placed real-time address and street information directly onto live drone video for public safety operations.

Responder Cast followed as a live streaming tool for agencies and supported city, state, and federal teams across riots, hurricane disasters, and other public safety operations. It was acquired by GenPac Drones on April 22, 2021.

Small Agency Support

Large agencies are not the only teams that need airspace awareness. Volunteer SAR teams, small police and fire departments, emergency managers, and community event groups often face the same operational risk with far less budget.

TFOdev keeps that reality at the center of the work: practical hardware, commodity-radio experiments, and deployment models that can scale down without stripping away the operational value.

I have provided drone detection support for community events, public gatherings, and first responder operations. The goal is to keep useful awareness tools within reach of the teams that need them most.

Remote ID Detection Units

Three Remote ID options for field and fixed deployments.

TFOdev Remote ID detection units are built for agencies, response teams, and public event operators that need practical drone awareness in the field. The lineup includes Nano USB, Nano Advanced with OPSx and Wi-Fi, and the Fixed Unit. All detection units cover 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum. The Fixed Unit is built around NDAA-compliant hardware for agency deployment requirements.

  • Nano USB for compact plug-in Remote ID detection workflows.
  • Nano Advanced with OPSx and Wi-Fi for portable field awareness.
  • NDAA-compliant Fixed Unit option for permanent or semi-permanent sites.
  • 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrum coverage across all detection units.
  • Bluetooth detection is currently in beta.
  • Real-time drone and control station visualization.
  • GIS integration for incident context, geospatial review, and area monitoring.
  • Support for CalTopo-oriented response workflows and operational map layers.
  • Evidence-friendly logs and event review paths for after-action documentation.
  • Commodity hardware and custom firmware experimentation for lower-cost deployments.

OPSx Situational Awareness

More than video. More than drones.

OPSx is designed to combine information from multiple domains into a common operational picture. The goal is simple: help responders, event managers, command staff, and stakeholders understand what is happening across a large, dynamic footprint.

  • Live aerial video with AR overlays and ground-based video support.
  • Voice communications context and responder collaboration.
  • Mapping, geospatial awareness, public safety layers, and resource visibility.
  • Real-time field reporting and multi-user operational coordination.
  • Remote ID awareness and drone activity monitoring.
  • Open-air intelligence and SDR/RF-derived situational awareness where appropriate.

OPSx Lite Ground Team Viewer

One live view, swipeable between feeds.

OPSx Lite gives ground teams one active video view at a time. Swipe left or right to move between available feeds while keeping push-to-talk audio and GPS broadcasting close at hand.

  • Single-video interface with left and right swipe feed switching.
  • Push-to-talk audio for ground team communication.
  • GPS broadcasting so command can maintain field-team location awareness.
  • Command-view foundation without the full OPSx toolset.

Field Awareness

Designed around what command actually needs to see.

Situational awareness is created by combining live sources, map context, communications discipline, and RF awareness while protecting sensitive operational information.
