Mission Darkness™ // Counter-UAS

Drone Ops Rapid Cinch

A field-deployable Faraday enclosure for drone recovery, forensic analysis, and evidence preservation. Load a seized UAV through the wide cinch opening, close it in seconds, and work on it through gloves and a viewing window while it stays cut off from every outside signal.

Seized Is Not the Same as Silent

A recovered drone can still re-link to its operator, stream telemetry, or receive a wipe command. Two layers of TitanRF™ Faraday Fabric, certified to MIL-STD-188-125 and IEEE 299-2006, block wireless signals from low MHz through 40 GHz so the aircraft and its data stay exactly as they were found.

Ready to Deploy, or Built Into Yours

Most teams choose the complete system, ready to use out of the case. The interface plate is also sold on its own, so you can build the same gloved, shielded access into your own Faraday enclosure. It is not limited to drones. Any device you need to handle or examine in isolation can be worked on through it.

Need Different Ports?

If the standard USB or multiport filter does not cover what your application needs to connect, we can quote a custom filter configuration for the complete system or the standalone plate. Tell us what you need to pass through the wall and how the unit will be used.

Hands Inside, Signals Out

A rigid aluminum plate gives operators direct, sealed access to the drone for inspection, repair, and data extraction.

  • Conductive GlovesTwo double-layer conductive gloves for precise handling inside the enclosure. Gloves are user-replaceable, and a spare set is included with the complete system.
  • RF-FilterVu™ WindowA transparent 9.4" × 3.5" viewing window keeps the drone in sight while shielding stays intact.
  • Integrated LightingTwo LED lights illuminate the interior for low-light work.
  • Modular Filter PlateA shielded, dual-sided filter carries data and power through the wall for high-speed extraction and long-term charging. Filter plates are interchangeable and user-replaceable.
USB FilterOne shielded USB 2.0 port with a USB A/M to A/M exterior cable.
Multiport FilterAC power, RJ45 Ethernet, and two USB 2.0 ports, with short and long RJ45 cables and an AC power cable.

04 // Rapid Cinch Closure

Wide Open, Then Sealed in Seconds

A drawstring cinch replaces folded or magnetic seals, leaving a wide, unobstructed opening for larger airframes and a fast close in the field.

  • Dual CinchTwo drawstring closures pull the opening shut without folding or rolling.
  • Faraday CapAn attached cap covers the cinch for a third layer of signal protection.
  • Ballistic Nylon ExteriorA rugged, wear-resistant outer shell over the dual TitanRF lining for field use.
Field to Lab

At Home on the Bench, Not Just in the Field

Lightweight and portable, the Rapid Cinch moves between field recovery and laboratory analysis. The same enclosure that secures a drone on scene can host the forensic work that follows.

07 // Applications

Where Teams Put It to Work

Drone Forensics

Recover flight logs, media, and telemetry from seized aircraft without exposing them to outside signals.

Field Isolation

Contain downed or captured UAVs on scene, before transport to a lab.

Counter-UAS

Support recovery and exploitation after a drone has been brought down.

Evidence Preservation

Hold a drone in an isolated state for triage and chain-of-custody handling.

Secure Extraction

Pull data through the shielded filter in RF-restricted environments.

On-Scene Repair

Examine and work on electronics hands-on while they stay shielded.

Beyond Drones

The shielded design and modular connectivity work for a wide range of electronic devices. For a portable enclosure built specifically for digital forensics, see the BlockBox Touch Pro. To add the same gloved access to an enclosure you already have, see the integration components.

Usage Warning

The Faraday material and conductive gloves will become defective with extended water contact or any punctures. Do not use the enclosure to hold wet devices or carry unprotected sharp objects.

08 // Integration Components

Build It Into Your Own Enclosure

Add hands-on, shielded manipulation to a Faraday enclosure or structure you already operate. The same interface plate used on the Rapid Cinch works for drones or any other device you need to handle, charge, or examine in isolation. The surface you mount it to decides which component you need.

Filter Plate + Stand

For tents, capsules, and Faraday bags

Fabric walls cannot hold a rigid plate upright on their own. The stand takes its weight and holds it at working height while the fabric wall seals around it. Shown built into a CYPHERCYLENT™ Faraday Capsule.

For shielded boxes, chambers, and rooms

A rigid shielded structure supports the plate on its own, so it mounts directly with no stand. Shown mounted to a SCIF wall.
