Covert Multi-Mission Intelligence For Drones

Silent Sight is a low SWaP software-defined radio and sensor platform integrated into UAS enabling multiple mission types. Silent Sight supports EW, SIGINT, ELINT, imagery, and alternative navigation missions with user-selectable capability switching. Single UAS platform performs diverse intelligence missions reducing equipment burden where traditional approaches require separate platforms for different missions.

Silent Sight’s software-defined radio architecture with user-selectable mission capability enables switching between EW, SIGINT, ELINT, imagery, and alternative navigation without hardware changes. Fixed-mission platforms lock operators into single capability. User-selectable missions adapt to operational requirements instantly—operators switch mission focus based on intelligence needs where dedicated-mission systems require deploying different UAS.

LPI/LPD stands for Low Probability of Intercept and Low Probability of Detection—waveforms designed to operate without being detected or intercepted by adversaries. Silent Sight’s LPI/LPD waveforms prevent creating detectable signatures in contested environments. Standard waveforms expose UAS position and mission where LPI/LPD capability enables operations in adversarial environments without detection.

Silent Sight supports government-owned Infil/Exfil waveforms, LINK-182 tactical data link, MANET mobile ad hoc networking, MUOS narrowband satellite communications, and device-to-device beyond-line-of-sight messaging. Diverse waveform library enables accessing different communications networks and intelligence gathering approaches from a single platform. Multi-waveform capability enables operational flexibility impossible with single-waveform platforms.

Silent Sight’s integrated CPU and GPU enable on-board AI/ML target detection and video processing eliminating ground-processing delays. Ground-dependent systems require transmitting raw sensor data to ground stations for processing creating bandwidth constraints and latency. On-board processing delivers real-time intelligence enabling immediate tactical decisions where ground processing creates operational delays in time-critical situations.

Yes. Silent Sight enables user-selectable mission capability switching between EW, SIGINT, ELINT, imagery, and alternative navigation without hardware modifications. Operators select mission requirements adapting to operational changes instantly. Hardware-fixed platforms force reconfiguring or deploying different UAS where Silent Sight’s flexible architecture enables responding to changing intelligence requirements without equipment changes.

Silent Sight is designed in UAS integration-ready form factor enabling installation on diverse unmanned systems. Modular hardware and flexible RF front end accommodate different UAS platforms and mounting configurations. Integration process varies by specific UAS platform but modular design minimizes customization enabling rapid deployment to existing UAS fleets.

Silent Sight’s integrated GPU enables processing-intensive algorithms on-board eliminating ground-processing bottlenecks. GPU processing delivers computing capability for signal analysis, image processing, and machine learning detection at platform edge. On-board GPU processing enables autonomous decision-making where traditional systems require ground station support limiting operational independence.

Silent Sight’s on-board AI/ML target detection automatically analyzes sensor data identifying relevant intelligence without operator analysis delay. Machine learning algorithms process video and signals detecting targets or threat patterns automatically. Automatic detection enables real-time intelligence response where manual operator analysis creates delays preventing rapid tactical decision-making.

Silent Sight supports military and intelligence units requiring multi-mission UAS capability with LPI/LPD waveforms and on-board processing. Military operators deploy Silent Sight for signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and imagery collection from UAS. Commercial operators leverage Silent Sight for diverse sensor collection missions where multi-mission capability provides operational flexibility single-purpose systems cannot match.
