Open the map without friction
The public picture is available without payment. Sign-in is reserved for features that need an account, such as history, receiver ownership and saved workflows.
THE LOWER SKY / SHARED EVIDENCE
A public map worth trusting.
Layer400 is an independent UK-developed Remote ID network. The goal is simple: make compatible local broadcasts useful at network scale without pretending the result is complete, official or certain.

PRODUCT PRINCIPLES
Credibility lives in the operational details.
Clear onboarding, scoped device credentials, resilient queues, explicit data age and recoverable systems matter just as much as the map.
State what the data cannot prove
Layer400 shows received broadcasts, not every drone. It does not label a flight legal or illegal, infer a route through a gap or turn a model match into identity proof.
Publish less than we receive
Exact receiver positions, account identities and sensitive broadcast evidence do not belong on an anonymous global map.
One receiver, one identity
A feeder uses a device credential that can be rotated or revoked. It never needs the contributor's reusable account password.
Coverage grows from evidence
A station becomes meaningful when it sends accepted observations. Coverage, rewards and leaderboards should never be created from a registration record alone.
Charge for added work, not existence
Long history, operations, alerts and contracted integrations fund the service. The free live view remains a first-class product.
NETWORK PRIORITIES
Build receiver coverage, then scale.
The network expands through repeatable receiver deployments and measurements from operating stations.
CURRENT SERVICE
Public live map, accounts, controlled fixed Wi-Fi receiver onboarding, signed ingest and privacy-filtered current tracks.
