Overview

Problem Jamming and spoofing attacks challenges PNT across the globe. T-ROK systems are expensive, large profile (targets) that need a lot of bandwidth to network.

Solution Zephr has built a capability to use smartphones (TAK devices) to create a sensor network to map areas of jamming/spoofing impact and geolocate emitters for targeting. It can run locally or networked.

Field Validation The Zephr system has been extensively tested against jamming in Ukraine as well as teleportation/push spoofers in Israel. The team will be testing at APEX, Jammertest and UK NAVWAR.

Technology Maturity (TRL) TRL 7 Strategic Advantage Zephr uses the cheap omni-directional smartphone antennas to determine directionality + magnitude of jamming/spoofing attacks. Our multi-receiver networking capability fuses data into a COP. Patents 12,038,513, 12,061,268, 12,117,533

Go-to-Market Access The team has a D2P2 SBIR with AFRL to integrate with TAK. We've also worked with the NSIN Propel program, attending exercises above and partnered with TAG the MGUE prime.

Dual-Use Potential Zephr's commercial positioning system and AI navigation for smartphones is being piloted by Honda, Suzuki, Meta, Grab, Uber, Overture, Ericsson, Rx Networks, Amazon and Samsung

Team The Zephr team has built three previous startup in the geospatial domain with exits to ESRI, Maxar and Snapchat. The team is over 50% PhD's.

Competitive Landscape The legacy T-ROK systems are sold by Thales/BAE - Zephr is cheaper, low profile, low weight, low bandwidth and integrates with TAK.

Primary User TAK users in contested environments - specifically CEWOs in SOCOM, Army, AFSOC

User-Critical Problem Your TAK device is being jammed or spoofed and you want to either target the emitter or maneuver around the impacted area.
