New Zealand Defence Force

Airborne Electronic Warfare and Radio Frequency Sensing Capability

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is seeking a prototype airborne electronic warfare (EW) payload for use on a small unmanned aerial system (UAS). The prototype will provide radio frequency (RF) signal detection, direction finding, and emitter geolocation capabilities, along with a secure communications link incorporating low probability of intercept/low probability of detection (LPI/LPD) characteristics.

NZDF Defence Science & Technology (DST) also requires associated software, technical documentation, testing, integration support, and knowledge transfer. The project is intended as a research and development capability and will provide a practical platform for experimentation, testing, evaluation, and future capability development.
