AerialTAG – A new way to protect your airspace

Intelligent Signage for Airspace Awareness & Threat Mitigation

First Lines of Defence is Information

One of the first and most effective lines of defence in protecting sensitive locations is providing clear, accessible, and timely information to the public, particularly to those who may unknowingly pose a threat. In today’s landscape, where drones are widely available and easily operated, the risk of accidental and negligent airspace intrusion is higher than ever.

Many drone operators, whether recreational hobbyists, commercial pilots, or content creators, may have no idea that they are flying near a restricted or protected site. They are often unaware of the airspace classification, proximity to critical infrastructure, or the legal implications of their actions.

This lack of awareness can lead to security breaches, operational disruption, and legal consequences, not only for the site operator, but also for the drone pilot.

Inform. Deter. Escalate.

Rather than relying on outdated signs cluttered with small print, static content, unenforceable warnings, or signage that fails to meet national standards, AerialTAG provides a dynamic, intelligent solution, one that informs and educates, deters unwanted activity, and escalates response at the moment it matters most.

Inform and Educate

Provide accurate, accessible, and context-specific information the moment a drone user interacts with the sign. This empowers lawful operators to make informed decisions and avoid accidental violations.

Deter

The presence of a professional smart sign—especially one linked to active monitoring—sends a clear message that the site is protected and monitored. Most casual or opportunistic flyers will disengage at this point.

Escalate

Each NFC interaction can trigger an optional real-time alert via SMS, email, or webhook, allowing your security team to log the interaction or investigate further. Over time, scan data provides useful analytics on interest patterns and potential reconnaissance behaviour.

A Smarter Way to Deliver Airspace Awareness

AerialTAG signage combines physical deterrence with digital interactivity. Each professionally printed A4 outdoor-rated sign is embedded with a discreet NFC chip. When scanned by a smartphone, it instantly opens a site-specific landing page containing:

Local airspace classifications and drone restrictions
Clear legal references (e.g. Air Navigation Order 2016, Civil Aviation Act 1982)
Contact details for security or site personnel
Maps and guidance for safe flight areas (if applicable)
Emergency procedures and reporting options

This is not just a sign—it’s a proactive mitigation tool.

Key Features:

A4 durable signage with integrated stealth NFC tag
Fully customisable digital landing page per sign or site
Free email and webhook alerts when signs are scanned, with optional SMS notifications available.
Geotagged deployment tracking via secure 2FA cloud dashboard
Remote content updates—no physical sign changes required

Individually Programmed. Visually Consistent

Each AerialTAG is uniquely intelligent

While your signs may look the same – sharing consistent branding, design and messaging – every tag is individually programmed. This means when someone scans a tag, they’re directed to a customised landing page relevant to that exact tag’s location or purpose.

Whether it’s a drone pilot preparing for take-off, a hobbyist exploring nearby airspace, or a film crew operating under specific permissions, you control what they see — dynamically and precisely.

Designed for the Real World

This solution is ideal for:

Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) sites
Prisons and secure compounds
Airports and heliports
Stadiums
Film productions and live events
Power stations, substations, water facilities
Local authority buildings, parks, and restricted zones

Each sign is built to endure the elements, easy to deploy, and fully configurable from a central cloud based dashboard.

You can even change the destination content without physically updating the sign—perfect for adapting messaging to different operational conditions, events, or emerging threats.

Prevention Is Always Better Than Response

In the evolving landscape of drone threats and low-cost aerial access, it’s no longer enough to rely solely on enforcement after an incident. Prevention must start at the edge—with early warnings, education, and clear deterrents.

Our smart signage provides an affordable, scalable, and intelligent solution to start that process—turning unknown threats into informed individuals, and informed individuals into non-threats.
