MyDefence has launched a new technology designed to expose the unseen threats shaping modern warfare. The next-generation compact Wideband Antenna, purpose-built for integration with Wingman and ATAK, “delivers a major advancement in spectrum awareness by expanding detection into critical low-frequency ranges used by today’s most evasive drones,” said the company in a press release.
“Modern drone warfare is evolving fast. In high-threat environments like Ukraine, enemies increasingly use low-band frequencies, especially 350–1300 MHz, to evade conventional counter-drone systems. The UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine reports that short-range drones now cause more battlefield casualties than any other weapon system, emphasizing the urgent need for tools that can detect threats hiding in the lower spectrum.
“The Wideband Antenna is optimized for superior detection across the 350–1300 MHz range, directly addressing gaps exploited by FPV drones and other low-band emitters. It also continues to support the 2.4 GHz band (2400–2500 MHz) and now adds complete coverage in the 5 GHz range (5000–6000 MHz), offering spectrum awareness where it is vital today.
The most fatal threats are often the hardest to see and they now operate in parts of the spectrum most systems fail to detect. Our new compact Wideband Antenna fills that gap, with a clear focus on adding the full 350–1300 MHz range where real-world attacks are now happening as well, Dan Hermansen, CEO, MyDefence.
“While the antenna delivers next-level detection capability, spectrum visualization is handled through ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit). Spectrum activity captured by the antenna is streamed directly into ATAK, allowing users to map, monitor, and react to hostile signals in real time. This integration enhances situational awareness for soldiers and security teams by combining wearable detection, low and high frequency sensing, and advanced visual analytics, all within the military’s preferred tactical platform.
