OUTPUTSVideoDroneID fieldsTimeline + statistics

Carry it, sit at it, or leave it at the antenna.

Three ways to run one sensor — a receiver plus the computer it is connected to — are available for evaluation. Combining several sensors so their observations can be analysed together is a roadmap direction.

Available for testing

Deployment options available for evaluation in the current test build.

Mobile — move with it

Carry the receiver and the computer it is connected to, and scan the area around you as you move. The operator view can be opened on a tablet or phone on the same local network rather than at the machine itself.

Core functionality does not need a persistent public internet connection. Exact offline boundaries are confirmed before a test.

Stationary workstation

A fixed notebook or desktop as the working environment: every view, recording and the stored detection history in one place beside the signal.

Detection history is written only to a local folder, and only after you switch it on.

Remote unit on a single-board computer

Receiving and decoding run headless on a small board at the antenna, and the operator connects from a tablet, phone or desktop browser over a local network or the internet. Remote access is off by default, is protected by a token supplied at startup, and is enabled only for an agreed test.

We profile on Radxa boards; Raspberry Pi and comparable ARM boards are not verified yet. Network details are agreed privately, never published.

Roadmap

Future deployment options. No delivery dates are committed.

Several sensors, analysed together

Observations from more than one sensor on the same signal, combined so a position can be estimated by triangulation instead of being inferred from a single receiver.

Direction only — no delivery date.

On-premise analysis server, or our cloud

That cross-sensor analysis running on a server inside your own infrastructure, or used as a hosted service.

Direction only — no delivery date.

Available for testing9

Analog FPV scanner

Scans supported analog video channels in the current test build.

Analog video player

Opens the received analog video inside the product.

DJI DroneID scanner

Shows the fields available from compatible DJI DroneID signals.

Timeline

Shows detections in chronological order with public-safe event details.

Statistics

Summarises activity across a selected period using public-safe metrics.

RF spectrum panorama and waterfall

Shows a live spectrum trace for the tuned span, with average and max-hold traces, above a scrolling colourised waterfall.

Wideband sweep

Steps a tunable receiver across a selected preset span and stitches the dwells into one spectrum. Off until enabled.

IQ recording and replay

Records the raw receiver stream to a file and replays it through the same processing path, so a capture can be reviewed later.

Evaluation without connected hardware

Runs the same workflow on a built-in synthetic source, or on a recorded capture, when no receiver is attached.

Roadmap1

OSD to metadata

Reading the telemetry the aircraft burns into the analog picture and turning it into structured fields, using a model trained for it. Not in the current build.

Not supported3

Aircraft and other RF signal types

Outside the current verified scope. Not claimed.

DJI O4 telemetry

Not identified, decrypted or recovered. Outside the current verified scope.

Range, bearing or distance from signal strength

Signal-level readouts are relative to the receiver and uncalibrated. Not claimed.

Understand more than a single detection.

Timeline and statistics help the operator see sequence, repetition and change across the selected period.

What the product does not determine or do

EVIDENCE

There is a signal. There is no confirmation.

DETECTED

A supported link, recognised by its structure.

VERIFIED

The packet is intact. You see what the aircraft sent.

ATTENTION

Matches a rule you set. It needs a person.

A detected signal does not establish intent or affiliation — not even at the highest level, where only the packet is confirmed intact.

UAVSignal currently focuses on analog FPV and compatible DJI DroneID signals.

It does not detect every drone, aircraft or RF source.

OSD visible in video is not automatically a separately validated data source.

The product does not jam, control, or affect an aircraft.

Operational interpretation and response remain the responsibility of trained personnel.

Signal-strength and SNR readings are relative to the receiver and uncalibrated — they are not range, bearing or position measurements.

Only HackRF One and ADALM-PLUTO (PlutoSDR) receivers are supported, and the desktop build is verified on macOS on Apple Silicon.

The analog video decoder covers the NTSC and PAL line standards. It does not reconstruct interlaced field weaving — each field is decoded on its own raster.

One receiver listens on one channel at a time, so a scan can miss activity elsewhere while it is looking.

A valid packet checksum shows that no corruption was detected. It does not authenticate the transmitter.

Repeated signal evidence that does not decode stays labelled unattributed. It is not assigned to an aircraft or an identity.

Receiving and decoding are regulated differently depending on where you operate.
