Quadsat develops advanced RF sensing and electronic warfare payloads that enable UAV manufacturers and defense forces to enhance electromagnetic spectrum awareness and operational capabilities.
Unmanned Systems Technology (UST) is pleased to announce the addition of Quadsat to our global supplier ecosystem. Their new Gold supplier profile showcases advanced RF sensing and electronic warfare solutions designed to equip unmanned aircraft with airborne RF detection, direction finding and geolocation capabilities.
Originally established to revolutionize satellite antenna testing through drone-based measurement technology, Quadsat now develops platform-agnostic RF payloads for modern defense and government missions. Combining RF sensing hardware, robotics technologies and intelligent software, the company’s compact, lightweight solutions are designed for integration with Group 2 to Group 5 UAV platforms, enabling operators to detect, identify and locate RF emitters in real time while minimizing SWaP-C requirements.
Key capabilities and products from Quadsat include:
EW Payloads for Tactical UAVs: Platform-agnostic RF payload technology provides airborne detection and geolocation capabilities, extending electromagnetic spectrum awareness and helping operators identify potential threats at range. The low-SWaP SpectraLoc can detect targets from distances of up to 150 kilometers, depending on link budget and operational conditions
RF Sensing Solutions for Drone OEMs: Quadsat works with UAV manufacturers and systems integrators to embed proven RF sensing technology into existing and future aircraft, reducing integration complexity, development risk and time to deployment.
Platform-Independent Integration: Quadsat’s compact payload architecture is ideal for integration into a variety of multirotor and fixed-wing UAVs. SpectraLoc has already been integrated with platforms including the Skyeton Raybird-3, UpTeko LARK and Nordic Drones X4S.
By moving RF sensing from traditional ground-based infrastructure to unmanned aircraft, Quadsat enables defense and security organizations to extend RF awareness beyond the horizon and gain greater coverage and operational flexibility. Its technology supports the collection of electromagnetic data from the air, helping operators build a clearer picture of the battlespace and generate actionable intelligence from real-time RF activity.
Quadsat continues to explore new integration opportunities for SpectraLoc, collaborating with UAV manufacturers, systems integrators and end users to bring advanced electronic warfare capabilities to a broad range of unmanned platforms.
