Tactical edition is a special bundle that includes a portable monitor and a tactical vest mount for the monitor.
The set is built around the Obriy 1.3 drone detector and is intended for field operations perimeter security convoy escort and mobile counter UAS teams.
The solution focuses on rapid detection threat bearing estimation analog video intercept and seamless integration with electronic warfare systems.
The device performs continuous scanning across three key bands 1.2 GHz 2.4 GHz 4.9–6.0 GHz.
These bands cover the majority of FPV platforms and consumer quadcopters. Alarm logic is based on two triggers.
First a radio signal must remain above the threshold on the same frequency for at least four seconds. Second the presence of analog video in any of the supported bands.
This approach reliably detects popular DJI models and FPV platforms that transmit video.
Control channels with frequency hopping which are typical for some telemetry links are not treated as a trigger.
In practice drones usually emit video in parallel and the detector locks on the video channel with high reliability which keeps detection stable in dense spectrum and under masking attempts.
To reduce false positives the system applies multilayer filtering and flexible tuning.
RF fingerprint checks are performed. Sensitivity thresholds are adjustable per band.
Short pulses are rejected. Occupied parts of the spectrum used by WiFi and Bluetooth can be ignored.
FPV only mode passes video signals only which is valuable in civil traffic heavy locations and near active EW assets.
Operator alerts are provided by three channels visual audio and vibration.
Beep cadence maps to received power which helps estimate approximate range.
The rear panel displays signal level.
Direction finding mode with a directional antenna allows quick acquisition of the threat bearing and accelerates the intercept process.
The analog video feed is intercepted and displayed on the portable monitor via Jack 3.5 or streamed to a personal computer via USB Type C using Serial over USB.
This enables real time FPV viewing without extra gear and allows spectral data to be forwarded to a command post or integrated with operational intelligence systems.
Integration with electronic warfare is supported through a dedicated activation output.
Upon detection the unit issues a control signal to start jamming thus reducing team reaction time.
Thresholds can be tailored per band.
Individual ranges can be muted.
Bias T power is available for 5.8 GHz antenna amplifiers.
A headphone output is provided and Blackout mode disables all lighting for covert work.
Auto calibration of the frequency response is a key capability.
The unit analyzes the local radio environment and sets optimal thresholds considering the connected antenna local interference sources and terrain specifics.
This stabilizes performance under diverse conditions reduces false alarms and improves visibility of atypical signals outside the normal site background.
Default scan coverage includes 1.2 GHz 3.3–3.4 GHz 4.9–6.0 GHz. An optional upgrade expands the mid band to 2.9–4.0 GHz for users who require extended coverage.
This allows tailoring the complex to a specific area of operations and mission profile.
Technical specifications. Operating frequencies 1080–1360 MHz step 40 MHz 2370–2510 MHz step 5 MHz 4900–6050 MHz step 5 MHz. Sensitivity minus 85 dBm on 2.4 and 5.8 and minus 95 dBm on 1.2. Battery capacity 10 000 mAh provides up to eight hours of runtime with charging time six to eight hours. Housing is anodised aluminium thickness one to two millimetres protection class IP65. Interfaces USB Type C Jack 3.5 three SMA. Alert channels vibration audio visual each can be disabled. Mass with antennas 380 plus minus ten grams without antennas 330 plus minus ten grams.
Detection speed under typical conditions with no more than five signals above threshold. Band 1080–1360 MHz FPV two to four seconds DJI Mavic three to four seconds. Band 2370–2510 MHz FPV two to five seconds DJI Mavic three to five seconds. Band 4900–6050 MHz FPV three to five seconds DJI Mavic three to six seconds. If more signals are present each is checked for video which adds about two hundred milliseconds per check.
The portable monitor is intended for field display of intercepted video. Screen size 4.3 inches battery life up to eight hours full compatibility with Obriy 1.3. When a video feed appears on 1.2 2.4 or 4.9–6.0 GHz reception starts automatically. Connection uses Jack 3.5. If several sources are detected rapid band switching is available. Charging is via micro USB. Package includes the monitor and an adapter.
The tactical mount is designed for installation on a load bearing vest. Attachment uses elastic rubberised straps. The construction secures the device in a closed position during movement. Colour olive. The solution keeps hands free and preserves situational awareness improving operator mobility.
