CORVUS-RAVEN
Lightweight portable electronic warfare system providing passive drone detection and situational awareness for dismounted soldiers.
System Overview
What It Is
CORVUS-RAVEN is L3Harris's lightweight, portable electronic warfare system designed to give dismounted soldiers passive detection of drone threats at ranges up to 4 kilometers.
How It Works
The system passively detects RF emissions from drones without emitting signals that could reveal the operator's position. When a drone is detected, it displays the bearing to the threat.
Primary Capability
Passive RF detection of drone threats at extended range with bearing indication for dismounted operators.
Overview
CORVUS-RAVEN addresses the critical need for dismounted troops to detect drone threats without sophisticated fixed infrastructure.
Passive Advantage
Unlike active radar or jamming systems, CORVUS-RAVEN emits no detectable signals, maintaining operator concealment.
