Rafael has won the 2023 Army Technology Excellence Award for Product Launches as it integrated CRFS’ RF technology into its widely recognised Drone Dome C4, an off-the-shelf, end-to-end counter-unmanned aircraft system (cUAS) solution.
By integrating CRFS’ RFeye technology as a sensor in their Drone Dome C4i, Rafael can now provide enhanced detection and geolocation capabilities, resulting in operational advantages and enabling new concepts of operation.
The integration project was initiated by Rafael to bolster the RF detection and geolocation capability of its Drone Dome solution, enabling it to counter the security risks posed by hostile drones.
The RFeye receiver, known for its RF performance, offers drone detection across a range of threat vectors and an extensive operational range. Its design facilitates deployment, while advanced detection, geolocation, and data filtering/streaming services are available through user-friendly open APIs, ensuring easy integration with existing systems.
