Fiber-Optic Unmanned Systems
Air and undersea vehicles controlled over fiber-optic tether, immune to RF jamming and hard to detect, including fiber-laying drones that extend comms to forward positions.
Defense technology · Small business
Unmanned systems that stay connected when RF goes dark.
WarDuck Labs, an SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business), builds fiber-optic unmanned systems, passive RF sensing and persistent ISR platforms for warfighters operating in jammed and contested environments.

Capabilities
Built for the contested edge
We focus on technologies that keep operators informed and connected when the electromagnetic spectrum is denied, degraded or watched.
Passive RF & Spectrum Sensing
Man-portable, listen-only sensors that give small units awareness of the electromagnetic battlespace with a simple interface and no emissions of their own.
Persistent ISR Platforms
Long-endurance lighter-than-air and tethered concepts, including airships powered from unmanned surface vessels, for persistent maritime and littoral surveillance.
Photonics & Test
Fiber and photonics engineering, prototyping and test support to move concepts from the lab bench toward field demonstration.
Approach
From warfighter problem to fielded prototype
Small-team speed, built around what operators will actually carry, use and trust. Our team spans every enlisted rank from E-1 to E-9, so the people who carry the gear help shape it.
Define the gap
Start with the mission need and the threat environment, especially jamming, detection and network security.
Prototype fast
Build low-cost, testable prototypes using proven commercial components wherever they meet the requirement.
Single-Mode Fiber Optic Drone
Applied RF Sciences
Applied OSI Layers 1–7 Active and Passive Security
Test and iterate
Validate in realistic conditions with end-user feedback, then refine toward a transition path.
