Thanks to the RF Locator module, Raybird detects the enemy by what they emit, identifying active signal sources — air defense systems, EW, radars, command posts, and communication nodes This makes it possible to determine their position even when they are camouflaged or outside the line of sight
Unlike traditional optical sensors, the RF Locator reacts to the mere fact of enemy activity in the spectrum In other words, Raybird literally “hears the airwaves” — and pinpoints exactly where they come from This enables the creation of an enemy electronic activity map, supports passive reconnaissance, helps avoid ambushes or — on the contrary — transmits coordinates to eliminate threats
The aircraft can stay airborne for up to 30 hours and monitor a wide area, patrolling it for new signals When a threat is detected, the operator receives precise geolocation If communication is lost, Raybird continues the mission autonomously, ensuring the collected data is preserved
