Press Release

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., April 14, 2021 -- WhiteFox Defense Technologies, Inc. has joined a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate. The effort involves performance testing of the DroneFox technology, an omnidirectional drone detection, identification ,and mitigation system.

They typically see with 3-meter level accuracy at a nominal range of 5km and at distances up to 15 km away.
