Wingman: Built for Soldiers, Trusted by the Frontlines

At MyDefence, we understand every moment on the battlefield counts. Based on feedback from soldiers on the frontlines, the Wingman detector was created with a singular mission: to keep soldiers safe by countering the threat from hostile drones. 

Our story began with a life-changing conversation between a soldier who had returned home injured from war. A conversation that was more than a moment of reflection – it became the catalyst for our mission. The soldier’s experience highlighted an undeniable need for better tools, stronger protection, and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced on the frontlines with wireless-controlled threats like IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) and later Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). 

As warfare evolved, so did we at MyDefence, shifting our focus from countering IEDs to addressing the challenges posed by UAS.  This sparked an urgent demand for innovative solutions to address the evolving threats on battlefields.  This led to the creation of the Wingman – a lightweight, wearable Counter-UAS solution designed to detect and counter drone threats in real-time. Equipped with advanced spectrum surveillance technology, it ensures real-time awareness of drone activity, empowering soldiers with the tools they need to stay safe and maintain an advantage in unpredictable battlefields. 

A Device Soldiers Can Trust 

The Wingman is more than just a product for protection; it is a soldier-centric innovation. Designed to integrate seamlessly with existing equipment, the Wingman ensures soldiers maintain mobility and focus on their mission. Compact, lightweight, and battle-proven, it provides real-time RF-based drone detection, enabling early warnings critical for rapid decision-making. Soldiers do not need bulky, stationary equipment. Instead, the Wingman offers an intuitive, easy-to-use system that minimizes their physical and cognitive load while maximizing their safety and efficiency. 

Proven in Combat, Built for the Future 

The Wingman has been tested and proven in the most demanding environments, from rugged terrain to urban battlefields. With 2,000 units deployed in Ukraine and thousands more around the world, the Wingman has played a critical role in detecting and neutralizing drone threats, providing soldiers with the tactical advantage they need. By combining mobility, advanced SDR-based RF technology, and automated alerts, the Wingman is a vital tool in the soldier’s arsenal.

Key Features Soldiers Depend On: 

  • Industry leading time of detection. 
  • Direction finding and 360-degree coverage. 
  • Wearable Design: Tailored for seamless integration with existing gear. 
  • Real-Time RF Detection: Early warnings to maintain situational awareness. 
  • Low SWaP: Compact size, reduced weight, and low power consumption ensure high mobility. 
  • ATAK Compatibility: Direct integration with tactical systems for streamlined operations. 
Dedicated to Soldiers, Inspired by Their Sacrifice 

At MyDefence, we do not just design technology -we design solutions inspired by the bravery and sacrifice of those who serve. By collaborating closely with soldiers and listening to their needs, we continue to innovate and refine our products, ensuring they meet the demands of modern warfare and save lives.

MyDefence has also recently launched the Spectrum Warrior, an AI-powered drone detection system designed to provide soldiers with a decisive advantage in electronic warfare. Developed in close collaboration with frontline forces and informed by insights from the battlefield in Ukraine, the Spectrum Warrior captures critical signals and integrates seamlessly with systems like the Android Tactical Awareness Kit (ATAK). This integration enhances threat detection, situational awareness, and battlefield coordination.
