DroneShield has launched a portable RF intelligence system designed to help defence, government and security organisations better understand the electromagnetic environment.
RfRecon enables operators to sense, identify, locate and assess RF activity from a single device. Built on the company’s recently launched proprietary RfAI-3 intelligence architecture, it provides operational context to support decision-making, rather than merely collecting spectrum data.
RfRecon combines increased radio frequency spectrum coverage, processing, AI compute, storage and memory with new capabilities such as direction finding, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Remote ID, AIS/ADS-B detection, integrated GNSS and hardware-based security. Users gain access to future improvements in RF intelligence capabilities over time.
The open architecture system is designed to operate within a layered defence architecture. It supports dismounted, vehicle-mounted, expeditionary and fixed-site operations. RfRecon interoperates with tools including ATAK, third-party command-and-control platforms and complementary sensor technologies. It can also form part of layered counter-drone architectures incorporating cyber takeover and kinetic defeat capabilities.

The 2026 Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is now available. The guide is the world’s only comprehensive, continually updated directory of global C-UAS companies and systems. It itemises over 1,000 C-UAS products and services with performance details, company sales and partnerships arrangements. It is updated every month and broken down into niche sub-sectors (net-capture, missiles, intercept drones, detectors etc) to give C-UAS procurement and industry personnel a unique perspective of global C-UAS technical capabilities and market positions. It is available in word, PDF and excel formats and Unmanned Airspace readers are eligible for a range of discounts.
