About RfAI-3
RfAI-3 is DroneShield's shared radio-frequency intelligence engine for counter-uncrewed-system products. It scans and classifies control, video and telemetry emissions and distributes recognised RF knowledge across compatible fixed, mobile and dismounted systems.
The engine retains signatures and mission observations so newly identified emitters can strengthen future detection. Unknown emissions can be captured for operator review and library development. RfAI-3 also supports DroneShield's sensor fusion, AI identification and software-defined electronic-warfare functions for military, public-safety and critical-infrastructure deployments.
