The Dutch municipality of Enschede has restarted a drone detection trial, this time using Remote ID, with security company RJ Safety & Security, BlueMark Innovations and the Medisch Spectrum Twente hospital. The city tried permanent drone detection in 2019 with a DJI AeroScope.
The hospital provides a site for the equipment because it has its own helipad used by trauma helicopters. The trial uses BlueMark Innovations' DroneScout DS230, which receives the Direct Remote ID signals most drones send over wifi and Bluetooth, except C0-class drones.
