Digital radio frequency tags (DRaFT)

Digital radio frequency tags (DRaFT)

Digital radio frequency tags (DraFT) provide for data exfiltration from unattended ground sensors and communication with vehicles and personnel throughout the battlespace. Particularly useful for the identification and location of coalition units, the DRaFT architecture can be exploited for other missions, enhancing U.S. situational awareness and combat identification. The DRaFT program is advancing tag performance in key areas, such as data rate, with no impact to normal selected acquisition reports and ground moving target indicator processing.

DRaFT FEATURES

  • High-bandwidth, long-range, two-way communication using X- and Ku-band SAR/GMTI radars
  • Precise geolocation/Integral GPS mission-adaptable via software-only changes
  • Standard external interfaces for adaptability and expandability
  • Small, lightweight, affordable
  • External or battery powered
