US Department of Defense Adopts Flying Fox RF Sensing Platform to Detect Unauthorized Wireless Signals

Epiq Solutions has deployed its Flying Fox® Enterprise RF sensing platform to meet a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) security challenge involving unauthorized wireless emissions at a joint base facility. The system detects, identifies, and locates RF emitters across multiple commercial wireless bands, supporting the enforcement of strict no-wireless policies on secure DoD sites.

The deployed system uses Sidekiq™ modules within the Flying Fox architecture for broad facility coverage with a reduced sensor count and enhanced localization accuracy.  The platform supports real-time monitoring of RF activity, allowing DoD operators to rapidly identify and mitigate risks from rogue or unauthorized wireless devices. “Even though the development of radios is our area of expertise, the use of our Sidekiq module in Flying Fox likely saved us a calendar year of schedule and many thousands of engineering hours that would have been required to design and build these radios from scratch,” said John Orlando, CEO of Epiq Solutions.
