FoxHound
Made for Operators. Designed for Engineers.
Platform Overview
FoxHound is a stabilized, weather-resistant antenna platform built for dynamic ground operations. Whether stationary or mobile, it delivers long-range tracking and communications for Unmanned Systems while consolidating multiple components into a single, tool-free, tracking system capable of handing harsh field conditions.
​
It supports mounting RF payloads and includes seamless cable management for continuous 360-degree rotation. An integrated Inertial Navigation System (INS) ensures stable performance across mobile, maritime, or stationary environments. With dual hot-swappable DC power inputs and an internal 8-hour battery, FoxHound is engineered for continuous operation regardless of external power.
Most directional antennas are just that -- antennas. Fixed-purpose. Expensive. Underutilized.
A Platform, Not Just a Pointer
Most Ground Data Terminals (GDT's) are built as an after thought rather than designed as part of a cohesive system. Operators are left managing gear that's better suited for a lab than in the field, making deployment frustrating and inefficient. Engineers face hardware that can't evolve with their needs -- limited by rigid architectures and interfaces that complicate integration with data links, payloads, and power systems.
​
FoxHound solves this by supporting advanced network architectures, auxillary hardware capabilities, and common interface standards that simplify integration.
FoxHound redefines the antenna pointer -- transforming it from static accessory into a mission-critical platform.
FoxHound is an integration-ready system that simplifies deployment, supports, long-range tracking, and gives engineers a platform they can actually work with -- whether for UAS, CUAS, SIGINT, or FMV.
Flexible Mission Support
FoxHound is optimized for UAS tracking but is also highly adaptable across other mission profiles. Whether you're integrating with CUAS systems, deploying SIGINT payloads, or stabilizing FMV assets, FoxHound provides a stable, power-independent platform that can meet evolving requirements.
