Danish RF testing firm Quadsat and Ukrainian drone manufacturer Skyeton have announced a strategic partnership to provide enhanced electromagnetic spectrum surveillance tools. The collaboration aims to support electromagnetic warfare (EMW) operations and situational awareness in contested operational environments.
The joint effort integrates Quadsat’s radio frequency (RF) measurement technology with Skyeton’s Raybird unmanned aerial system (UAS), a fixed-wing platform previously used in operational scenarios in Ukraine. According to the companies, this combination offers a scalable solution for real-time spectrum monitoring and RF emitter detection.
Raybird, known for its long endurance—up to 28 hours per flight—and its rapid deployment features, will carry Quadsat’s RF payload during missions. The integrated system is designed to collect electromagnetic data in complex environments, potentially supporting military intelligence and threat response tasks.
Klaus Aude, Chief Commercial Officer at Quadsat, noted that the integration demonstrates the adaptability of their RF technology across different aerial platforms. Pavlo Shevchuk, International CEO of Skyeton, stated that the collaboration enhances the Raybird’s capabilities with tools essential for modern mission profiles.
A live demonstration of the system is scheduled at the International Drone Show 2025 in Odense, Denmark, where the companies will jointly exhibit. The flight demonstration will feature real-time RF spectrum monitoring and emitter tracking using the Raybird platform.
