DF & geolocation applications
Military spectrum monitoring & EMSO
CRFS technology helps military operators dominate the spectrum by identifying and locating threats and turning real-time signal capture and emitter data into actionable intelligence.
Defense against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
RF monitoring systems detect and geolocate military and modified UAVs in real-time using techniques such as triangulation and multilateration, to help respond to threats swiftly.
Locating sources of RF interference
To pinpoint the direction of an interfering RF signal, sensors measure the time delay of the received signal at each antenna and triangulate the signal’s source location.
Border security monitoring
By precisely determining the location of a threat and then monitoring enemy communications, military forces can respond rapidly to incidents in border areas.
Aviation & aviation safety
By tracking the positions of aircraft, controllers can ensure safe separation and correct use of airspace.
Search & rescue operations
DF technology helps locate distress signals from emergency beacons used by aircraft and ships.
Law enforcement & security
DF and geolocation can help security agencies locate the sources of suspicious or unauthorized communication, aiding in counterterrorism efforts and criminal investigations.
Spaceport asset protection
Geolocation techniques are used to track the positions of spacecraft and satellites, ensuring accurate communication and navigation during space missions.
