Don't Look Up.

Wearable drone detection system

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.

01 / OVERVIEW

Silent watch.
Instant warning.

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.

02 / KEY FEATURES

Engineered for
the helmet.

100+ Drone Types

Classifies commercial and tactical UAS across the full RF signature library.

> 1 km Range

Horizontal and vertical detection out to 1 km, with 360° coverage.

Helmet Audio Alert

Direct audio into comms — zero-look, zero-fumble warning delivery.

Passive RF

No emissions. Undetectable by adversaries, safe in EMCON-strict environments.

Ultra-Lightweight

15 g total sensor mass — imperceptible on an already-loaded helmet.

8-Hour Runtime

Runs on standard-issue battery packs for a full operational shift.

FOTA Updates

Signature library and firmware update over-the-air — no tear-down.

Velcro Mount

Attaches in seconds to any standard combat helmet. No tools required.

04 / OPERATIONAL CONCEPT

From RF to
alert in real time.

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.
