Detection
Streetlight-mounted RF sensors deliver lawful, persistent drone detection with early warning, track continuity, and contextual analytics across urban corridors.
Counter-UAS · Detection Infrastructure
Own the airspacebelow the rooftops.
Low altitude layered C-UAS detection at the edge — acoustic, thermal, RF and radar infused into one picture. DefendUAS addresses the critical gap in low-altitude airspace below 400 ft with a passive, distributed detection mesh.

The Gap
Low-altitude blind spots
Below 400 ft, no persistent sensing infrastructure exists — and current counter-UAS systems fail to scale beyond point defense. Legacy radar is built to look up and out, while the threat flies low, slow, and between buildings.
- Radar and cameras lose tracks below the rooftop line.
- Incidents at airports, ports, and stadiums outpace response.
- Fixed installations are slow, costly, and cover a single site.
Our Solution
The infrastructure is already installed
The platform is designed to deliver a passive, distributed detection mesh that identifies and tracks drones — including RF-silent airframes — without emitting signals or revealing position.
By leveraging existing infrastructure or mobile deployment platforms, it enables persistent, scalable airspace awareness. More than 50 million streetlights are already deployed, powered, and maintained across the United States — positioned exactly where the blind spots are.
01
Twist Lock
Nodes seat directly into the standard ANSI C136.41 NEMA 7-pin socket already on the pole. No trenching, no new poles, no civil works.
02
Mesh & Backhaul
Streetlights form a resilient mesh over secure LTE/5G, with edge AI processing detections locally before they ever leave the pole.
03
Operational Picture
Agencies get real-time situational awareness — track continuity, early warning, and contextual analytics across the corridor.
One Platform · Fixed or Expeditionary
A single, unified hardware platform supports both fixed infrastructure deployment and expeditionary/mobile configurations — enabling flexible deployment across urban environments, critical infrastructure, and denied or contested operational theaters.
Capabilities
Detect. Integrate. Operate.
DefendUAS is designed for rapid integration and to function as a distributed sensing layer within larger counter-UAS and air defense architectures, complementing government fusion and command-and-control systems.
By providing persistent, low-altitude detection and multi-sensor track inputs, the platform enhances the quality, coverage, and resilience of the fused air picture generated at higher echelons.
Integration
Connects with DHS, FAA, and existing C2 platforms, cueing authorized mitigation systems while remaining detection-only and fully compliant.
Operations
Engineered for scalable, city-wide mesh deployment using existing municipal utility workflows — continuous coverage and clean operational transition.
Procurement & Compliance
Lawful by design
Nodes mount into ANSI C136.41 NEMA 7-pin sockets, enabling rapid coverage without major civil works. The system stays detection-only, modular, and upgrade-ready.
Registered on SAM.gov with CAGE approval for federal procurement.
Prototype nodes are in integration, with sensor characterization work in progress. The platform is on a deliberate path from engineering validation to pilot deployments.
- Detection-only — no jamming, no mitigation
- Low-friction legality for municipal adoption
- Cues authorized mitigation systems in time
