RF sensor integrations for unmanned systems

SIGINT payloads for UGVs

Battle-proven software-defined RF sensors technology for integration into unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).

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

Equipping UGVs with RF sensors is a cost-effective way to extend cUAS and air-defence coverage. UGVs with passive sensing capabilities can deliver early-warning RF detection, tipping and cueing other sensors and effectors.

Designed for mobility and modularity, the RFeye Node integrates easily onto tracked or wheeled UGVs. CRFS’ passive EW payload works with existing power and autonomy architectures, supporting long-duration missions.

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