Key Terms

counter-uas technical

Counter-UAS (counter-unmanned aircraft systems) are tools and tactics used to detect, track, and disable or divert drones that pose a threat to people, property, or operations. Think of them as a combination of a security camera, alarm system, and net that can find an unwanted flying device and stop it before it causes harm. Investors care because demand, regulation, and deployment of these systems affect revenue, contract opportunities, legal risk, and the valuation of companies that build or use them.

rf antenna technical

A radio-frequency (RF) antenna is a physical device that converts electrical signals into radio waves for transmission and converts incoming radio waves back into electrical signals for reception; it operates across portions of the electromagnetic spectrum called radio frequencies. Antenna performance depends on its size, shape and orientation relative to the wavelength, and on factors such as gain (directional focus), polarization and impedance matching to the transmitter or receiver; surrounding objects and distance affect how well radio waves propagate, so antennas are designed to suit specific frequency bands and coverage needs.
