The Portable Cyberdeck is designed to address a critical gap in field intelligence: the inability to monitor and correlate radio frequency activity with real-time environmental awareness in offline or remote conditions. In scenarios like disaster zones, search and rescue operations, or remote field exploration, professionals often lack access to centralized data, internet connectivity, or bulky, multi-device setups. This leads to slower situational assessment, safety risks, and missed critical signals in the environment.
Traditionally, tasks like detecting emergency beacons, tracking signal interference, or observing real-world surroundings require separate tools—RF analyzers, satellite receivers, handheld cameras, or even laptops. These setups are not only cumbersome but also impractical in field scenarios where space, power, and speed matter. Our cyberdeck condenses all of this into a single, compact unit—combining a Raspberry Pi, RTL-SDR for radio signal detection, OAK-D Lite for object tracking and depth perception, and a custom-built keyboard for direct control.

The device enables users to visually observe anomalies in the radio spectrum in real time, while simultaneously scanning the environment for people, movement, or objects using the depth-sensing AI camera. This unique fusion of “signal + sight” allows, for example, a rescuer to detect a radio distress spike and instantly correlate it with a person detected nearby—without needing any internet or cloud connection. In urban settings, it can be used to scan for unauthorized transmissions or visually monitor high-risk areas. In wildlife research, it allows biologists to detect animal collar beacons and visually track motion from a safe distance.
