commercial airspace monitoring solutions
See What’s Flying Near Your Facilities — Without Radar.
Lantern Network gives you clear visibility into nearby aircraft and drone activity without relying on radar or active transmissions. Our system passively monitors existing radio signals, allowing you to understand what’s happening in your airspace in real time — quietly and discreetly.
By avoiding signal emissions, Lantern Network reduces complexity, cost, and visibility while still delivering reliable airspace awareness for security, safety, and operational planning.
An Evolving battlespace...
…Requires novel solutions.
Adversaries are employing new threats including low-cost, mass-produced, one-way attack (OWA) and first-person view (FPV) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to conduct a variety of missions, including air interdiction (AI), offensive counter-air (OCA) strike, suppression/destruction of enemy air defenses (SEAD/DEAD), strike control and reconnaissance (SCAR), and forward observer (FO) roles.
Trading multi-million dollar air defense systems for mass-produced quadcopters is not a sustainable model. To detect, track, identify, and defeat these threats requires new layered tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) supported by new technology. Stay up-to-date on the latest news on our blog.
Commercial Airspace Awareness & Drone Detection Solutions
Lantern Network gives you clear visibility into nearby aircraft and drone activity without relying on radar or active transmissions.
Our commercial system passively monitors existing radio signals, allowing you to understand what’s happening in your airspace in real time- quietly and discretely.
Our devices can operate independently or in networked configurations to provide persistent, man-portable, all-weather air surveillance (ASV) of the airspace. Surveillance tracks can be pushed to local mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) for display on Android Tactical Awareness Kit (ATAK) end user devices, or pushed up to tactical datalinks such as JREAP-C and Link-16 for broad dissemination
Built from commercial-off-the-shelf components, our sensors are small, lightweight, and cost-effective, cheaper than a standard tactical radio and deployable in seconds. Unlike bulky, active systems like radar or lidar, our unclassified, non-attributable sensors operate undetected, ensuring force protection and operational security.
Our disposable sensors are rapidly manufacturable, scalable, and tailored for the digital fabric of modern warfare, empowering the joint force from operator to commander.
