1.2 Intended Use
The RF-300 is a passive, network-attached sensor for the detection and direction finding of radio
frequencies (RF) and Wi-Fi signals. In combination with two or more RF-300 it is able to determine
the position of a drone by the RF signals. The RF sensor detects targeted radio signals, identifies
their direction and sends the data, along with an alert to the DroneTracker System.
The RF-300 is intended for civil commercial and private use in conjunction with a DroneTracker
System.
The RF-300 is suitable for outdoor use.
