Product Details

Product Features

The equipment integrates UAV detection, early warning, identification, direction finding and positioning functions. A single station can perform direction finding for multiple targets simultaneously. Two stations can realize rough cross-positioning, while multi-station networking (2–3 units) supports high-precision TDOA positioning, enabling accurate positioning and trajectory tracking of multiple UAV targets.

Adopting passive spectrum detection technology, the device causes no environmental interference and features high concealment. It supports offline operation, boasts an integrated industrial design, high integration and strong anti-interference capability. It is suitable for large-scale deployment in complex urban electromagnetic environments.

  • It supports over 400 drone models, including mainstream products from DJI and Autel, as well as domestic drones, Wi-Fi drones and FPV models.
  • A single station can determine drone directions and track up to 3 targets simultaneously.
  • Spectrum scanning range: 100MHz~6GHz. It supports spectrum graph and waterfall graph display, as well as detection and identification of abnormal signals.
  • It can connect with jammers or spoofers to counter target drones.

FAQ

Q1: What is the main structural and operational difference between the X1D and X1D-P models?
A1: The X1D and X1D-P are optimized for different tactical requirements within the same ecosystem, specifically regarding their direction finding frequency bands. The system supports 2GHz–6GHz and 400MHz–6GHz configurations to ensure full spectral coverage against diverse threat profiles. Both models maintain the same rugged IP65 structural integration, making them interchangeable or complementary within a multi-station TDOA defense network.
Q2: How does the passive spectrum detection mechanism perform in high-density urban environments?
A2: Unlike traditional active radar systems that emit radiation and can be easily disrupted by urban structures or clutter, the X1D/X1D-P uses passive RF sensing. It emits zero radiation, ensuring absolute operational concealment and zero interference with local wireless networks. Its integrated industrial design incorporates advanced filtering to isolate background noise and pinpoint drone telemetry signatures in complex electromagnetic fields.
Q3: Can this system effectively locate the drone pilot as well as the aircraft itself?
A3: Yes, under specific deployment scenarios. A single station can determine the accurate bearing and approximate location of certain drone models and their corresponding remote controllers (pilots) by analyzing the uplink and downlink signals. For comprehensive, real-time tactical mapping, deploying a multi-station network allows continuous TDOA cross-positioning to map out the exact flight trajectory of both the target drone and the operator.
Q4: What real-world detection ranges, refresh rates, and capacity limits should operators expect?
A4: In standard operational environments, the system delivers a passive detection range of 1–10km and a TDOA network positioning range of 1–5km, depending on regional topography and the drone’s transmitting power. The system is heavily optimized for swarm defense, capable of tracking more than 30 drones simultaneously, with the live spectrum and waterfall displays refreshing every 1 to 4 seconds to maintain real-time situational awareness.
Q5: Is the system designed for long-term outdoor deployment in harsh weather conditions?
A5: Absolutely. The equipment features an ultra-reliable, integrated industrial chassis with an IP65 waterproof and dustproof rating, built to withstand continuous 24/7 outdoor operations. It operates reliably across a wide temperature envelope from -30°C to 65°C and weighs less than 15kg (excluding the power adapter), making it exceptionally portable for rapid field deployment, perimeter security, or temporary event protection.
