Transforming the landscape of threat detection systems.

CAPABILITIES

FireFLY is a suite of fielded, TRL-9, dual-use, passive, attritable, acoustic sensors that provides early warning of low-altitude, terrain-masked drones without emitting RF, preserving concealment in contested environments. It serves as a scalable C-UAS sensor that can support the mission from the light-infantry, infrastructure security, as well as U.S. law enforcement. FireFLY also detects, geolocates, and classifies small arms fire, sniper fire, rocket/artillery/mortar fire (RAM), and machine gun fire. FireFLY has a mature web interface that allows for easy access to real-time detection and tracking, but the system is interface agnostic, with historical support of numerous military C2 systems. 

Developed jointly by Invariant Corporation of Huntsville, AL, and Hyperion Technology of Tupelo, MS in support of the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center (DEVCOM AvMC).

UAS DETECTION

  • Provides real-time detection and flight tracking of multiple UAS 
  • Utilizes detection and classification on the edge to reduce latency 
  • Generally FireFLY can detect Class I at 500mm, Class II from 2-4 km, and Class III around 6km+
