High-Power RF
Compact Deployable Wideband System
Part Number: RFXC-400
The RFXC-400 is an extremely compact and lightweight wideband source, originally developed for counter-UAS/UAV/drone applications in a footprint that could also be UAV/UAS-deployable.
The RFXC-400 can run continuously at a repetition rate of 10 Hz for up to 10 minutes and is powered internally by rechargeable batteries. The integrated reflector on the unit produces a wide beam pattern (~75 degrees) for counter-swarm applications, but also protects the host vehicle from the high electric field.
