Key advantages

Covert awareness. Built for the field.

01

Fully passive detection

Monitors RF activity without transmitting, helping the operator retain a low electronic signature.

02

AI-based signal intelligence

Machine-learning classification identifies relevant UAS and controller activity in a busy spectrum.

03

Rapid early warning

Delivers a clear warning in under 10 seconds, giving the squad more time to assess and act.

04

MOLLE-integrated form

A compact, wearable design fits naturally into standard load-bearing equipment.

05

Hands-free awareness

LED, vibration and headphone alerts keep the operator focused on their primary task.

06

Mission-adaptive modularity

A modular antenna interface supports rapid field swaps for specific frequency profiles or broader coverage.

Operational characteristics

Covert Early Warning

Being a completely passive device, the DTS-CaDe detects threats without revealing the soldier’s position, providing a vital edge in reconnaissance missions.

Tactical "Detect-to-Neutralize" Workflow

Optimized for seamless operation alongside PJ-series jammers, creating a comprehensive counter-UAS ecosystem for small units.

Hands-Free Situational Awareness

Integrated audio interface provides immediate alerts via headphones, allowing the soldier to focus on primary mission tasks.

Mission-Adaptive Modularity

Features a modular antenna interface for rapid field swaps of external modules. This allows operators to instantly optimize detection for specific frequency profiles or 360° coverage as tactical requirements evolve.
