RF sensor integrations for unmanned systems

SIGINT payloads for UAVs

Battle-proven software-defined RF sensors technology for integration into fixed-wing, tethered, or rotary UAVs (Groups 2–5).

SIGINT payloads provide passive signal detection, onboard processing, and real-time geolocation capabilities for emitters of interest across a wide range of mission scenarios.  

Integrating a SIGINT payload onto a UAV extends line-of-sight and enables long-range detection and geolocation. This provides operators with enhanced situational awareness while they are situated far away from high-risk areas.

Platform-aware integration techniques mitigate platform-generated emissions, ensuring RF sensing performance is preserved, and the mission is unaffected by onboard interference. 

A game-changer, offering end-users an incredibly versatile asset that can cover vast land and sea areas.
