The first tactical spectrum analyzer for every warfighter

Body-worn, lightweight, and NDAA-compliant, MOTH is a passive radio frequency spectrum analyzer designed to enhance situational awareness on the battlefield.

MOTH swiftly detects and alerts warfighters of nearby RF emitters, including unmanned systems and communications devices — providing distributed threat detection, spectrum management, and frequency deconfliction at the tactical edge.

The spectrum is the first domain you lose

As adversaries increasingly exploit RF emissions for communications, unmanned systems, and electronic warfare, electromagnetic spectrum operations dominance has grown critical.

American and allied warfighters require a lightweight, passive RF sensing capability in order to effectively counter today’s RF threats. That’s where MOTH comes in.
