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.
DLU Module · Helmet-Mounted
Classifies commercial and tactical UAS across the full RF signature library.
Horizontal and vertical detection out to 1 km, with 360° coverage.
Direct audio into comms — zero-look, zero-fumble warning delivery.
No emissions. Undetectable by adversaries, safe in EMCON-strict environments.
15 g total sensor mass — imperceptible on an already-loaded helmet.
Runs on standard-issue battery packs for a full operational shift.
Signature library and firmware update over-the-air — no tear-down.
Attaches in seconds to any standard combat helmet. No tools required.
RF Detection
Passive RF detection and classification of 100+ drone types. Ultra-lightweight at 15 g with helmet-integrated audio alerts.
RF + Thermal
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.
Live Thermal · Drone Detected
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.
