Manpack Configuration
Airborne Configuration
Product Description
RFHunter® is a lightweight, compact, scalable and easily deployable system designed for highly mobile, but extremely accurate localisation of communication signals emissions. The system which can be carried in a manpack or mounted on airborne, seaborne and land-based platforms, can be quickly deployed in any combat environment to provide real-time passive situational awareness to a wide range of tactical defence and security operations.
RFHunter® is extremely efficient as a manpack portable system operated by a single operator, but also as an autonomous stationary system when mounted on a tripod to enable short term remote surveillance of a specific area of interest.
RFHunter® employs reconfigurable software defined radio technology capable of covering the entire frequency range (30MHz to 3800MHz), allowing it to intercept signals and perform intelligent direction finding. The system comprises a ruggedized SDR with various antenna arrays formations suitable for any operation scenario.
RFHunter® is a fully waterproof, combat ready system with a robust mechanical design. It is built for easy and rapid deployment under extreme environmental conditions. The solution is compliant with the latest military standards. Additionally, the system can be used as a passive signal receiver and can be easily integrated into other systems. The system’s modular and flexible design allows for various configurations to satisfy demanding tactical defence and civilian operations.

Situational AWARENESS Information System
RFHunter® can be used as a standalone EW system (manpack on the march, stationary on tripod, mobile vehicle mounted) to provide both full spectrum surveillance and radio emission source direction finding. When multiple devices are inter-connected through their built-in wireless mesh network, they can provide precise target geolocation of using Angle of Arrival (AOA) and triangulation techniques.
A ruggedised tablet allows the user to operate the RFHunter® situational awareness information system for mission planning, execution, and system control.
