Passive Monitoring System — NOT a Counter-UAS Solution
AtlasRF is a passive receive-only RF monitoring system for situational awareness purposes only. It does NOT transmit, jam, interfere with, or disable any aircraft, drone, or vessel. AtlasRF is NOT a Counter-UAS (C-UAS) system and provides no capability to mitigate or neutralize threats.

How It Works
Setup & Operation
AtlasRF is a self-contained system in a ruggedized Pelican case. Set it up once,
access it from any device on your network.
Step 1
Deploy the Kit
Place the Pelican case at your monitoring location. Connect external antennas to the weatherproof bulkhead connectors. Power from mains or portable battery.
Step 2
Receive RF Signals
Multiple receivers scan simultaneously — ADS-B aircraft on 1090/978 MHz, AIS vessels on 162 MHz, Remote ID drones on WiFi/BLE, TPMS vehicle tire sensors on 315 MHz, and Dakota Alert driveway sensors on 433 MHz.
Step 3
View the Map
Open the web interface from any device on your network — laptop, tablet, or phone. Aircraft, vessels, drones, and vehicles all appear on a single real-time map with filtering, alerts, and correlation scoring.
Step 4
Integrate & Export
Stream tracks to CoT-compatible devices via CoT Server or SA Multicast. Export data as CSV, JSON, or KML. Access the API for custom integrations.
WiFi AP
No network? AtlasRF creates its own wireless access point for field deployments.
Ethernet Direct
Connect a laptop directly via ethernet cable. Zero infrastructure required.
Portable
Battery-compatible for portable field deployments. Runtime depends on your power source.
