Whitepaper: Low-cost handheld detection of non-cooperative UAS with edge machine learning

TTP has developed a proof-of-concept pocket-sized passive RF drone detector that addresses this need. Our system combines low-cost RF hardware with low-power Edge AI for detection. With the model trained to detect the characteristics of UAS RF emissions, it has the potential to detect non-cooperative and previously unseen drones.

Download our whitepaper to lean how TTP's new drone detection counter UAS concept has the potential to mitigate this emerging threat.
