Kestrel Hawk-Eye Optical Probe

Our Technical Research and Standards Group (TRSG) is pleased to announce Visible Light Communication (VLC) and infrared hardware-based detection for use with the Kestrel TSCM Professional Software and, both single and multiple Signal Hound BB60C and SA44B SDR hardware. In light of (no pun intended), the emerging commercialization of optical and photonic technology, such as high-power optical point-to-point communications, the emergence of LIFI, fiber-optic communications, and other optical laser related devices, we have introduced the Kestrel Hawk-Eye Optical Probe. Along with the release of the Hawk-Eye, and as expected by our expanding client base, we have also developed a best practice methodology and have released supplemental documentation that fully describes the implementation and deployment process relative to the detection and identification of optical threats within an Operator Defined Target Area. Our technology design provides a wide aperture detection window to reduce the time-on-target required to effectively process, identify and separate optical noise from optical signal events during deployment. The ability to connect and RF antenna and optical probe for simultaneous collection of both radio-frequency and optical threats is fully supported. In-fact, the operator can cascade both radio-frequency and optical detection, or cascade multiple Hawk-Eye Optical Probes for live event monitoring scenarios. The ability of the Kestrel TSCM Professional Software to deploy multiple radios, across multiple bands make the above new capability possible. Our new innovative technology now supports dimensional (optical) geo-location heat mapping! Our next generations KPI (ceiling mount) antenna, KP II (Portable) antenna, and KP V 3G | 4G | LTE | 5G antenna, can now be delivered with OPT KHE (Kestrel Hawk-Eye) technology built in, to support operator assisted detection strategies, and autonomous optical dimensional geo-location heat mapping capability. Our Hawk-Eye Optical Probe is completely passive and utilizes a cascaded design structure with a wide detection aperture that supports simultaneous radio-frequency and optical capture using multiple bands across a single or dedicated multiple radio deployment environment.
