DeTect today announced the release of the free public version of the DroneWatcher™ app that makes smartphones and tablets using the Android™ operating system into detectors for consumer drones and small unmanned aerial vehicles.

The DroneWatcher app detects, tracks, alerts and records information on 95% of commercially available drones using advanced signals intelligence technology developed by Panama City based DeTect.
