When combining multiple sensors, the direction information can be used to triangulate the geolocation of the drone or controller. WD250 is functionally like Watchdog WD202, but has no omnidirectional antenna, but it is ruggedized for use on military and governmental vehicles and vessels. It provides alarms and direction to the drone as well as information on drone make/model, protocol, and vendor.
WD250 employs enhanced electromagnetically shielding to avoid radio frequency emission and complies with MIL-STD-461. MIL-STD-810G qualification is currently ongoing. WD250 has external grounding connection point for enhanced safety.
WD250 is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) and is fitted with the vibration dampening mount, which also makes it easy to install. It can be operated from the MyDefence, vehicle edition, of Iris user interface or integrated into existing C2 systems through MyDefence Argos.
The WD250 is designed to withstand vibration and shock of military and governmental vehicles and vessels along with a range of harsh environmental conditions including dust, salt, and solar radiation. The WD250 is custom mounted to the end–user’s specific need.
