Two Complementary Product Lines
Guardian RF hardware is designed to provide persistent RF-based awareness across the full spectrum of low-altitude drone activity. The platform is built around two complementary product lines that address distinct but overlapping threat classes.
Scout
Scout is optimized for the detection and classification of commercially available and government-operated drones. It passively observes control links and proprietary telemetry used by COTS and GOTS platforms to provide continuous visibility into routine and anomalous drone activity.
Scout is designed for rapid deployment and sustained operation. Low power consumption and self-contained networking enable wide distribution without infrastructure dependency, supporting dense coverage across urban, infrastructure, and event environments.
Target Set
COTS and GOTS drones
Power Draw
10W average
Connectivity
LTE and LEO backhaul
Setup Time
~60 seconds
Operation

Design Philosophy
Guardian RF hardware is built on principles that diverge from traditional counter-UAS thinking.
Low SWaP-C
Small size, low power, affordable cost enables broad deployment
Attritable
Designed to be deployed, not protected. Replace, don't repair.
Passive
RF receive only. No emissions, no interference, no spectrum issues.
Edge Processing
Detection and classification at the sensor. Minimal backhaul.
Full Spectrum
Full Spectrum extends detection to non-cooperative and non-compliant drones, including analog FPV and homebuilt systems. It employs a wideband SDR suite to capture RF activity outside standard telemetry channels.
This capability enables signal fingerprinting, attribution, and pattern-of-life analysis where cooperative identification mechanisms are absent. Full Spectrum is intended to complement Scout deployments in environments where improvised or modified drones are a credible concern.
