Military & Defence Operations
RF situational awareness and electronic protection for modern military operations.
Applications
- Dismounted units
- Forward positions
- Mobile assets
- Contested FPV operations
The operating environment
Military units operating in contested electromagnetic environments need reliable awareness of the signals and threats around them.
Small drones and FPV systems make early warning critical across frontline positions, mobile units and military infrastructure. Detecting and identifying relevant activity before visual contact helps personnel assess the threat and choose a response.
Wearable and directional RF detection support personnel and wider positions. Electronic countermeasures can be added as a separate protection layer, while compatible systems connect to existing command workflows.
Sample use cases
Dismounted force protection
A soldier or patrol carries a wearable detector for alerts to nearby drone RF activity during movement or at temporary positions.
Forward position and mobile asset monitoring
Directional detection helps maintain UAS awareness around command posts, temporary bases and mobile platforms as the situation changes.
FPV operations in contested RF environments
Frequency conversion can shift FPV communication to alternative bands when conventional links face interference.
Key advantages
Early RF warning
Detects drone-related RF activity when a device begins transmitting, potentially before visual contact or take-off.
Broad frequency coverage
Wide-spectrum monitoring supports detection across different drone communication technologies and bands.
AI-assisted identification
Advanced analysis helps identify relevant drone activity in complex RF environments.
From soldier to wide-area monitoring
Wearable devices support individual personnel while directional systems extend awareness across military positions.
Passive detection
RF activity can be monitored without transmitting during detection, helping units maintain a lower electronic signature.
Integration-ready architecture
System-dependent integration supports C2, API and ATAK-based operational workflows.
Workflow
Drone protection needs to fit the mission. Rantelon’s systems let military teams combine capabilities around their personnel, positions and operational priorities.
Detect
RF detection systems monitor drone-related transmissions and provide early warning of nearby activity.
Assess
AI-assisted analysis identifies relevant signals, while directional detection adds information for threat assessment.
Respond
Operators choose the appropriate response, with electronic countermeasures available where required.
