R2 Wireless
R2 Wireless builds passive RF sensing systems that detect, classify, and geolocate drones and other wireless threats for defense and civilian clients.
R2 Wireless is an Israeli company that develops radio-frequency (RF) sensing and signal-intelligence technology used to detect, classify, and geolocate wireless threats and signal anomalies across the RF spectrum. Its core product, called R2, is a passive, non-radiating sensing system, meaning it listens to ambient RF emissions rather than actively transmitting signals to probe its surroundings, which allows it to operate covertly in both static and mobile settings, and across land, sea, and air environments in a range of weather conditions.
The R2 system combines RF fingerprinting algorithms with machine learning to extract distinguishing characteristics from detected signals, enabling it to identify and record both known and previously unseen or modified wireless devices while aiming to keep false-positive detections low. For geolocation, the system uses Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) techniques when multiple sensors are deployed together, and Angle of Arrival (AoA) estimation when only a single sensor is available, and it can also apply Joint Sensing and Communication (JSC) methods that combine passive RF data collection with AI-based analysis. The company describes its hardware as software-defined and built from commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components, optimized for size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) constraints, and it can run as a standalone detection system or integrate into a customer's existing command-and-control infrastructure through an API.
On the defense side, R2 Wireless markets its system to protect infantry and maneuvering forces, combat vehicles, military bases and asset perimeters, naval forces, and aerial ISR platforms, with the system designed to detect a broad range of threat types including hostile drones and UAVs, electronic-warfare emissions, autonomous vehicles, tactical radios, remote-detonated IEDs, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices, and satellite communications signals, reflecting the company's focus on the RF-heavy character of modern asymmetric warfare.
R2 Wireless also serves civilian and municipal customers through counter-drone and airspace-awareness services. In July 2026, the company partnered with Brazilian firm Ôguen Tecnologias to deploy a citywide Drone Detection as a Service network across São Paulo, extending its passive RF sensing technology from a defense-only tool into a subscription-style urban-airspace-monitoring offering for city governments and public-safety agencies.
Company leadership includes CEO Onn Fenig, Founder and CTO Yiftach Richter, and Cordell Bennigson, who leads the company's U.S. operations, indicating R2 Wireless maintains an active go-to-market presence in the United States alongside its Israeli engineering base. The company can be reached through [email protected] for general inquiries and [email protected] for recruiting, and it maintains an official LinkedIn company page. Its exact founding year, headquarters address, and employee headcount are not published on its website.
