Passive, edge-native detection and classification of Group 1–3 drones. The platform listens, classifies on-device, and never transmits.
Never the beacon
SIG Detection
One passive receiver on a Jetson at the edge, listening across the band with zero emissions. Here’s what it separates out of the noise today — with more classification on the roadmap.
L1 · ENERGY / PRESENCE
An always-on energy detector flags anything rising above the local noise floor, across the band. The first, radio-agnostic sign that something is in the air.
iTerra is built by operators and engineers. Our team brings 15+ years of special operations intelligence, an active TS/SCI clearance, multi-billion-dollar program leadership at Northrop Grumman and Microsoft Federal, and production machine learning shipped at Flock Safety, Motorola Solutions, and CACI.
SEC.01 Mission
Ukraine ended the friendly-skies assumption. The drone threat now lives at the squad and platoon level, and those echelons are blind.
Every sensor that emits or phones home enters the enemy's electronic order of battle. The emitter becomes the target. The surviving sensor listens, classifies at the edge, and never transmits.
iTerra exists to make airspace awareness organic equipment for every squad — passive, edge-native, and silent — so American and allied forces are never blind to the drone threat and never become the beacon that gets them targeted.
SEC.02 Platform
01 Listen
The platform detects Group 1–3 UAS activity by listening to the RF environment. No radar. No emissions. No signature for an adversary to find.
02 Classify
Signal-type classification and DJI DroneID decode run entirely on NVIDIA AGX-class compute at the sensor. No cloud, no connectivity dependency. Built for denied, degraded, intermittent, and limited environments from day one.
03 Report
Decoded tracks publish directly into ATAK and Anduril Lattice as native Cursor-on-Target (CoT). The airspace picture arrives inside the tools operators already fight with.
// Defense
Squad and expeditionary formations operating where emitting is fatal.
// Homeland
Persistent low-altitude awareness across wide, austere terrain where towers and radar do not reach.
// Infrastructure
Energy, ports, airfields, and venues that need the low-altitude picture without broadcasting that they are watching.

SEC.03 Integration
Cursor-on-Target native. Tracks publish into ATAK and Anduril Lattice without translation layers, so the awareness layer plugs into the kill web others have already built. We provide the eyes; downstream systems make the decisions.

SEC.04 Team
We are a team of operators and engineers who spent careers watching the electromagnetic spectrum get people found. We build for the operator in the field, not the analyst at the desk.
SEC.05 The Forward Node
Puerto Rico is the United States. A domestic manufacturing node aligned to Berry Amendment and Section 889 supply-chain requirements, with SOUTHCOM adjacency, year-round maritime and airspace test exposure, and Spanish-language operator capability for the hemisphere.
We built here on purpose.
