Pan Tilt Antenna Platform for Counter-Drone RF Monitoring Systems in Southeast Asia

The end user of this project is a regional system integrator specializing in security and RF monitoring solutions. The customer focuses on delivering integrated counter-drone and airspace awareness systems for government agencies, critical infrastructure operators, and industrial facilities across Southeast Asia.

With extensive experience in outdoor deployments, the integrator required a mechanically robust pan tilt platform capable of supporting heavy directional antennas with high positioning accuracy and long-term stability.

Project Background

The rapid growth of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased the demand for advanced airspace awareness and drone monitoring solutions across Southeast Asia. In many security-sensitive environments, counter-drone systems rely on radio frequency (RF) monitoring to detect, analyze, and track unauthorized drone activity.

Directional antennas are widely used in these systems to improve signal sensitivity and directional accuracy. To ensure reliable performance, these antennas require precise and repeatable positioning, especially in outdoor installations exposed to wind, humidity, and long-term environmental stress.

Project Requirements

• Precise azimuth and elevation control for directional antennas  

• Stable mechanical support for heavy antenna assemblies  

• Outdoor operation in tropical environments  

• High positioning accuracy for antenna preset and repeatability  

• Compatibility with counter-drone and airspace monitoring systems  

Solution Overview

ZIWIN provided a heavy-duty pan tilt antenna platform specifically designed for demanding RF monitoring applications. The selected model supports antenna payloads of up to 50 kg, making it suitable for large directional antenna assemblies commonly used in counter-drone systems.

The pan tilt platform features a preset positioning accuracy of ±0.1°, enabling precise and repeatable antenna alignment during initial installation and subsequent operation. This level of accuracy ensures reliable directional coverage and consistent RF monitoring performance in long-term outdoor deployments.

As a mechanical positioning solution, the pan tilt platform does not process RF signals itself, but serves as a critical support structure that ensures accurate antenna orientation and stable system performance under continuous environmental exposure.

System Configuration

• Heavy-duty pan tilt antenna platform (50 kg payload capacity)  

• Directional antennas for RF monitoring applications  

• Pole-mounted outdoor installation  

• Remote control interface for antenna positioning  

• Preset positioning accuracy: ±0.1°  

Results and Benefits

• Stable support for heavy antenna payloads up to 50 kg  

• Accurate and repeatable antenna positioning with ±0.1° precision  

• Improved directional sensitivity for RF monitoring  

• Reliable operation under tropical outdoor conditions  

• Reduced maintenance requirements for system integrators  

Compliance and Application Scope

This solution is intended as a mechanical antenna positioning platform for counter-drone and airspace monitoring systems. ZIWIN does not provide RF transmission, signal interference, or drone neutralization equipment. The pan tilt antenna platform supports lawful applications such as signal monitoring, direction finding, and system integration in accordance with local regulations.
