DroneShield has announced its Q2 2026 software release, delivering coordinated updates across its RF sensing, AI, ATAK-CIV plugin, and command-and-control (C2) platforms.<\/p>\n
According to the company, drones can now be automatically classified as Friendly, Neutral, Hostile, or Unknown using serial-number-based identification and Remote ID inputs. These classifications are applied at the sensor level and carried consistently through to ATAK-CIV and C2 environments.<\/p>\n
Combined with new emitter prioritisation, operators are presented with the most relevant threats first, while low-value or background signals are suppressed. The result is a cleaner, more actionable operational picture, enabling faster interpretation and response.<\/p>\n
DroneShield has relaunched its ATAK-CIV plugin as RfLink, a fully reengineered system designed to deliver shared RF awareness across distributed teams.<\/p>\n
RfLink will now allegedly enable real-time RF detection visualisation within ATAK-CIV, line-of-bearing rendering and directional awareness via DroneSentry-X Mk2, enhanced Cursor-on-Target data sharing across users and devices, and propagation of identity tagging and classification rules<\/p>\n
ATAK-CIV users can receive consistent data from RfLink users without installing the plugin. RfLink creates a shared, real-time understanding of the RF environment, even across dispersed teams and challenging terrain. Additional features include Wi-Fi filtering and improved overlay management.<\/p>\n
This newly designed ATAK-CIV plugin will allow teams to operate from a single, aligned view of the RF environment, improving coordination, reducing miscommunication, and enabling faster and threat localisation across distributed units, according to DroneShield.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Updates to RfDeviceManager (RfDM) and RfAI\u00a0embedded software introduce a redesigned interface and expanded detection intelligence, improving both usability and performance at the sensor level.<\/p>\n
The new interface maintains\u00a0persistent visibility of detection and disruption data, allowing operators to adjust settings without losing situational awareness. Alignment with\u00a0DroneSentry-C2’s\u00a0interface also reduces training overhead across the ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Key enhancements have included expanded RfAI emitter library with new drone and controller profiles, improved Remote ID performance and stability, emitter prioritisation to suppress low-value signals, and disruption power control by frequency band, enabling precise and compliant operation in regulated or sensitive environments.<\/p>\n
Together, these updates enable more efficient signal detection and calibrated responses, particularly in complex urban or regulatory-constrained environments.<\/p>\n
DroneShield\u2019s DroneSentry-C2,\u00a0DroneSentry-C2 Tactical, and\u00a0DroneSentry-C2 Enterprise platforms also receive enhancements focused on deployment and clarity.<\/p>\n
Operators can now deploy using offline MBTiles maps, ensuring full operational capability in disconnected or bandwidth-limited environments such as expeditionary missions, border operations, and remote infrastructure sites.<\/p>\n
The release has also introduced dedicated fixed-wing drone classification across VisionAI and SensorFusionAI, a timely capability as fixed-wing platforms, often associated with longer-range and higher-impact missions, continue to expand their role in both military and asymmetric threat environments.<\/p>\n
Additional updates have included expanded support for radar and third-party sensors in C2 Tactical, on-the-move navigation enhancements with automatic map orientation, improved SMS alert formatting for critical communications and Microsoft SSO integration for enterprise environments<\/p>\n
The Q2 2026 software release is available across DroneShield\u2019s sensors and effectors and DroneSentry layered defence, with support for Android 10+ and ATAK CIV 5.6+ environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DroneShield has announced its Q2 2026 software release, delivering coordinated updates across its RF sensing, AI, ATAK-CIV plugin,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590239,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-590238","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
