FTD1 Passive TDOA Drone Detection & Positioning System

The FTD1 is an advanced, passive radio frequency (RF) detection system designed to autonomously discover, identify, and locate unauthorized drones. Utilizing Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) technology, a single unit provides reliable detection, while multiple units can network to generate precise drone location coordinates. Engineered for performance in complex signal environments, it is the ideal solution for persistent, low-impact aerial threat monitoring in urban areas, around critical infrastructure, and for major event security.

Key Features & Benefits

• Passive TDOA Detection: Operates by sensing drone RF emissions only; it does not transmit any signals, ensuring no environmental interference and covert operation.

• Long-Range Coverage: Consistently detects drone control and video transmission links at distances from 2 km to 6 km, depending on environmental conditions and drone model.

• Networkable Positioning: When multiple FTD1 units are deployed, the system uses advanced TDOA algorithms to triangulate and provide the real-time location of detected drones.

• Exceptional Accuracy & Low False Alarms: Sophisticated signal analysis results in a very low false alarm rate, averaging less than once per day, for trustworthy threat identification.

• Broad-Spectrum Detection: Capable of identifying a wide range of drones, including all DJI models, DIY drones, Wi-Fi-based UAVs, and racing drones, across a frequency span of 100MHz to 6GHz.

• Swarm Detection: Can track 35 or more drones simultaneously, providing crucial situational awareness for coordinated swarm threats.

• High-Speed Refresh Rate: Delivers updated detection data with an average refresh time of under 1 second, enabling real-time monitoring and rapid response.

• Strong Anti-Interference: Features specialized antenna design and processing algorithms for stable performance in dense, RF-heavy urban environments.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

The FTD1 system is deployed worldwide to protect sensitive assets and ensure airspace security:

• Critical Infrastructure: Airports, power plants, substations, and oil & gas facilities.

• Government & Military Sites: Permanent installations and temporary forward operating bases.

• Public Venues & Major Events: Stadiums, concert halls, and during high-profile summits or public gatherings.

• Correctional Facilities: Preventing contraband delivery via drones.

• Corporate & Private Campus Security: Protecting against industrial espionage and unauthorized surveillance.

Why Choose the FTD1 System?

1. Future-Proof Passive Technology: As a non-emitting sensor, it cannot be detected by drone pilots and remains effective against evolving drone technologies.

2. Actionable Intelligence: Goes beyond simple detection to provide location data when networked, enabling effective interdiction and response.

3. Operational Reliability: Its exceptionally low false alarm rate allows security teams to respond with confidence, optimizing resource allocation.

4. Rapid, Simple Deployment: The integrated, robust design allows for quick setup and integration into existing security networks and command centers.

5. Comprehensive Protection: From common consumer drones to custom-built threats, the wide frequency coverage ensures no blind spots in your aerial security posture.
