FIREFLY SDR Product Family

Our FIREFLY Software Defined Radio (SDR) Product Family has been designed for extremely low SWAP (size weight and power) scenarios including swarming SUxS wireless communications and RF payloads, innovative RF IoT applications, and distributed Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).

These products feature our embedded FIREFLY SDR, which supports a 1 MHz transmit bandwidth with up to 1 W of transmit power, and a 2 MHz receive bandwidth. The frequency range includes dual band ISM operation (sub 1GHz, 2.4 GHz) and an extended frequency range option supporting 200 to 2485 MHz. Includes support for a variety of waveforms including our long range, low power LPI/LPD direct sequence spread spectrum and frequency hopping waveforms.

The flexible sensor interface enables rapid integration of a variety of commercial sensors (acoustic, radar, visible, infrared and thermal cameras) and external interfaces such as J1939/CAN bus.

SUAS Tracker System

SUAS Tracker System tracks multiple drones from several ground terminals over a robust interference-tolerant wireless telemetry link that supports in-band (ISM) as well as out-of-band (non-ISM) frequency channels.

CUAS Sensor Network

Low-cost Multi-modal acoustic and RF distributed sensor networks.

RF Sensor

Provides spectral sensing and signal recognition in a low SWAP device (SUAS payload, wearable RF signature monitor, etc.)

Localized Jammer

Provides low power jammer to localize the effect to a small radius enabling untethered training scenarios in contested environments.
