Osprey cUAS
Protecting Warfighters: Passive UAS Detection at Scale & Distance
A mission-critical, man-portable, and fully passive drone detection system engineered for contested environments.
Osprey cUAS provides unmatched man-portable, passive UAS detection and tracking for frontline forces. Integrating advanced acoustic and optical sensing ensures no RF emission. Its ultra-lightweight design and compact size allows a single operator to deploy Osprey cUAS in minutes, delivering real-time, actionable alerts without emitting RF signals or requiring external networks.
Zero RF Emission.
Acoustic/optical sensing ensures RF silence, keeping your position invisible.
Rapid Deployment. Single Operator.
<4 kg, single-operator deployable for rapid readiness.
AI-Powered Multimodal Fusion.
Onboard edge AI fuses acoustic + EO/IR/SWIR for precise detection.
Seamless Integration.
Open architecture publishes tracks to ATAK, C2, and countermeasures.
Osprey cUAS was purpose-built to protect warfighters in contested environments. It delivers reliable early warning against hostile drone threats, keeping units mission-ready and unexposed. Our objective is to field AI-powered, multi-modal sensing with zero RF emissions, deployable at the squad level. RF can be masked through fiber optics, but acoustic signatures cannot — and Osprey cUAS is built to exploit them.

Osprey cUAS:
Hear → See → Fuse → Track
Osprey cUAS executes a synchronized four-stage process—Hear, See, Fuse, and Track—for comprehensive drone detection. A multi-microphone array passively detects acoustic signatures. EO/thermal cameras then detect and identify for visual confirmation. Onboard edge AI fuses these data to generate precise 3D tracks (range, direction, altitude). Osprey cUAS tracks confirmed targets, and transmits precise tracking data to C2/effector systems.
1. Hear
Multi-mic array detects UAV acoustic signatures & bearing.
2. See
EO, IR, SWIR cameras auto-slew for visual confirmation.
3. Fuse
Edge AI processes acoustic/visual data for 3D track computation and target confirmation.
4. Track
Sensor package tracks aircraft and publishes track data in real time.
