Princeton, New Jersey, January 13, 2026 /PressReleasePoint/ — BANC3, Inc., a defense technology company specializing in spectrum surveillance, signal intelligence (SIGINT), and software defined radio systems, announced continued advancement of its defense capabilities through the SignalEye™ spectrum surveillance platform and participation in the Strategic Homeland Integrated Ecosystem for Layered Defense (SHIELD) program. Modern military operations increasingly depend on reliable monitoring of the electromagnetic spectrum. Advanced monitoring platforms are becoming essential as defense forces encounter rapidly changing radio frequency signals and electronic warfare threats. SignalEye™ was developed to help detect and analyze complex signal activity across multiple operational environments.

SignalEye™ provides real time radio frequency monitoring designed for modern defense operations. The system captures a wide range of signals simultaneously using wideband sensing technology. Traditional monitoring systems often struggle to detect frequency agile signals or rapidly changing transmissions. SignalEye™ improves spectrum visibility by enabling continuous monitoring and signal analysis in complex electromagnetic environments.

The platform supports deployment across several operational domains including space, air, sea, and ground environments. SignalEye™ can be integrated into intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft, satellite systems, naval platforms, and unmanned aerial systems. This scalable design allows the platform to support different mission requirements and defense operations. The system architecture allows operators to maintain awareness of electromagnetic activity across diverse operational scenarios.

SignalEye™ is built on a software defined architecture that allows the platform to evolve as mission requirements change. Software upgrades enable the addition of new capabilities without requiring major hardware modifications. This design approach helps maintain long term operational value while allowing the system to adapt to emerging signal intelligence challenges. Integration capabilities also allow the platform to work with existing defense command and control systems.

BANC3 was also selected by the Missile Defense Agency under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract supporting the Strategic Homeland Integrated Ecosystem for Layered Defense program. The SHIELD program represents a multi award framework focused on strengthening next generation missile defense and space domain protection capabilities. The program has a total potential value of up to 151 billion dollars and focuses on integrating sensing, communications, and command systems. BANC3 will contribute radio frequency technologies and spectrum awareness capabilities designed to enhance monitoring of complex electromagnetic environments.

“This award reflects the Department of Defense’s confidence in BANC3’s ability to deliver mission relevant RF and spectrum capabilities,” said Babu Cherukuri, Chief Executive Officer of BANC3. “Spectrum awareness and software defined RF systems play an increasingly important role in modern defense operations, particularly in space and contested electromagnetic environments.”

Radio frequency spectrum monitoring has become an important component of national security operations. Communications networks, navigation systems, radar platforms, and intelligence systems rely heavily on reliable spectrum access. Electronic warfare threats such as jamming, interference, and signal spoofing continue to increase across modern conflict environments. Technologies that provide improved situational awareness across the electromagnetic spectrum are therefore becoming increasingly important for defense missions.

Recent discussions regarding potential increases in U.S. defense spending highlight the growing importance of advanced air and space defense capabilities. Expanded investment in defense technology may accelerate development of satellite constellations, advanced sensors, and spectrum monitoring platforms. Companies developing RF and software driven defense technologies may see expanded opportunities in these areas. BANC3 continues to focus on technologies designed to improve spectrum awareness and operational reliability across modern defense systems.
