RF Drone Detection
Discover cutting-edge solutions from leading global suppliers
DroneShield has introduced RfRecon, a portable radio frequency intelligence platform designed to sense, identify, locate, and assess RF activity from a single device.
Powered by the company’s proprietary RfAI-3 intelligence architecture, RfRecon is intended to provide operators with immediate operational context as uncrewed systems, electronic warfare capabilities, and wireless communications increase the complexity of the electromagnetic environment.
The platform combines ultra-wideband spectrum awareness, precision direction finding, and RfAI-3-powered signal intelligence in a portable system designed to reduce operator workload and support faster decision-making at the tactical edge.
Compared with previous industry-adopted solutions, RfRecon provides approximately six times more radio frequency spectrum coverage, four times greater processing and artificial intelligence compute, 31 times more storage, and eight times more memory. Additional capabilities include direction finding, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Remote ID, AIS and ADS-B detection, integrated GNSS, and hardware-based security.
Angus Bean, Chief Executive Officer of DroneShield, commented, “The electromagnetic spectrum has become one of the most important sources of operational intelligence on the modern battlefield, but collecting data is no longer enough. The teams that gain the greatest advantage will be those that can rapidly understand what they’re seeing and confidently act on it. RfRecon reflects that shift by bringing RF intelligence directly to the tactical edge.”
RfRecon is designed to operate within a layered defense architecture, extending RF intelligence from the tactical edge to enterprise command-and-control. It supports dismounted, vehicle-mounted, expeditionary, and fixed-site operations, while its open architecture and support for industry-standard data transfer enable integration into existing security and defense ecosystems.
The platform interoperates with tools including ATAK, third-party command-and-control platforms, and complementary sensor technologies. It can also be incorporated into layered counter-UAS architectures that include cyber takeover and kinetic defeat capabilities.
RfRecon is available immediately to qualified defense, government, and security customers worldwide and will continue to benefit from enhancements delivered through DroneShield’s software roadmap.
