INDUSTRY UPDATE / RECORD 50
MyDefence announces Wingman Edge wearable RF drone detector.
Unmanned Airspace reported MyDefence's Wingman Edge announcement on 8 October. MyDefence's 6 October release says the wearable combines signature-based RF detection with on-device AI spectrum analysis, weighs below one kilogram, and is designed to classify RF activity beyond a stored library. These are manufacturer statements, not independently verified field results.

WHAT THE PUBLIC RECORD SAYS / 02
Keep stated facts, attribution and evidence limits distinct.
The record documents a vendor's announced wearable RF product direction; it does not establish range, accuracy, critical-infrastructure suitability, procurement, or operational outcomes.
Announcement timing
Unmanned Airspace reported the product announcement on 8 October, while MyDefence's primary release is dated 6 October. The item is an announcement record, not an independent evaluation.
Company-described product functions
MyDefence says Wingman Edge combines signature-based RF detection and continuous on-device AI spectrum analysis, and is designed to analyse and classify RF activity beyond stored library entries.
Specification and compatibility claims
MyDefence states that the device weighs under one kilogram, is 17% lighter than its prior generation, and is designed for backward compatibility with existing MyDefence systems. The reviewed sources do not provide independent testing of these claims.
PROJECT READING / 03
Use the record to frame evidence questions, not to infer outcomes.
Separate announcement from measured result
A product release can document stated direction and intended functions, but cannot replace field evidence, acceptance evidence, or a site-specific suitability assessment.
Keep RF evidence conditional
RF information depends on lawful context, the radio environment, interfaces, protected services, and accountable review. It should not be treated as a universal identity or outcome claim.
Define integration in writing
Compatibility, data ownership, workflow, training, support, and lifecycle responsibility are project questions that require written scope and local validation.
