Drone Detection System
Passive RF Detection. Real-Time Awareness.
Identify and track unmanned aerial systems through passive signal analysis in contested environments.
The Minerva Drone Detection System provides real-time situational awareness by passively monitoring RF activity across key frequency bands. Designed for rapid deployment, it enables operators to detect and respond to nearby aerial threats without emitting signals or relying on external infrastructure.
Situational Awareness Without Emission
In modern environments, active detection systems can expose position and intent. Passive RF detection provides a critical advantage — enabling operators to observe and identify aerial activity without revealing their presence. The Minerva Drone Detection System is designed for environments where awareness must be maintained without adding signal footprint. From forward positions to urban deployments, it enables continuous monitoring of the electromagnetic environment.
