About BLIP
BLIP is Unifly's broadcast location and identification device for drones. It transmits the aircraft's identity and position so nearby receivers, authorities and unmanned-traffic-management systems can identify a drone in shared airspace.
The compact unit fits into a drone's operational equipment and supplies identification data for compliance, traffic awareness and incident response. BLIP works as part of Unifly's wider UTM software, linking the aircraft's broadcast signal to monitoring and airspace-management workflows.
