TruFlight logo

Product Overview

RTI TruFlight™ is a patent-pending software platform built to revolutionize how organizations evaluate counter-drone technologies. Designed specifically for the testing and benchmarking of drone detection systems, RTI TruFlight enables real-time synchronization of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) flight data with sensor outputs — supporting accurate, repeatable, and unbiased C-UAS performance evaluations while supporting informed procurement and operational deployment. 

By eliminating manual analysis and fragmented workflows, RTI TruFlight delivers faster insights, standardized metrics, and a single interface for comparing multi-sensor drone detection systems in operational environments.

Why Use This Platform

Whether you're working with radar, Radio Frequency (RF), Electro-Optic/Infrared (EO/IR), or acoustic sensors, RTI TruFlight supports objective performance measurement across your counter-UAS system testbed. 

  • Compare Detection Technologies 
    Run side-by-side evaluations of multiple counter-drone sensors across different environments and hardware configurations.
  • Standardized Performance Metrics 
    Measure detection range, false alarm rates, tracking accuracy, and latency — providing actionable insights for procurement and deployment decisions.
  • Real-Time Data Aggregation 
    Collate UAS truth data and sensor outputs into a unified reporting framework for rapid drone tracking analysis.
  • Custom Test Scenarios 
    Define test locations, flight patterns, and mission-specific criteria to ensure and transparent comparisons between vendors or platforms.
  • Automated Reporting 
    Generate data-rich dashboards and detailed summaries for defense acquisition teams, system integrators, test range operators, and technology evaluators. 

The Problem We Solved

Until now, there has been no easy or objective way to compare the performance of different counter-UAS systems in real-world conditions. Evaluators often relied on vendor-provided dashboards, custom-built test tools, or disconnected spreadsheets — all of which required extensive manual workup and introduced significant bias and variability. 

Field tests can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and still fall short of delivering a true apples-to-apples comparison between systems. Key performance questions — like “Which sensor detects earliest?”, “Which system tracks most reliably?”, or “What’s the false alarm rate in this environment?” — were often left unanswered or clouded by inconsistent test design and data handling.  

RTI TruFlight changes that. 

By providing a unified interface that captures, collates, and analyzes multi-sensor drone detection data in near real time, RTI TruFlight enables objective, repeatable, and cost-effective comparisons between C-UAS systems. It synchronizes UAS truth data with sensor outputs, supports custom test scenarios, and generates standardized metrics — eliminating guesswork and empowering evaluators to make confident, data-backed decisions. 

What once required days of data processing and vendor involvement can now be done in hours — with results you can trust.
