Hoverfly and BlueHalo Partner to Elevate Passive Counter-UAS and Electronic Warfare Technologies
The "Cloak and Dagger" Counter-UAS solution was recently assessed by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering SANFORD, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2025 / Hoverfly Technologies, the leader in tethered unmanned aerial systems (TeUAS), announced today its latest integration partnership with BlueHalo, the company transforming the future of global defense, which brings BlueHalo's Titan-SV passive RF sensing solution onto Hoverfly's Blue List Certified Spectre TeUAS, augmenting Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) operations with uninterrupted signal detection and threat monitoring. NEW WEAPONS FOR NEW WARFARE "As unmanned technology continues to evolve, so do the challenges associated with countering adversarial drone threats on the modern battlefield", said Bruce Tuftie, Chief Strategy Officer of Hoverfly Technologies. "The proliferation of low-cost, easily accessible unmanned systems has created an urgent need for advanced Counter-UAS tools capable of detecting, tracking, and neutralizing potential threats." BlueHalo's Titan-SV delivers comprehensive 360° surveillance, efficiently localizing malicious UAS to keep operators and installations safe via remote and automated alerting and tracking. Its integration onto Hoverfly Spectre establishes a new benchmark for passive electronic warfare and signals intelligence (SIGINT) by providing persistent, real-time situational awareness from 200 feet in the air. Titan-SV's passive RF sensing capabilities identify and geolocate electromagnetic signals without emitting detectable RF energy, while Spectre provides an uninterrupted 200 ft platform with zero RF emissions. This combined deployment is an elevated cloak and dagger, ensuring operational security while delivering critical intelligence to warfighters and security personnel. A CRITICAL TACTICAL ADVANTAGE During the recent assessment with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD R&E), Hoverfly Spectre flew in challenging conditions - including heavy rain and 25 mph winds - highlighting the resilience and reliability of the Blue List Certified TeUAS. At 200 ft, the tethered drone was able to mitigate tree and terrain interference and extend the range of the passive Titan-SV system, successfully detecting Group 1-3 UAS at further distances. While this integration represents a crucial step forward in the development of a robust, layered, and persistent Counter-UAS capability, it remains a work in progress for further optimization. The recent demonstration with OUSD R&E was an important milestone in proving the concept, but additional refinement and testing are still required to fully mature the solution for operational deployment. "This partnership marks a significant advancement in the future capability set of our Spectre TeUAS," said Steve Walters, President and CEO of Hoverfly Technologies. "By elevating BlueHalo's field-proven and highly effective Titan-SV technology above limiting factors such as terrain and vegetation, we can provide warfighters with a powerful, persistent Counter UAS solution that greatly enhances electronic warfare capabilities while maintaining zero RF signature." A PERSISTENT AERIAL GUARDIAN As adversaries increasingly leverage complex RF-based threats, the need for persistent and passive Counter-UAS solutions has never been greater. The Spectre TeUAS, already recognized for its rugged reliability, will gain an additional force-multiplying capability through this ongoing integration with BlueHalo's Titan-SV solution, and offer a resilient and rapidly deployable tool for defense and homeland security missions.

Hoverfly Spectre Officially Added to DIU Blue List, Cementing NDAA Compliance
The Official VHA-H for the U.S. Army is now the first and only Tethered Drone to be added to the DIU Blue List SANFORD, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 20, 2025 / Hoverfly Technologies proudly announces that the Hoverfly Spectre has officially been selected to be on the DIU Blue List, confirming its compliance with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and significantly simplifying acquisition processes for all Department of Defense (DoD) end users. This milestone is a testament to the unwavering trust the U.S. Government has placed in Hoverfly's cutting-edge tethered UAS technology. With hundreds of systems delivered to DoD customers worldwide, Hoverfly continues to solidify its leadership in the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) market. Hoverfly Spectre's inclusion on the Blue List follows its selection in the inaugural Blue UAS Refresh Competition in Fall 2024. Spectre is now the first and only tethered UAS to achieve this prestigious designation, further distinguishing Hoverfly as a pioneer in delivering reliable, secure, and mission-critical systems. This achievement also comes on the heels of Hoverfly earning Green List certification from AUVSI, a validation that mirrors the stringent Blue UAS cyber security standards for American-made drones. With its placement on the Blue List, the Hoverfly Spectre now holds an Authority to Operate (ATO) across all DoD entities, expanding its reach within the rapidly growing unmanned systems market. The Spectre platform is a fully closed-loop tethered system, transmitting all power and data through its tether for uninterrupted, secure operations. Its payload-agnostic design enables simultaneous use of Variable Height Antenna (VHA) and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) payloads to support diverse mission requirements. Additionally, with its MOSA compliant architecture, Spectre accommodates an array of qualified payloads, including counter-UAS sensors, electronic warfare (EW) systems, targeting gimbals, and more. Hoverfly Spectre's recent selection in the VHA-H competition through PEO Soldier in Fall 2024 further underscores its operational superiority and mission adaptability. "Being added to the DIU Blue List is a monumental step for Hoverfly and the Spectre platform," said Steve Walters, CEO of Hoverfly Technologies. "This achievement reflects our steadfast commitment to providing the DoD with innovative, secure, and compliant tethered UAS solutions that meet the highest standards of reliability and performance. We are honored to continue supporting our defense partners with systems they can trust in every mission."
