By incorporating Rohde & Schwarz’s electromagnetic surveillance expertise, MILTON drones can now detect, locate, and analyse signals from tactical communications and hostile electronic devices. This allows operators to identify threats such as clandestine radio activity or enemy drone transmissions with greater speed and accuracy.
The integration of SIGINT payloads has real-world applications in both urban and combat environments, from tracking suspicious communications to identifying jamming or electronic warfare threats. These capabilities support tactical decision-making and improve mission outcomes for deployed forces.
“This partnership has enabled us to bring cutting-edge surveillance capabilities to support security and special operations,” said Stéphane Bringue, Managing Director of Rohde & Schwarz France. “Together, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the field of autonomous airborne systems.”
The technology reduces the need for traditional, manned surveillance aircraft, offering a more discreet, flexible, and cost-effective solution for intelligence gathering and infrastructure protection. It also allows for rapid deployment and adaptation across a wide range of mission profiles.
“At MILTON, we believe that technology should be at the service of operators, simplifying their missions and improving their safety,” said Charles Gillibert, Chief Operating Officer at MILTON. “Our partnership with Rohde & Schwarz is a testament to this approach, combining our expertise to meet the evolving needs of modern security operations.”
