Product Overview
The FTA1 Pro TDOA + AOA Drone Detector is an advanced passive drone detection system designed for early warning, identification, direction finding, and precise drone localization. By combining AOA (Angle of Arrival) and TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) technologies, FTA1 Pro delivers accurate situational awareness in complex RF environments.
A single FTA1 Pro unit can detect both low-frequency FPV drones and conventional consumer drones, providing real-time intrusion alerts and direction-finding data. When multiple FTA1 Pro units are networked, the system enables high-precision drone localization using TDOA algorithms.
Because the system relies on passive RF detection, it emits no radiation and causes zero electromagnetic interference, making it especially suitable for urban areas, airports, critical infrastructure, and sensitive locations.
Key Features
Drone Direction Finding
A single FTA1 Pro accurately determines the direction of incoming drone signals across a wide frequency range.
Networked Drone Location (TDOA)
Multiple FTA1 Pro units can be networked to locate drones precisely using TDOA positioning technology.
Drone Model Identification
Capable of identifying mainstream commercial drones as well as FPV and DIY drones.
Whitelist / Blacklist Classification
Intelligently classifies drones as “friend” or “foe” for efficient airspace management.
Spectrum Monitoring
Continuously scans RF signals from 100MHz to 6GHz for comprehensive drone detection coverage.
Jamming Interconnection
Can be integrated with drone jamming systems to enable automatic counter-drone response.
