A sensor sized for the mission.
Drones are everyone's problem now. Commercial aircraft near flight lines. Small quads over crowds. Larger systems near forward operating sites. The market's answers weigh forty pounds, draw four hundred watts, and cost six figures before you've trained a single operator.
Honeypot is the other option. It's a passive RF direction-finding sensor small enough to fit in a hard case, cheap enough to deploy in quantity, and simple enough to set up without a certified technician. It doesn't do everything a gateway-class system does. It does the one thing you care about first: detect the emitter and tell you which way it came from. And it does that in places where nothing else will.
Built by operators, for the operators coming behind them.
Four things Honeypot does well.
Multiple receive elements deliver a bearing, not just a detection. Angle-of-arrival on emitters in real time, displayed in the operator's frame of reference.
Trained against commercial and industrial UAS RF profiles. Alerts on known systems, flags unknowns, and logs everything for post-mission review.
Fits in a hard case a junior tech can carry. Runs off 12 VDC or vehicle power. Bring one in the truck, or ten in a team lift.
Operational in less than 10 minutes, no network required, no certified operator necessary: open the case and provide power.
Wherever you are.
Honeypot has three deployment modes. Pick the one the mission needs; the sensor doesn't care.
Mast-mount on a technical, bed-mount on a pickup, or roof-mount on a command vehicle. Uses available 12 V power. Convoy overwatch, mobile security, rapid reposition.
Hangars, flight lines, event venues, critical infrastructure. Twenty-four-hour perimeter awareness from a static mast or building mount. Wire it once, forget it.
Tripod. Tree. Improvised mast. The hard case has everything needed to stand up on site with zero external dependencies. Out with the team, home with the team.
