McQ Ranger:

Redefining Persistence in High-Intensity Conflict ​

Traditional ISR faces extreme risks in contested environments. This case study details how the McQ RANGER family of Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) provides a survivable intelligence layer when airborne assets are denied. Discover how our UGS architecture detects and correlates enemy maneuver to maintain situational awareness across the entire brigade area of operations.

McQ Surveillance Solutions:

Closing the Surveillance Gap

Maximizing Border Security Through Persistent Unattended Sensing

The Challenge: Sector and station leadership often struggle with unpredictable surveillance gaps in diverse terrain, which are frequently exploited by illicit networks due to limited personnel and finite ISR assets.

The Solution: Our latest case study explores how a distributed layer of low-signature sensors provides a continuous detection buffer that works independently of patrol cycles.

The Outcome: By filling critical coverage gaps, these systems enhance operational efficiency and enable faster response timelines, ensuring your existing resources are applied exactly where they are needed most.

Reach Demonstrates Long Range Wireless Power using McQ RANGER at T-REX 25-1

July 21, 2025
Reach’s wireless power system—featuring a transmitter and receiver setup—successfully delivered power to a camouflaged McQ RANGER® Unattended Ground Sensor from up to 200 feet away. Despite being hidden under materials like faux rocks, grass, and other natural vegetation that blocked direct line-of-sight, the system maintained reliable energy transfer. This demonstrated its effectiveness in operational environments where maintaining sensor concealment is critical for tactical success.
