EMCON-grade Faraday isolation, counter-UAS containment, field-expedient shielding, and forensic exploitation capability. Our Faraday products are certified to MIL-STD-188-125 and IEEE 299-2006. Stocked in New Zealand.
Operational Doctrine
Six capability areas, inside established doctrine.
Faraday isolation is the personal-device emission control layer inside an EMCON discipline. The products we present on this page have been specifically designed for the military, and slot into established OPSEC, EMSEC, and TSCM postures. Each area below pairs doctrine with equipment.
Operational Pathways
Six capability areas, mapped to product.
Counter-UAS, rapid-deploy shielded workspaces, forensic exploitation, and Faraday hardware – we have you covered.
Faraday isolation across the operator's personal loadout – digital devices, radios, GPS, and optics. The Dry Shield line is fully water submersible – waterproof sleeves for phone / tablet / laptop, MOLLE pouches for mixed carry, and a 40L backpack. Detachable sleeves on the Mission Darkness Odin Guard Backpack let an operator hand off a device-specific sleeve and keep moving.
Three-stage workflow from rapid neutralisation to covert transport to field-deployable forensic examination. A captured drone is an intelligence asset for command-link analysis, electronic warfare, and geolocation.
Deployable room-scale Faraday enclosures, erected in minutes. Two options: OffGrid for standard sizing and configurations, Mission Darkness CYPHERCYLENT for modular configuration with multi-vestibule and HEPA options. Both packaged in east to transport hard cases.
Faraday shielding for forward-deployed equipment - generators, solar stations, comms kit, rifle optics, and integrated electronics. MIL-STD-188-125 compliant across the range. The waterproof Rapture 1,060L is large enough for a complete forward-deployed loadout.
On-scene Extraction
Portable Faraday workstations for on-scene mobile device extraction. The Pro variants share a patented alodine-coated aluminium glove mount; the USB variant is collapsible for forward triage. Cellebrite, GrayKey, XRY, and Belkasoft X all operate inside the shielded workspace.
Forensic AI analysis of extracted device data, running fully on-device. All processing stays inside the cleared environment. For sensitive compartmented spaces, air-gapped systems, and chain-of-custody rules that prohibit cloud processing.
CAPTURE TO INTELLIGENCE
Counter-UAS containment & drone intelligence
A downed drone is a live command link, a potential remote trigger, and a geolocation intelligence asset. Flight logs contain launch point coordinates. Waypoints map the operator’s preferred routes. Photo and video EXIF carries GPS stamps. Paired controllers expose the operator’s mobile device. Every minute a captured drone stays connected is a minute the opposition can use to wipe that intelligence or reactivate the aircraft. Containment converts that minute into targeting data on the people who launched it.
Rapid-deploy dome-style Faraday cover in multi-layer TitanRF Flex Faraday Fabric. Deploys in under ten seconds via a 4–12 ft telescoping pole, letting operators place the cloak over a downed drone from standoff distance. Suppresses command, video, telemetry, and remote-trigger signals before the drone can be reactivated, used as a detonation trigger, or used to call in a second-wave asset. Folds like a windshield sunshade for pack transport.
Built for EOD, tactical units, and military response. Operates from standoff distance, without ground power.
Two layers of high-shielding TitanRF Faraday Fabric in water-resistant ballistic nylon, dual paired seam construction. Interior 34 × 8 × 32 cm fits most commercial and military quadcopters plus controllers. Kit includes padded fire-resistant case for the removable battery (17 × 8 × 6 cm) and a neoprene cinch bag for propellers. Developed in collaboration with V2 Forensics.
Moves the asset without revealing the recovery team's position. Preserves chain of custody. Keeps volatile battery isolated from the airframe.
Field-deployable RF-isolated containment with a rigid aluminium interface plate, two double-layer conductive gloves, and patented RF-FilterVu transparent viewing window. Modular filter interface accepts shielded power and data connections for on-drone extraction without breaking signal isolation. Wide-mouth cinch opens for rapid drone insertion and seals for examination.
Begins exploitation in the field. Reduces the window from capture to usable intelligence. Shares the alodine-coated aluminium glove-mount architecture with the BlockBox Touch Pro workstations: same family, different device class. Pairs with a CYPHERCYLENT tent for multi-operator forensic workflow.
The data on a captured drone is tactical intelligence in its own right. Launch point GPS, flight path, waypoints, operator controller ID, paired mobile device, cloud-synchronised flight history. One captured drone can populate all four data stores below.
We supply the forensic platforms that read this data. The software below operates inside our shielded environments - Drone Ops Rapid Cinch for single-drone field extraction, a CYPHERCYLENT tent for multi-operator workflow with multi-device exploitation running in parallel.
A shielded environment, anywhere
Rapid-deploy shielded tent systems
A Faraday tent is a deployable RF-controlled environment that can be erected in minutes wherever signal isolation is needed. Forward operating positions. Sensitive briefing spaces inside non-purpose-built buildings. Forensic exploitation sites. TSCM operations. Anywhere signal isolation is needed and a permanent SCIF is not available, a deployable tent creates a shielded environment within minutes.
We supply two complementary options – OffGrid is the proven, pre-configured option; Mission Darkness CYPHERCYLENT is the modular, configurable option, with multi-vestibule and HEPA-filtered configurations available for sustained occupancy in demanding environments.
Both OffGrid and Mission Darkness Faraday fabrics used in their tents are certified to MIL-STD-188-125 and IEEE 299-2006.
Two pre-configured packages or custom options available. Dual-layer VegaWrap Ag (SILVER over copper over nickel over polyester) with urethane protective coating. Faraday-thread, heavy-duty seams. Double-wall construction. Maintains shielding attenuation levels exceeding 90 dB even after 5000+ door openings.
Built-in: Two shielded honeycomb vents, shielded power, shielded Ethernet, EMI-hardened LED, removable rubber-mat floor.
Transport: Two Pelican-type travel cases.
Procurement: Lead time 8–12 weeks.
Two layers of TitanRF Faraday fabric (copper and nickel over polyester).Lightweight carbon-fibre frame with modular corner joints. Tensioning strap system.
Built-in (modular): Shielded connector panels, shielded venting (HEPA option), environmental monitoring, power control, Faraday windows. Triple Chamber includes forensic phone wormhole.
Transport: Reusable utility cases with wheels and handles.
Procurement: Lead time up to 6 weeks.
Create a shielded environment inside a military tent, vehicle compound, or non-purpose-built building. Cleared comms, document handling, and classified meetings without fixed-site infrastructure.
Multi-chamber configuration delivers a vestibule for chain-of-custody intake, a processing chamber for extraction tooling, and a storage chamber for evidence in transit. Cellebrite, GrayKey, XRY, Oxygen, and Belkasoft X all operate inside the chamber.
Establish a known-clean RF baseline inside the tent. Detection inside the controlled environment isolates emissions from objects brought in, while ambient noise from the operating area is filtered by the shield.
We can assist with scoping your Faraday tent requirements and custom specifications, and provide a quote for your budgetary review. The tents are shipped direct from the supplier to our customers.

Inside the shielded environment
The software layer
Faraday containment gives you a digitally preserved device. The software layer allows extraction of usable intelligence. Belkasoft X, Detego, BelkaGPT, and xBit cover device extraction, field triage, on-device AI analysis, and case management. All four operate inside the Faraday enclosures and tent systems outlined above. We supply and support the following software as an Authorised Reseller, with training delivered through our Authorised Belkasoft Training Partner status and our Belkasoft Certified Instructor.
Mobile, desktop, cloud, and drone forensic extraction in one platform. Parses paired mobile devices to extract flight history, operator identity, and application telemetry. The drone, the controller, and the operator's phone are read by one platform. Lab-depth analysis downstream of field triage.
Explore Belkasoft X →Rapid assessment of captured devices at the point of recovery. Pulls the intelligence that matters in minutes, before the device moves to deep lab extraction. Field-speed, triage-first. Pairs with Belkasoft X: triage upstream, deep analysis downstream.
Explore Detego →AI analysis of extracted forensic data. Runs fully offline, with all processing local to the workstation. For sensitive compartmented spaces, air-gapped systems, and chain-of-custody rules that prohibit cloud processing.
Explore BelkaGPT →Case management for forensic workflows. Chain-of-custody tracking, examiner workload, evidence lifecycle, audit trail. Ties extraction output from Belkasoft X and triage output from Detego into a defensible case record.

Procurement, doctrine, capability
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from procurement officers, operators, and intelligence staff evaluating our digital forensics and Faraday products for defence and law enforcement.
Why should a defence procurement team consider Mission Darkness or OffGrid over an existing supplier?
Two reasons. First, shielding certifications. Both brands manufacture to MIL-STD-188-125 and IEEE 299-2006, with independent Keystone Compliance test reports available.
Second, product breadth. Mission Darkness spans MOLLE pouches through to triple-chamber forensic tents with a full chain-of-custody workflow. OffGrid has a similar range, with it’s tents using the premium VegaWrap Ag Faraday fabric (SILVER over copper over nickel over polyester). Custodi is the Authorised Reseller for both brands in New Zealand.
What is the difference between the OffGrid Faraday Tent and the Mission Darkness CYPHERCYLENT?
Both deliver room-scale RF isolation with impressive dB-certified shielding. OffGrid offers two pre-configured models, as well as custom built sizes to meet your needs. The Mission Darkness CYPHERCYLENT tents are modular: configurable option set, multi-vestibule available, RFMagLink magnetic-only door, HEPA venting option. For standard requirements, choose OffGrid. For more complex or multi-chamber requirements, choose CYPHERCYLENT.
How is BelkaGPT different from other forensic AI tools?
BelkaGPT runs fully on-device. All AI processing stays local to the workstation, so no evidence data leaves the cleared environment. For law enforcement, military, and intelligence work operating in sensitive compartmented spaces, on air-gapped systems, or against chain-of-custody rules that prohibit cloud processing, on-device AI is the required architecture. Belkasoft built BelkaGPT specifically for that use case.
Can the DroneCloak really neutralise a drone in under ten seconds?
Under ten seconds is the deployment time claimed by Mission Darkness for the cloak itself once the operator has closed to pole range. It does not include closing distance to the drone. The capability the product provides is standoff neutralisation of a downed drone: the operator extends the 4–12 ft telescoping pole, drops the dome-style cloak over the aircraft, and suppresses command, video, telemetry, and remote-trigger signals. The drone is neutralised without contact, without powering down the aircraft, and from a safe distance. Further information and product videos are available on the product page.
Are Mission Darkness and OffGrid products Berry Compliant?
Berry Compliance applies to US Department of Defense procurement and specific product lines, requiring that strict high-quality USA-made standards are met. The OffGrid Faraday Tent X-Large is Berry Compliant, and OffGrid offer a range of products made in the USA. Mission Darkness offers custom Berry Compliant versions of their products, including tents, and most of their products are assembled in the USA.
For New Zealand Defence Force, Pacific partner agencies, or coalition procurement where Berry-equivalent sourcing assurance is required, we can supply compliance documentation and quotes on request.
Can products be custom-labelled for a specific unit or agency?
Yes. Mission Darkness offers woven labels applied for bulk orders. Most of their Faraday bags feature a transparent velcro-sealable pocket for business cards, agency markings, or removable identification. OffGrid offers several products that feature a transparent zipper pocket for evidence tags and ID cards. Contact us for a quote.
Do you hold stock in New Zealand?
Most of our range is stocked in country. Larger products, such as the Faraday tents, device charge and storage cabinets, forensic analysis enclosures and equipment, have a manufacturing lead time and are available on request.
What currency do you quote in?
We quote and invoice in NZD, plus GST where applicable. For international procurement, we can quote in USD.
