The DFH500 is a compact direction-finding head that combines high-precision angle-of-arrival (AoA) direction finding with wideband spectrum monitoring and 2D/3D TDoA in a rugged, tactical format.
The DFH500 direction-finding antenna is a field-ready solution for precision monitoring and direction finding from 30 MHz to 500 MHz, covering the VHF and lower UHF bands. Designed for tactical deployments, it enables reliable real-time direction finding, signal interception and emitter geolocation where traditional systems cannot operate.
Lightweight and rapidly deployable, the DFH500 integrates fully into CRFS sensor networks and software. Ideal for electromagnetic spectrum operations, border security, interference hunting and VHF/UHF COMINT/SIGINT.
CRFS offers interchangeable heads designed for use with Rapid Deployment Kits (RDKs), so users can build a toolkit suited to each mission.
