UAVTEK Sense

Name: UAVTEK Sense
Brand: UAVTEK

How it works

Drone control systems operate across a finite number of radio frequencies. UAVTEK Sense listens for those frequencies continuously. When a match is detected, the system identifies it as a drone with certainty, plots its location on a visual map, and locates the pilot's position. Both the threat and its source become visible simultaneously.

Who it is for

UAVTEK Sense is supplied to military units operating dismounted in the field, law enforcement and police tactical teams, government security agencies, and high-value sites requiring portable drone threat awareness without fixed installation.

Key capabilities

Passive RF sensing: detects drones without emitting any signals — the operator's position is not revealed
Direction finding: locates the drone and the pilot on a visual map in real time
Detects both compliant and non-cooperative unmanned aircraft, including Group 1 FPV drones

PHY-layer identification: no fixed signal library required, adapts dynamically to new drone types
Compact and field-ready: designed for on-foot operations, in-vehicle use, and rapid deployment without infrastructure
Fully Ofcom compliant operation

Frequently Asked Questions

Is UAVTEK Sense NDAA compliant?

Yes. UAVTEK Sense is NDAA compliant. Both systems are designed, engineered and manufactured in the United Kingdom with a UK-sovereign supply chain and no components from countries restricted under NDAA regulations.

Who distributes UAVTEK Sense in the UK?

UAVTEK Sense and UAVTEK Protect are available in the United Kingdom through CAD Wing Training and Advisory. Contact info@cadwing.co.uk for procurement enquiries.

What drones can UAVTEK Sense detect?

UAVTEK Sense detects both compliant and non-cooperative unmanned aircraft, including Group 1 FPV drones. It uses PHY-layer identification and does not rely on fixed signal libraries, meaning it adapts to new drone types as they emerge.

Does UAVTEK Sense require fixed infrastructure?

No. UAVTEK Sense is designed for on-foot operations and in-vehicle use without fixed infrastructure. Compact and lightweight, purpose-built for dismounted frontline personnel and mobile security teams.

How does UAVTEK Sense locate the pilot?

UAVTEK Sense listens for the radio frequencies used between drone and controller. When a match is detected, the system identifies the drone and plots both the drone location and the pilot position on a visual map in real time.

Is UAVTEK Sense made in the UK?

Yes. UAVTEK Sense is designed, engineered and manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Can multiple UAVTEK Sense units be networked?

Yes. Multiple units can be networked to build a shared operational picture across an area, convoy route or venue.

Is UAVTEK Sense suitable for military use?

Yes. UAVTEK Sense is designed for military units operating dismounted in the field, law enforcement tactical teams, and government security agencies.
