Luftwacht launches German drone-sighting reporting platform

Luftwacht has launched a new drone-sighting reporting platform for Germany, designed to collect and structure public reports for authorities and security users. The system captures location, time, size, flight direction and behaviour, and routes reports into a central situational picture for police, airport security, the Bundespolizei and the Bundesnetzagentur.

The platform is aimed at improving coordination around drone activity near airports and other sensitive sites, where sightings can disrupt operations and trigger security checks. It directs urgent cases to police emergency number 110 and makes clear that it is not a substitute for emergency calling.

The service reflects rising attention in Germany to drone detection and reporting, particularly around airports and critical infrastructure. The available material identifies Luftwacht as a dedicated “drone reporting system for Germany”, but gives no additional details on ownership, funding or a formal launch structure.
