Digital Global Systems (DGS), a specialist in AI-powered RF threat detection and spectrum intelligence, is urging governments worldwide to adopt tactical radio frequency (RF) monitoring as a frontline defense strategy in hybrid warfare. As drone incursions and electromagnetic interference become increasingly common in modern conflicts, DGS emphasizes that real-time RF visibility is no longer optional it is essential for national security resilience.

During the 2026 Cyber Future Dialogue in Davos, DGS executives engaged with policymakers, defense ministries, and technology leaders to examine the evolving relationship between emerging technologies and geopolitical security. Notably, one dominant theme emerged from these discussions: control and awareness of the radio spectrum now play a decisive role in modern warfare environments. As a result, governments must rethink traditional cybersecurity frameworks and expand their focus to include electromagnetic spectrum intelligence.

“After several weeks of CFD, the conclusions are even clearer,” said Fernando Murias, president and CEO of DGS. “The modern battlefield increasingly relies on access to radio spectrum and signal control. What we are seeing in Ukraine and Poland underscores the need to ensure sustained RF situational awareness.”

Indeed, hybrid warfare blends conventional combat tactics with cyber operations and spectrum manipulation. For example, lessons drawn from Ukraine demonstrate that managing the electromagnetic environment can directly influence operational outcomes. Therefore, without continuous and real-time RF monitoring, hostile signals or suspicious drone communications may go undetected within the same spectrum used by military systems, critical infrastructure, and national communications networks.

Moreover, as defense systems, energy grids, and next-generation wireless networks increasingly depend on RF bandwidth, digital network protection alone no longer provides comprehensive security. Instead, governments must integrate electromagnetic situational awareness into their national defense strategies. Failure to do so could expose sensitive infrastructure to signal interference, drone incursions, or coordinated hybrid attacks.

To address these challenges, DGS offers AI-driven RF spectrum intelligence through its CLEARSKY™ platform. The system continuously analyzes signals across the full RF spectrum in real time, enabling defense operators to detect anomalies before they escalate into security incidents. In addition, DGS’s Drone Threat Monitoring System scans frequency bands from 40 MHz to 6 GHz and identifies unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in under two seconds without relying on a pre-existing drone signature library.

Through advanced detection, classification, and geolocation capabilities, the CLEARSKY platform enables governments to:

  • Detect and classify unusual RF activity in real time
  • Identify drone communications and electronic interference
  • Maintain continuous spectrum visibility across defense and infrastructure systems
  • Proactively manage and neutralize RF-based threats before escalation

By leveraging artificial intelligence, DGS strengthens spectrum surveillance while reducing response time. Consequently, defense agencies can shift from reactive response models to proactive threat mitigation strategies.

“The Davos talks confirmed what front-line experience in Ukraine has already shown,” Murias said. “A government that lacks access to the radio spectrum cannot ensure its full defense. Continuous monitoring of the radio spectrum must become a key element of national security planning.”

As hybrid warfare continues to evolve, DGS maintains that electromagnetic domain awareness will become a foundational pillar of modern defense frameworks. Ultimately, sustained RF spectrum monitoring may prove as critical as traditional cyber defense in safeguarding national sovereignty and preventing drone-driven escalation.
