FTD1-mini: Miniaturized TDOA Drone Detection & Location System
The FTD1-mini is a high-performance, compact TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) drone detection unit designed to eliminate monitoring blind spots and provide precision near-ground target tracking. By leveraging passive RF sensing, it offers a discreet yet powerful solution for identifying and locating unauthorized drones in complex environments.
Core Capabilities
-
Comprehensive Target Identification: Detects and identifies over 900+ drone models, including DJI, non-DJI brands, and high-speed FPV racing drones.
-
Advanced TDOA Networking: While a single unit provides identification, multiple FTD1-mini units can be networked to triangulate and track the exact flight trajectories of targets.
-
City-Wide Scalability: Designed to integrate seamlessly with larger detectors (like the FTD1 and FTA1), allowing for the creation of massive, interconnected urban monitoring grids.
Key Features
-
Passive Detection: Operates without emitting signals, making it environmentally friendly and undetectable by electronic countermeasures.
-
Whitelisting/Blacklisting: Features a smart classification system to distinguish “friend” from “foe,” reducing false alarms in authorized drone zones.
-
Rugged & Flexible Deployment: With an IP65 rating and a weight of ≤5kg, it can be easily mounted on street lamps, cellular masts, or traffic poles.
-
Blind Zone Coverage: Specifically engineered to fill gaps in existing security infrastructure where larger systems might fail to detect low-altitude threats.
