Anyone can listen. Everyone can see.

cyBRRD is the open drone-tracking platform. Open-source sensors anyone can run, a free live map anyone can watch, and services for the pilots and property managers who need the record.

Witnessed, not decreed.

A drone's broadcast is a claim. Any map can repeat a claim. cyBRRD records the witnesses: which sensors heard it, when, against a trusted clock, and whether what they heard agrees.

Every track on the globe carries a grade, and the evidence behind the grade is on the screen with it.

We build the record to the Daubert standard, the test United States federal courts apply to scientific evidence. A Flight Operation Report is made to be examined by an insurer, a regulator or a court.

Flight study 1: Lincoln, game night

One flight, seen four ways: the ground, the witness, the thing itself, and the record.

Map of a drone's track looping south of a stadium — The ground. The flight's track south of the stadium, redrawn from the globe.

A full football stadium at night with a marching band on the field — The thing itself. Game night, from the stands.

A pickup truck tailgate holding a BRRDfeeder sensor rig, laptops and a portable power station — The witness. A BRRDfeeder on a tailgate, a few blocks north.

Sample drawing of a flight path lifted off the ground by its altitude — The record. Altitude along the track, with the moments each sensor heard it. Sample drawing until this flight's telemetry is exported.

The form follows the preparatory collages of Christo and Jeanne-Claude: the idea, the ground it will occupy, and the work itself. A new study every week. See every study

The cyBRRD live globe: a dark street map divided into hexagons, one outlined where a drone was recently heard

A slice of the sky, live

The globe is free and needs no account. It shows every drone the network hears, as it flies, with the Remote ID it broadcasts.

No track ≠ no drone. Only aircraft that broadcast Remote ID, within range of a sensor, appear.

BRRDfeeder only listens. It never transmits to, jams, or interferes with any aircraft.

Open the live globe

Start with a sensor

BRRDfeeder turns a small ARM64 board into a Remote ID sensor on the cyBRRD network. It hears the drones around you and puts them on the map. Free and open source under AGPL-3.0.

BRRDfeeder Orange

A kit that arrives with BRRDfeeder installed. The base kit is a compute module on a carrier board. The full kit adds the GPS receiver, the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios, and external antennas.

Prices and ship dates are being set. Reserve now and we will write when they are.

Services for people who need the record

cyBRRD Pilots

An independent record of every flight you make.

Fly with a BRRDfeeder running and pull a Flight Operation Report for any pilot, crew, aircraft, site or date range. Hand it to a client, an insurer, the FAA or a lawyer. It was recorded by a witness, so it is not a log you could have edited.

In development with working pilots.

How cyBRRD Pilots will work

cyBRRD Property

Know what flies over the ground you manage.

Warden gateways and Sentinel sensors watch your airspace. Draw a geofence, get an alert the moment a drone crosses it, and pull a report on every flight over your site, last night or last quarter.

In development. Self-install kits are planned.
