The UAVfind Field Tracking System is an ideal way to track your Drone, RC copter or plane. The transceiver weighs less than 50 grams, including its own battery, and is extremely rugged so it will continue to operate even after a crash. The handheld locator uses Doppler automatic direction finding, similar to Lojack vehicle tracking systems.

The locator can track a lost drone up to 2 miles away line-of-sight. The rechargeable battery in the transceiver can operate in standby for up to one month or be continuously tracked for up to 8 days. Because the system uses point-to-point RF, no cellular service is needed for its operation.

We use the proven Marco Polo System which has everything you need to track one UAV for $219. Two additional transceivers can be added to work with the same locator for $93.95 each.

The operation is as simple as pushing one button and following the directional arrow. No manual sweeping of the unit to find the maximum signal strength is required since the handheld locator uses automatic Doppler direction finding.

If the transceiver is out of range when you begin searching you can place the handheld locator into continuous search mode, when you come within range of the transceiver they lock into a synchronized communications mode (sync channel mode) and begin exchanging digital packets once every 5 seconds. The locator calculates the distance and direction to the transceiver after each 30 msec communications session.

The transceiver on your drone never transmits unless commanded to by the locator so there is no possibility of the transceiver interfering with or desensitizing your on-board radios during flight. The transceiver can remain in standby mode "listening" for a locator's search signal for up to one month or be actively tracked by the locator for up to 8 days.
