Our products go farther to make your mission easier. From open architecture 3U VPX cards to the industry’s smallest SDR modules, Epiq operates at the forefront of low SWaP, high performance radio architectures—helping you thrive in the evolving defense landscape.
UAS & ALE PAYLOAD
UNMANNED SYSTEMS (UxS) & LAUNCHED EFFECTS (LE)
UxS and LE platforms are more important, and evolving more rapidly, than ever. Smaller payloads demand advanced RF capabilities (such as extensions to 18 GHz and beyond, wider instantaneous bandwidths, and high channel count) all while shrinking the size and power consumption available. The deployment of next gen unmanned systems will push RF awareness and response to the edge - if the SDR industry can keep up. Epiq is ready to rise to the challenge.
ENABLING SMALL PAYLOADS
Epiq’s tiny and extremely low power SDRs can enable cost sensitive, high volume attritable applications such as UxS swarms.
AI / ML AT THE EDGE
By integrating advanced GPU / CPUs into our small form factor SDRs, Epiq is pushing AI and ML techniques to the RF edge.

UxS Payload Form Factors
Customers often ask us for something that can fit into a particular form factor. Here’s how we achieve that.
COUNTER UxS
COUNTER UxS
As UxS technology advances, so does the demand to detect, locate, and identify unmanned platforms. There are many approaches for counter UxS strategies, but RF detection remains the strongest for high probability of detection and low false positives, both of which are ciritcal for mission success. As unmanned systems proliferate, an SDR-based solution is key for field upgrades and responding to a constantly evolving threat landscape: needs that align well with Epiq’s open architecture SDRs.

FAST SCANNING SDRs
Epiq’s SDRs can fast frequency scan with supported rates of multi-GHz to multi-THz-per-second in a single low SWaP
SDR platform.
COUNTER UxS ON THE GO
Our small form factor SDRs can enable counter UxS systems that fit in the palm of your hand, providing UxS threat protection for mobile applications.
SCALABLE UxS AWARENESS
Epiq’s SDRs are architected to scale to enterprise level protection, with hundreds of SDRs working cooperatively to provide complete RF
situational awareness.

DIRECTION FINDING
DIRECTION FINDING
Direction finding, the ability to locate the source of an RF emitter, is vital for RF awareness. In the past, direction finding required high cost, high power consumption, and significant antenna alignment/calibration time. As unmanned and dismounted platforms advance, direction finding solutions need to adapt to lower SWaP and more quickly deployable architectures. Epiq’s small form factor, high channel count solutions support the next generation of direction finding missions.
PROVEN DIRECTION FINDING HERITAGE
Epiq’s commercial SDRs have been fielded on multiple programs of record as the direction finding SDR subsystem, proving their performance in mission critical applications.
ML-ASSISTED DF
Epiq's G40 and X40 SDRs integrate with DeepSig's OmniSig DF software package to provide signal detection and direction finding using machine learning techniques.
