I’m wondering about the realized benifit. If it in fact it uses a MIMO like antenna array, you would have to use an antenna analyzer to quantify the direction and dbm gain of each antenna. The MIMO array MIGHT be driven by an algorithm that uses the highest SNR antenna (or pair) at a specific...

Excellent initiative, dillagence and reasearch. You are keeping this hobby fun and thank you. I’m mapping out amplifier mods and I ran into this issue and thread. My take away is that you need to buy 4 amps with four SMA connections and you will look like you are out of the Matrix movie when you...

I’m coming up on 100 hours of Mavic Pro flight time. Is there a maintenance schedule we need to be following

The brand name is AeroScope. I was incorrect in calling it AirWatch. Technical overview video attached.

DJI markets it’s Airwatch system to large security entities. It’s available on many platforms including a portable miniaturized suitcase version, ideal for sporting events, that displays geographically any powered DJI system within a radius of dozens of km/miles. It is also available as a...

If your handed a fat piece of intelligence, such as being able to quantify launch sites, recovery sites, flight plan, GCS location etc., that you can use to qualify tactics, techniques and procedures of an adversary, wouldn’t you just sit back and collect data? Over time, you would have a...

That’s an interesting role of drones as applied in a SEAD / Wild Weasel application. I believe AGM-88 HARMS “ride the beam” to the target at high velocity in one attack mode. I know they will still impact the point of radiation even if the equipment is then switched off. They do have mm radar...

That’s a DARPA project 30 years down the road

How do you defeat a swarm attack scenario that uses INS with other existing onboard sensors; EW countermeasures in the RF spectrum would be useless. Optical terrain maps exist that could algorythmically work with INS to verify position in conjunction with barometric altmiters.

High probability of Blue on Blue

I’ll let the trolls have a field day (no pun intended)

Edit: RTH and looses GPS / looses GPS and control link

It would be interesting to see if they jammed GPS L1&L2, shifted the timing to produce a false location and/or brute force jammed 2.4&5.8 GHz with 27 MHz etc. Cell/GPS jammers are avalavible to the general public. I saw a thread on here where neighbors were fighting about drone use and one...

The M600 has a payload of 6 kg (13.2 lbs). It is not immediately clear why they would not maximize payload of the airframe. Something does not make sense.

I hope you are correct. I’m going to guess that the Venezuelan .gov is going to pay list price for airwatch if they haven’t already.
