Australian Army
Talisman Sabre 21, Australia
DroneShield has deployed the RfOne Mk2 on an Australian Army ASLAV for the 2021 Talisman Sabre military training exercise and for ongoing deployments. A total of three RfOne devices were deployed allowing the Australian Army to detect and track drones using RF intersection.
The system demonstrated overall detection capability, detection ranges, rapid deployment and usability.
The deployment presented a variety of unique challenges. The RfOne devices had to integrate with the Australian Army’s communications infrastructure, the DroneSentry-C2 had to operate independent of internet connectivity with custom maps and custom brackets needed to be designed and manufactured to mount directly to the ASLAV’s pneumatic mast allowing the whole system to be rapidly assembled and disassembled. DroneShield was able to overcome each of these challenges in under a week demonstrating DroneShield’s agility and capability to provide tailored solutions to key military customers.
RfOne Mk2 is a long range RF detection sensor that provides an accurate line of bearing to a drone’s position. Multiple RfOne devices can provide a drone’s position on a map through RF intersection when paired with DroneSentry-C2. RfOne is powered by RFAI, DroneShield’s cutting-edge AI/ML signal detection and classification engine, providing unparalleled performance in the C-UAS space.
System Deployment
Rationale & Advantages
No emission passive radio frequency direction finding sensors continuously detect airspace but cause no interference to other equipment present in the military base environment
Rationale & Advantages
Comprehensive analytics and evidence collection tools generate detailed detection and environment reports for greater situational awareness and understanding of sites over lifetime of the deployment
