[SatNews] They have partnered to provide GPS tracking for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).

Drone-Mods.com has launched its Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) GPS Locator, an effective and reliable GPS solution for retrieving an aerial vehicle in the event of a fly-away. The Drone-Mods.com UAV Locator is a small, lightweight, self-powered, standalone GPS module that attaches to your aerial vehicle. If the pilot loses site of the vehicle, or experiences a fly-away, they simply call the phone number assigned to the UAV and within a few minutes, the pilot will receive a text message and an email containing a Google Maps link with the GPS (latitude/longitude) coordinates of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

The Drone Mods UAV Locator is powered by GTX Corp. “We tested many tracking solutions prior to working with GTX and discovered they were not reliable enough to report an accurate position each and every time and many used outdated protocols,” said Bob Lorincz, president of Drone-Mods.com. “We are extremely satisfied with the product and service GTX provides us and look forward to a long lasting partnership.”

• Powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion 1300 mAh battery that will last up to 12 days
