# SkySafe Introduces FliteGrid, A Community-Powered Initiative to Build the World’s First National Drone Tracking Network

latest insights

#### “A drone strike poses a threat, but the systems designed to defend it are vylnerable, too.”

- The Washington Post, June 4th

## *Gain Real-Time Visibility into Drone Activity, Earn Rewards, and Strengthen Our Airspace Together*

America’s skies are changing fast. Millions of drones fly above us–delivering packages, surveying land, capturing imagery, and supporting first responders. Yet, the United States’ air traffic control system was never designed to monitor or log activity at this scale. This has led to a significant gap in our national airspace awareness, [fears of potential drone attacks](https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/new-york-governor-wants-trump-take-action-drone-attack-risks-2025-07-14/) during high profile events, and [instances of widespread hysteria](https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/28/politics/white-house-drones) over unidentified drone activity.

Today, a perfect storm of market demand, technological capability, regulatory alignment, and public awareness all point to a simple truth: now is the time to build a smarter, more connected airspace.

For years, SkySafe has focused on advancing the intelligence layer of the skies—detecting, analyzing, and understanding drone activity in real-time and at scale. As the global leader in drone detection and airspace intelligence, SkySafe is uniquely positioned to help shape what comes next. That’s why we’re introducing [**FliteGrid**](https://www.flitegrid.io/): a national, community-powered drone tracking network that builds on our existing capabilities to deliver the first true nationwide coverage.

FliteGrid invites individuals and organizations to contribute to a collective layer of awareness that strengthens the airspace for everyone.

This isn’t a new direction for SkySafe. It’s a natural extension of our mission. Our core focus remains on delivering the most advanced intelligence platform for governments, enterprises, and critical infrastructure. With FliteGrid, we’re creating an opportunity for the broader public to engage with that vision, and to participate in building the foundation of safer, more transparent skies.

## How It Works

Participation in FliteGrid is simple, secure, and impactful:

- **Get a Sensor** – *Anyone* in the U.S. can order a compact, energy-efficient sensor. No technical expertise required.
- **Easy Setup** – Install your sensor in a high location, such as a rooftop or balcony, ensuring the sensor has a clear, open view of the sky.
- **Automatically Contribute Data** – Each sensor collects and shares real-time drone data, enhancing the SkySafe network, increasing coverage area, and improving the safety and security of our national airspace.
- **Earn** – Receive rewards for providing valuable real-time drone data to the [FliteGrid DePIN network](https://www.flitegrid.io/).

This collaborative model both strengthens airspace intelligence and empowers individuals to play an active role in shaping safer skies.

## The Power of Community, Backed by Proven Technology

FliteGrid represents a new chapter for SkySafe’s mission: combining the power of detection, advanced analytics, and community data to deliver the world’s most complete picture of drone activity.

This initiative is rooted in transparency, trust, and a commitment to the public good. Built on a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), FliteGrid uses decentralized technology to coordinate activities between distributed participants in exchange for rewards and incentives. Members have access to real-time drone activity in their area, and can view the collective impact of the network through live coverage maps and community statistics.

Each sensor deployed builds the foundation for the nation’s first comprehensive drone tracking network. The more participants who join and submit data, the more open, accountable, and strong our national airspace becomes.

## Looking Ahead

This is a multi-year initiative, and we’re just getting started. The possibilities for consumers, for public safety, and for SkySafe’s customers are inspiring. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for a new era of airspace intelligence, one built on data, collaboration, and trust.

As participation grows, SkySafe will expand the network globally, supporting countries adopting new drone Remote ID standards and reinforcing our role as the world’s leader in airspace intelligence.

By uniting communities, industry, and government around a shared data platform, SkySafe is creating the intelligence layer for the skies of tomorrow.

Join Us. Help shape the future of airspace intelligence. Order your FliteGrid sensor today and be part of the network securing and enabling our skies for good.
