Lukas Brchl is CEO & co-founder of Dronetag, a manufacturer of drone identification solutions. Lukas envisions safer airspace through innovative unmanned traffic management and digitally visible drones. Dronetag, led by Lukas, is a key player in Remote ID module sales in the US and EU, Dronetag is recognized for both its development and sales volume. Its solutions are widely integrated into UTM, C-UAS and fleet management systems. In late 2023, Dronetag was accepted into the NATO DIANA accelerator, where it will leverage its civilian market expertise to drive aerospace innovations and contribute to a safer, more advanced future.
Lukas built his first drone back in 2013, pioneering new concepts in aerial photography years before the drone industry boomed. In 2019 a year after winning the Space Application Hackathon, he founded Dronetag with the same inventive power. He graduated from Czech Technical University in Prague, where he still contributes to machine vision research programs. As Remote ID regulations are continuously updated, Lukas actively engages with communities focused on ASTM and ASD-STAN standardizations. His passion, except for drones and underlying hardware, includes a wide range of space technologies and software development.
During his career, Lukas grew a unique skillset combining hardware manufacturing, software development, and drone flying. Switching between a back-end developer position, a drone aerial photography specialist, and his subsequent academic involvement in machine vision research proved invaluable in his current role as the startup founder. Among his most significant success belongs 1st place in the Galileo Masters competition, organization of the HackFIT hackathon in the Czech Republic, participation in creating the Remote ID whitepaper for ASD-STAN, and the latest seed investment received by Dronetag from Y Soft Ventures.
