What SpotterRF does

SpotterRF (operating under the trade name Spotter Global) is a U.S.-based, privately held radar systems company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Orem, Utah. The firm designs and manufactures compact, low-power Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) radars for wide-area ground surveillance, with particular specialization in counter-drone detection and perimeter security for defense, government, and critical-infrastructure operators. Its product portfolio spans the C Series (10 GHz military-grade), CK Series (24 GHz industrial), GK/GX Series (Active POE), the GAX500-3D with proprietary Compact Holographic 3D (CH3D™) technology, the AX250 drone-detection radar, Remote Drone ID 2.0, and the Mobile Surveillance Kit (MSK™) — collectively supporting detection ranges from 100 m to 2.4 km across drones, people, vehicles, and boats, with performance through fog, rain, and dust.

The technical architecture is a platform-plus-modules model: radar hardware is paired with NetworkedIO 6.0 for automatic camera cueing, Radar AI and Video AI for false-alarm reduction, and the Integrated Management Center (IMC) for enterprise multi-site monitoring with automatic 10-minute compliance reporting. Reported production and deployment metrics include 10,000+ installed ground radars, 1,300+ protected sites, and 400+ counter-drone radars at critical-infrastructure facilities.

Revenue is generated principally through direct enterprise hardware sales, complemented by recurring software subscriptions (NetworkedIO, IMC) and mobile-deployable solutions. Distribution combines enterprise field sales with engineering-led consultation, a certified partner/reseller program via an online portal, and a public website shop. The company counts the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) as a strategic customer since 2011 and serves primary verticals including military/government and critical infrastructure, alongside secondary use cases in airports, correctional facilities, border security, oil and gas, executive protection, overwater/yacht protection, data centers, and niche applications such as wildlife conservation and aquaculture. Ownership is privately held with no disclosed parent company; strategic investment has been received from In-Q-Tel (2010) and JHH vc (2016).
