RF Detection vs Radar for Drone Threats
When to use RF sensing, micro-radar, or both in your counter-drone architecture.
RF detection excels at identifying control links and operator bearings at long range with low power draw. Radar provides accurate tracks and works when drones fly autonomously without RF emissions.
Most mature programs combine both through sensor fusion to reduce false alarms from birds and ground clutter. OEM sensor modules integrate via open APIs for custom architectures.
