Senhive

What Senhive does

Senhive is a Belgian private technology company founded in 2019, headquartered at Corda Campus in Hasselt, that develops passive RF-based drone detection and airspace security solutions for defense, aviation, maritime, and critical infrastructure operators. Its core product, the SENID+ platform, performs non-cooperative detection of commercial and DIY drones across 70 MHz–6000 MHz, including ISM bands, ADS-B, Mode-S, and AIS frequencies, with reported detection ranges of up to 25 km in rural environments and 10 km in urban or RF-saturated areas. The portfolio extends from fixed (Omni) and directional (Sector) sensors to MIL-grade ruggedized variants for vehicle, infantry, and SOF use, supplemented by ADS-B/Mode-S MLAT for cooperative aircraft tracking and AIS integration for maritime awareness.

The technology stack is built in-house from RF front-end through signal processing, sensor fusion, and command & control, with a continuously updated drone library validated through Blue vs Red team testing. Senhive generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of SENID+ sensor units and increasingly through professional services such as risk analysis, UAV-focused penetration testing, spectrum analysis, and custom RF development, with pricing handled on a project/custom basis rather than published list rates. The company sells through a combination of direct enterprise sales and a developing global reseller channel, supported by a C-suite of seven officers and active hiring across partner management, software, and production roles.

Senhive's stated customer base includes European armed forces and special units, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, Brussels Airport/Skeyes, Droneport Sint-Truiden, SkeyDrone/Elia, and police services in Belgium, France, and Germany, with deployments at major international events including the Olympic Games. The company has received investment from regional Belgian backers LRM (Oxigen For Growth) and IMEX iStart, and serves markets across Europe and APAC.

Core offering

Senhive designs, manufactures, and deploys SENID+, a passive radio-frequency (RF) drone detection system that identifies, locates, and tracks commercial and DIY drones up to 25 km in rural terrain. The company complements the sensor with airspace management tools (Remote ID, ADS-B, Mode-S MLAT) and professional services (risk analysis, pentesting, spectrum analysis, custom RF development) sold to defense, aviation, maritime, and critical infrastructure customers.

Product overview

Senhive offers a modular drone detection and airspace security platform centered on the SENID+ product family. The core offering consists of SENID+ and SEN-ID+ variants (Omni and Sector), complemented by specialized military-grade sensor variants. The portfolio is organized into three solution areas: Airspace Security (drone detection with countermeasures, risk analysis, pentesting, spectrum analysis, and custom RF development), Airspace Management (Remote ID, ADS-B, Mode-S MLAT for cooperative drone tracking), and Defence Solutions (ruggedized sensors for military, vehicle, and infantry applications). The platform provides modular building blocks allowing customized solutions based on customer budget and threat levels.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• SENID+ Passive RF drone detection system that detects and locates commercial (COTS) and DIY drones within a radius of up to 25 km using signal analysis. The system detects signals emitted by drones and their remote controls to identify, classify, and track threats; available in Omni (360°) and Sector (directional) configurations plus a MIL-grade ruggedized military variant.
• Risk Analysis Services Professional service to identify potential drone-related risks, determine likelihood and impact, develop mitigation strategies, and provide ongoing monitoring for enterprise and government customers.
• Pentesting & Cybersecurity Services UAV-focused penetration testing combining OSINT and intake interviews to identify drone-related vulnerabilities, with attack simulations using UAVs, spectrum analyzers, and jammers.
• Spectrum Analysis Services RF sensor-based detection of spectrum anomalies including GPS jamming detection, interference hunting, and RF anomaly detection using Senhive's proprietary sensors.
• Custom RF Development Services Custom RF detection solutions, OEM Remote ID transponders, and RF integration services tailored to specific customer requirements.

Direct peers

• Fortem Technologies: Fortem Technologies offers drone detection radars plus drone-hunter interceptors, competing with Senhive in the airspace-protection segment for airports, stadiums and critical infrastructure.
• Robin Radar Systems: Robin Radar builds drone detection radars deployed at airports and military bases across Europe, addressing the same counter-UAS airspace-security needs as Senhive but with a radar (rather than RF-first) approach.
• D-Fend Solutions: D-Fend Solutions provides cyber-based, RF-centric drone takeover and detection systems for airports, prisons and stadiums, directly overlapping Senhive's airspace-security and critical-infrastructure use cases.
• Blighter Surveillance Systems: Blighter produces counter-UAS radar and sensor-fusion systems deployed at airports and on military vehicles; comparable as another European-headquartered C-UAS detection vendor.
• Dedrone: Dedrone is a direct competitor providing RF-based drone detection and counter-UAS solutions for defense, airports, prisons and critical infrastructure globally, matching Senhive's product scope and target customers.
• DroneShield: DroneShield offers RF-based drone detection sensors and counter-measure solutions to defense, law enforcement and airports, making it a directly comparable C-UAS hardware competitor to Senhive.

Broad incumbents

• Anduril Industries: Anduril is a large defense-tech incumbent whose Lattice platform integrates counter-UAS sensing, effector and command-and-control capabilities aimed at the same European and U.S. defense customers as Senhive.
• Thales Group: Thales is a large European defense prime that markets integrated counter-UAS and airspace-management solutions to military and civil aviation authorities, putting it in overlap with Senhive at the buyer level despite much broader scope.
