AirSense is currently embedded in some of DJI's enterprise-level drones including the Mavic 2 Enterprise. The manufacturer now aims to make the same level of safety and security available to consumers. Instead of relying on sound or sight, ADS-B can identify planes and helicopters from miles away, and display the location on the screen of the remote.
All of this is part of a massive program on DJI’s part called “Elevating Safety.”
In their white paper, the company proposes a ten-point plan for drone safety and how DJI and others can work to improve that in the future.
The points made include installing ADS-B receivers on all drones weighing more than 250 grams as well as implementing geofencing and drone identification measures.
The 10 points from the white paper are as follows:
1. DJI will install ADS-B receivers in all new drones above 250 grams.
2. DJI will develop a new automatic warning for drone pilots flying at extended distances.
3. DJI will establish an internal Safety Standards Group to meet regulatory and customer expectations.
4. Aviation industry groups must develop standards for reporting drone incidents.
5. All drone manufacturers should install geofencing and remote identification.
6. Governments must require remote identification.
7. Governments must require a user-friendly knowledge test for new drone pilots.
8. Governments must clearly designate sensitive restriction areas.
9. Local authorities must be allowed to respond to drone threats that are clear and serious.
10. Governments must increase enforcement of laws against unsafe drone operation.
