Odense, Denmark, 20th May 2025 – Quadsat, expert in UAV-based RF testing and measurement, has entered a strategic collaboration with Skyeton, a Ukrainian manufacturer of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to deliver solutions for monitoring the electromagnetic spectrum. Together the companies are supporting electromagnetic warfare operations, enhancing situational awareness, and strengthening threat response in contested electromagnetic environments.
The partnership combines Skyeton’s fixed-wing UAS platform, Raybird, known for its battlefield-proven performance in Ukraine, with Quadsat’s industry-validated radio frequency (RF) payload and spectrum monitoring technology. Raybird has proven an unmatched endurance and exceptional resilience, making it a natural choice for gathering battlefield intelligence. Quadsat’s test and measurement solutions are relied upon by many of the world’s leading satellite companies to ensure a high level of equipment performance.
The joint solution offers a highly effective, scalable, and tactically agile solution for acquiring real-time electromagnetic spectrum intelligence. It expands Skyeton’s portfolio of mission-ready systems with advanced capabilities for spectrum monitoring and RF emitter detection in complex operational environments.
Klaus Aude, Chief Commercial Officer, Quadsat, commented: “By combining our robust RF payload with Skyeton’s battle-proven UAS, we are able to bring a powerful new solution to the electromagnetic warfare space. The fact that Raybird has exceptional endurance, with up to 28 hours of flight time, while being easy and rapid to deploy, makes it especially practical for defense applications. Quadsat’s technology is platform-agnostic, and our integration with fixed-wing systems is a clear demonstration of that.”
Pavlo Shevchuk, International CEO of Skyeton: “This partnership marks a significant step forward in expanding the capabilities of our Raybird UAS. By integrating Quadsat’s cutting-edge RF technology, we are equipping our platform with an advanced spectrum monitoring tool that is essential for modern operational environments. It’s a natural evolution of our mission to deliver high-endurance, mission-ready systems that provide actionable intelligence when and where it matters most”.
Quadsat and Skyeton will co-exhibit and perform a joint demonstration flight at the International Drone Show 2025 in Denmark from 18th–19th June. The demo will feature Skyeton’s Raybird UAS carrying Quadsat’s RF payload, showcasing real-time spectrum monitoring and RF target detection capabilities.
