Guardian RF 做什么
The rise of low-cost commercial drones has introduced a new class of asymmetric threats to U.S. national security. Off-the-shelf platforms now deliver ISR, contraband, or payloads with precision, while operating below radar coverage and beyond line-of-sight. These systems - often costing under $1,000 - are capable of neutralizing multi-million-dollar defense assets. For drone detection to be viable at scale, sensors must achieve cost parity with the threat. In response, the Department of Defense established multiple initiatives to counter the rapid proliferation of uncrewed aerial systems. The Joint Counter-small UAS Office (JCO) coordinates policy and acquisition across services. The Base Defense Cross-Functional Team enables persistent perimeter security for CONUS and OCONUS installations. Falcon Peak, Red Sands, and related exercises are accelerating deployment of counter-UAS technologies in complex environments. This threat is no longer exclusive to military operations overseas. It now directly targets the U.S. homeland. In 2025, an executive order designated the protection of American airspace sovereignty a national priority, recognizing that uncrewed systems present both surveillance and kinetic risks within the United States. That same year, a domestic extremist plotted to destroy a Tennessee power substation using a drone rigged with C-4 explosives - a plan disrupted by undercover federal agents. In July 2025, an unauthorized drone collided with a rescue helicopter during disaster response operations in Kerr County, Texas, forcing an emergency landing and halting flood relief efforts. These are not isolated incidents - they reflect a broader shift in drone-enabled threats against homeland infrastructure and public safety. Guardian RF builds passive, radiofrequency-based drone detection systems for force protection and critical infrastructure defense inside the United States. Our systems are fielded under an AFWERX Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR with the 30th Security Forces Squadron at Vandenberg Space Force Base, deployed by local and state law enforcement, and integrated into commercial security operations. We were selected as a finalist for Falcon Peak 25.2, the Department of Defense’s premier counter-UAS exercise. Scout is a passive RF sensor for fixed, mobile, or temporary deployments. It detects and classifies drone control signals - including modified variants of DJI, Crossfire, and ExpressLRS - at standoff ranges. Scout supports direct integration into TAK and other operational APIs and is managed through GRF-SECURE, our secure interface for live monitoring, threat alerting, and forensic review. Mosaic extends coverage in austere environments, enabling persistent low-altitude monitoring and classification of non - Remote ID drones across complex terrain - without active emissions or mesh dependency. Built in the United States, Guardian RF delivers scalable, automated, and cost-aligned drone detection - passive by design and hardened for real-world deployment across the homeland.

Drone detection for US defense and national security
We build passive radiofrequency drone detection systems for force protection and critical infrastructure defense. Our products Scout and Mosaic detect and classify drone control signals at standoff ranges without active emissions. They integrate with operational APIs like TAK and provide secure monitoring through GRF-SECURE. Our tech focuses on persistent, automated detection of low-cost commercial drones that threaten US national security.
We don't have a fixed location listed publicly; the company operates remotely or from flexible locations. After YC, we'd base in the US to stay close to DoD and law enforcement customers.
The US homeland is our primary market, and proximity to defense and law enforcement agencies is crucial for sales and support. That's why we'd locate where it enables those relationships post-YC.
