A compact, helmet mounted drone detection system providing real time early warning against aerial threats. Detects and classifies hundreds of commercial and tactical drone types at distances exceeding 1 km, with an instant audio alert delivered directly to the operator's helmet.
DLU is built for operators who cannot afford to look away. Helmet mounted and entirely passive, it continuously scans the RF spectrum used by commercial and tactical drones, evaluates threat confidence in real time, and delivers an audio alert through an in helmet speaker, no screen, no glance, no emissions.
At 15 grams, it disappears into the kit. In use, it becomes the sixth sense that keeps the head down and the mission moving.
Classifies commercial and tactical UAS across the full RF signature library.
15 g total sensor mass. Imperceptible on an already loaded helmet.
Horizontal and vertical detection out to 1 km,
with 360° coverage.
Runs on standard issue battery packs for a full operational shift.
Direct audio into comms.
Zero look, zero fumble warning delivery.
No emissions. Undetectable by adversaries, safe in EMCON-strict environments.
Attaches in seconds to any standard combat helmet.
No tools required.
Signature library and firmware update over the air, no tear down.
Same helmet. Same audio cue. Same 15 g footprint. The thermal variant adds visual confirmation and the only practical answer to RF silent fiber optic threats.
Passive RF · 100+ drone types · > 1 km
All RF capabilities · thermal imaging · day & night
Passive RF detection and classification of 100+ drone types. Ultra lightweight at 15 g with helmet integrated audio alerts.
All RF detection capabilities, plus an integrated thermal camera for visual confirmation and bearing lock. Detects fiber optic guided drones that emit no RF signal, the only countermeasure when radio silence meets the battlefield.
DLU continuously scans the RF bands used by commercial and tactical drones. On contact, the signal is classified, threat confidence evaluated, and an alert routed to the operator's helmet audio, all while the system remains fully passive, with zero RF emissions.
