Hardware

Three sensors.
One operating picture.

Passive RF sensing across the full low-altitude threat set, from off-the-shelf quadcopters to improvised FPV. Every sensor feeds the same platform: no emissions, no infrastructure burden.

01 · Primary sensor

Scout

Scout is optimized for detection and classification of commercially available and government-operated drones. It passively observes control links and proprietary telemetry to provide continuous visibility into routine and anomalous drone activity, with real-time aircraft and drone-pilot geolocation.

Sub-10W power and self-contained networking enable dense distribution without infrastructure dependency. From case to coverage in sixty seconds, on poles, vehicles, and rooftops.

Target set

COTS and GOTS drones

Power draw

Sub-10W

Connectivity

LTE and LEO backhaul

Setup time

~60 seconds

Operation

Persistent, unattended

02 · Fixed-site variant

Scout-X

Persistent, wide-area detection. Scout-X is built for rooftop and mast deployment, with a weatherproof enclosure, wired power, and months-long unattended operation. Integrated mesh networking extends coverage across distributed sites, so a single facility or an entire portfolio runs one continuous sensing layer.

Design philosophy

Low SWaP-C

Small size, low power, commodity cost, coverage density the mission actually demands.

Attritable

Replace, don't repair in contested environments.

Passive

Receive-only. No emissions, no interference, no revealed posture.

Edge processing

Detection and classification at the sensor. Minimal backhaul, maximum resilience.

Full Spectrum wideband sensor

FULL SPECTRUM · WIDEBAND SDR ARRAY

03 · Extended capability

Full Spectrum

Full Spectrum extends detection to non-cooperative and non-compliant aircraft, analog FPV, modified controllers, and homebuilt systems. A wideband SDR suite captures RF activity far outside standard telemetry channels.

Signal fingerprinting, attribution, and pattern-of-life analysis where cooperative identification doesn't exist, capability shaped by real signal conditions on the front lines in Ukraine.

Philosophy

Low-SWaP, attritable

One platform. Every sensor. No integration burden.

Scout, Scout-X, and Full Spectrum all feed the same intelligence platform, one operating picture across every site you cover.
