Counter Drone Antennas

The BlackOut series of specialized counter drone antennas uses TACO’s circular polarized helical antenna design. Our BlackOut DH models use our patented dual helical configuration.

The dual band antennas provide complete coverage in the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz and are available in three different gain and dimensions to better suit your specific need. The H-L1L2-13-NF delivers counter drone coverage to the L1 and L2 GPS frequencies.

The recent introduction of our H5800 series antennas are engineered to deliver wideband performance in the 4.9 to 6.0 GHz range with gain from 12 to 18 dBic. Our new DH0911-2412 antenna offers dual band performance in the 900MHz and 2.4GHz frequency bands with gains of 11dBic and 12dBic.

All products deliver industry leading frequency coverage, with a high power output to create maximum energy transmission

With TACO Antenna’s BlackOut series of circularly polarized (CP) helical antennas integrated into your C-UAS
•  Maximum signal loss with the drone’s LP antenna is only 3dB at any orientation
•  Consistently and substantially stronger connection
•  Ensures greater control of the target UAS
