QuadSAT (Denmark) – Drone-Based Satellite Antenna Testing & Calibration

About this report

QuadSAT is a Danish deep-tech company that has transformed a niche yet critical aspect of the space and defense industry: the testing and calibration of satellite communication antennas using drones.

Founded in 2017 in Denmark, QuadSAT emerged from the recognition that conventional methods of antenna validation were cumbersome and costly, often requiring dedicated infrastructure or live satellites. By contrast, QuadSAT’s approach uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with specialized radio-frequency (RF) payloads to emulate satellites and conduct precise measurements .

Key questions this report answers

• What drone-based satellite antenna testing and calibration (UAVs with RF payloads emulating satellites) does QuadSAT provide?
• How mature is its UAV-based antenna validation and how does it fit space and defence needs?
• What partners, customers and dual-use markets does the Danish firm serve?
• What capability gaps and dependencies shape QuadSAT's role?
