Firms Join Forces on UAV EM Monitoring

May 22, 2025
The Raybird tactical fixed-wing UAV is now available with integrated spectrum-monitoring systems from Quadsat.

Denmark’s test solution supplier Quadsat entered into a strategic collaboration with Ukrainian uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) manufacturer Skyeton to develop UAV-based electromagnetic (EM) monitoring systems. The aerial test systems support conducting electronic-warfare (EW) operations, increasing situational awareness, and strengthening threat responses in difficult EM environments.

By integrating Quadsat’s spectrum-monitoring equipment into Skyeton’s Raybird fixed-wing UAV, the tactically agile UAV provides real-time spectrum monitoring and intelligence gathering in challenging operating environments. The Raybird vehicle can be unfolded for flight on unprepared terrain in less than 25 minutes.

Chief Commercial Officer of Quadsat, Klaus Aude, explained the logic behind the team efforts: “By combining our robust RF payload with Skyeton’s battle-proven UAS, we are able to bring a powerful new solution to the electromagnetic warfare space.”

Aude added, “The fact that Raybird has exceptional endurance, with up to 28 hours of flight time, while being easy and rapid to deploy, makes it especially practical for defense applications. Quadsat’s technology is platform-agnostic, and our integration with fixed-wing systems is a clear demonstration of that.”

International CEO of Skyeton, Pavlo Shevchuk, noted, “This partnership marks a significant step forward in expanding the capabilities of our Raybird UAS. By integrating Quadsat’s cutting-edge RF technology, we are equipping our platform with an advanced spectrum monitoring tool that is essential for modern operational environments.”

The two firms plan to co-exhibit at the International Drone Show 2025 in Denmark on June 18-19, 2025, with a demonstration of the Raybird vehicle carrying the Quadsat payload for RF emitter detection and spectrum monitoring.
