Eclipse Product Description

Preface
Eclipse is the premier cyber counter-drone platform designed to automatically detect, take over and safely land unauthorized commercial drones in a designated zone.

Functionality
Eclipse is an autonomous end-to-end cyber solution, providing 4 layers of security:

• Detect – Detecting and locating drones in the vicinity of the perimeter, using a 24/7 monitoring system.
• Identify – Extracting rich real-time data, including the operator’s last known location and flight parameters.
  Friendly drones can be whitelisted according to their serial (tail) number.
• Control – Mitigating airborne drone intrusions by automatically and actively taking over the controls from the operator, navigating the drone to a predefined location, then landing it there safely. Intrusion is defined when a drone tries to enter a predefined geofenced area.
• Prevent – Denying drones from taking off from within a predefined geofenced area.

Technology
Eclipse uses Electronic RF receipt and transmission technologies for the purpose of protecting perimeters from drones, as follows:

• Detect – Uses passive RF scanning methods, in which the relevant spectrum bands (ISM bands) are scanned continuously for known drone communications’ signatures. Once a drone is located, parsing of the telemetry channel provides information about the drone’s location and altitude.
• Control & Prevent (deny takeoff and airborne takeover) – Uses protocol manipulation techniques – essentially to surgically redirect the control from the original drone operator into our system.
  Protocol manipulation is a series of messages sent to the drone that are received as legitimate commands which take over the controls. The controlling channel remains –at all times– without interference and continues to function normally. The level of disruption is minimal and relates only to the drone receiving unexpected command messages.

Operation

Eclipse uses communicating sensors that are installed in several locations around the perimeter. All sensors are connected to a central server, which syncs their operation. The server also displays a Command and Control dashboard for real-time alerts, as well as for configuring the system.

Technical Specs and Limitations

Appendix A – warnings

Appendix A1 – Modification statements

FCC Warning (Modification statement)
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could avoid the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC Rules.

ISED Warning (Modification statement)

Appendix A2 – RF Exposure Warnings

1. Mobile Device RF Exposure Statement (If Applicable):
   1. Mobile Device definition: Mobile: (§2.1091) (b) — A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. Per §2.1091d(d)(4) In some cases (for example, modular or desktop transmitters), the potential conditions of use of a device may not allow easy classification of that device as either Mobile or Portable. In these cases, applicants are responsible for determining minimum distances for compliance for the intended use and installation of the device based on evaluation of either specific absorption rate (SAR), field strength, or power density, whichever is most appropriate.

Statement in UM:

RF Exposure –
For FCC: This device is only authorized for use in a mobile application. At least 20 cm of separation distance between the (Product Name) device and the user’s body must be maintained at all times.

Appendix A3 – FCC/ ISED Regulatory notices

Interference statement (if it is not placed in the device)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Wireless notice
This device complies with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS‐102 of the ISED radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Appendix A3 – FCC Warning

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
