The Squadron Kit

Resilient perimeter security for a military installation, end to end, in one award. In service with the 502d Security Forces Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio.

Two rows of LOBO towers in the government configuration, with tan equipment boxes, horn speakers, dome cameras and solar panels.

What's in the kit

Ten LOBO towers, an X3 Portal command station and Fleet. Every piece brings its own power and its own network, so the system keeps working when base power or networks go down.

  • LOBO tower, front view, mast raised.

    LOBO towers

    Solar power with battery storage and their own cellular link. 360° cameras with PTZ zoom, talk-down, siren and lights. NDAA-compliant cameras on government builds.

  • X3 Portal: three banks of monitors showing camera feeds and the 3D map, on a rolling cart with a battery case.

    X3 Portal

    A mobile command station with its own secure network and battery backup. Rolls into the BDOC or wherever a command post is needed, with a live wall of every feed and the map.

  • Fleet's 3D map with tower beams over a site.

    Included

    Fleet

    One operating picture: every tower on the 3D map, live feeds and detections, talk-down and lights from one screen. Configured for each mission.

Why it's simple to buy

  • Sole-source eligible

    SBIR Phase III status lets a contracting office award it directly, without a new competition.

  • Under the SAT

    The kit is priced to fit under the simplified acquisition threshold.

  • Proven and fielded

    In service with the 502d Security Forces Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio.

  • Off the base network

    Each tower runs on its own cellular link, so nothing touches base IT and no ATO was needed at JBSA.

Rapidly relocatable by a single operator

  1. 01

    Mast down

    Crank it down. The cameras come within reach.

  2. 02

    Roll

    Pneumatic tires over gravel, dirt or grass. No crane, no concrete.

  3. 03

    Mast up

    Crank it up and the tower is back on watch.

Where squadrons use it

  • Fence lines
  • Gates and ECPs
  • Flightlines
  • Housing areas
  • Expeditionary sites
  • Events and NSSE

Counter-drone research

Drone detection, tracking and defeat, developed on the LOBO platform under SBIR contracts and our own R&D.

  1. 01

    Detect

    Demonstrated

    Radar, thermal, acoustic and RF drone detection on the LOBO platform, demonstrated under an OSD Strategic Capabilities Office SBIR. Acoustic drone detection is now in beta on the tower itself.

  2. 02

    Track

    Tested

    Passive optical tracking at night. In a January 2025 test, every track our tracker confirmed was the drone, with no false tracks.

  3. 03

    Defeat

    In development
