Abstract

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) payload includes an adaptive Software Defined Radio (SDR) interface that is configurable to communicate with two or more SDRs using two or more protocols, a UAV interface that is configured to communicate with the UAV and a control circuit connected to the adaptive SDR interface and to the UAV interface. The control circuit is configured to communicate with the adaptive SDR interface and with the UAV interface. The control circuit is configured to receive SDR data from the adaptive SDR interface, receive UAV flight data from the UAV interface and use the SDR data and the UAV flight data to generate Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) data regarding the one or more emitter.
