D5-Air

The D5-Air is a UAV-mounted RF detection and positioning system that extends drone surveillance capabilities into the air, providing wide-area coverage, precision geolocation, and real-time situational awareness. Designed for deployment on unmanned aircraft platforms, the system combines signal interception, target identification, tracking, and air-to-ground communications to support low-altitude airspace monitoring in complex operational environments. By leveraging an elevated vantage point, the D5-Air enhances line-of-sight detection performance and enables coverage of areas that may be challenging to monitor using ground-based systems alone.

Operating across a 400 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range, the D5-Air utilizes passive reception technology that emits no electromagnetic signals, helping maintain a low observable profile during missions. The system supports CRPC 2.0, Drone ID, and RID decoding, as well as AOA and TDOA networked positioning techniques for accurate target localization and multi-station tracking. Compatible with tethered and untethered deployment concepts, and optimized for integration with platforms such as the DJI Matrice 400 and Matrice 350, the D5-Air delivers a flexible airborne solution for detecting unauthorized drones and supporting low-altitude airspace security operations.
