Sky Spy and Evolve Dynamics have announced a partnership to integrate and test UAS-based SIGINT systems that enhance RF spectrum awareness for military users, following a successful demonstration with the French Armed Forces earlier this month.
According to Tom Redman, CEO of Evolve Dynamics, said: “In embarking on this partnership with Sky Spy, we combine shared frontline experience from Ukraine with our expertise integrating new capabilities into UAS for modern operators. Through joint trials led from our Kyiv facility and recent NATO demonstrations, we’ve integrated advanced electronic sensing capabilities onto our platforms, enabling operators to detect and locate hostile RF activity, including drone operators and jammers. The result is a new layer of battlefield awareness for forces operating in contested environments.”
The recent exercise, organised by France’s Cyber Defence Command, saw Sky Spy’s autonomous portable SIGINT system, SkyAgent 001, integrated with Evolve Dynamics’ Sky Mantis 2 rotary-wing UAS in an electromagnetic ‘capture the flag’ scenario. During the exercise, French personnel observed the system detecting, classifying and geolocating all high-priority emitters in the scenario, demonstrating how airborne RF sensing can extend collection range and help users detect emitters deeper into the battlespace than ground-based systems alone, said the companies in a press release.
The demonstration forms part of a wider partnership to integrate Sky Spy’s family of SIGINT systems across Evolve Dynamics’ UAS portfolio. The companies will now begin integrating the capability onto smaller tactical UAS such as Wolfe-NATO, alongside continued demonstrations and testing to support personnel seeking greater awareness and control of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sky Spy’s systems are designed to feed RF intelligence into wider ISR and command-and-control workflows, supporting integration with other battlefield management systems.
