Ombra to Develop RF Sensing System for Special Operations Forces
Ombra LLC announces it has been awarded a contract by the Irregular Warfare Technical Support Directorate (IWTSD) in the amount of $1,174,484.00 to develop EAGLE (Early Airbourne Ground Layered Evaluation) for RF transmitter detection. The contract started in November 2024 and focuses on developing an advanced RF sensing and geolocation system for small unmanned aerial systems (UAS), designed to detect and localize enemy radar and RF transmissions across a wide frequency range, enhancing electronic warfare and situational awareness for Special Operations Forces missions.
“EAGLE represents a paradigm shift in Special Operations capability—our breakthrough RF sensing technology doesn’t just enhance missions, it redefines what’s possible in the most critical scenarios where failure is not an option. This isn’t incremental improvement; this is the future of tactical superiority.” – Michael Fieldson, Founder and President of Ombra.
