DETECT · IDENTIFY · LOCATE · TRACK
You see what is transmitting.
WarDragon is a passive RF sensor that demodulates supported drone communications, resolving them to identified aircraft, operator locations, and live tracks. Detections are delivered into TAK or the platform you already operate, and detection runs on the device with no cloud connection and no recurring fee.

What it costs to not know
A flight that is never recorded cannot be investigated. Staffing and post assignments get made against a pattern nobody has measured, because there is no record of when activity actually happens or where. And when something does go wrong, the first indication is usually the object on the ground rather than the aircraft that delivered it.
The flight that causes a problem is also rarely the first one. Small aircraft now stay airborne long enough to survey a site properly — the approaches, the camera positions, when anyone is present. That flight is not the incident; it is the reconnaissance that precedes one, and a site with no detection never knew it happened.
Detect it. Identify it. Locate it. Track it.
WarDragon does more than report that RF energy is present. It demodulates supported drone communications to extract unique identifiers, aircraft position, pilot location, home point, and live flight telemetry, which is intelligence an operator can act on rather than an alert someone still has to investigate.
Coverage is not limited to Remote ID. WarDragon receives Remote ID broadcasts over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, identifies DJI OcuSync activity, and on Elite kits covers FPV control and video links and open telemetry standards through a second software-defined radio. The demodulation library grows with each software release and reaches kits already in the field.
Detection distance comes from antenna selection, height, placement, line of sight, and the RF environment rather than from the processor inside the kit. Antennas are specified per site.
What no RF instrument sees, ours included, is an aircraft that transmits nothing at all — a fully autonomous flight with no control link. Radar is the answer to that class. Detection is also passive throughout: the system listens, and does not jam, disable, or take control of anything.

Detection is included, permanently.
Baseline detection runs locally and independently, with no recurring fee and no connection to our servers. DragonScope is an optional annual addition where you need serial-number attribution and pilot location. Without it, the system still detects those aircraft and correlates them per flight.
Detection you own, on software you choose
A detection kit needs software to be useful. Ours is built so that software can be yours. Detections publish in an open format, the sensor runs on its own hardware, and the price is on the product page, which together put covering a site within reach of a single budget line.
Same detection, different builds
Mobile deploys from a vehicle or command post within minutes of arrival. Drop-In installs inside housings already in the field, including CCTV and LPR cabinets, pole boxes, and surveillance trailers. Pro runs ARM processing. Elite adds x86 processing and a second software-defined radio, extending coverage to FPV control and video links and open telemetry standards. The second radio is fitted at manufacture and is not a later addition.
Built for the situation you are in
Each page covers the operational problem in that environment, what it costs when it goes unseen, and how to specify a configuration.
Public Safety
Airspace awareness across a jurisdiction rather than one site, deployed by the team using it.
Corrections
Continuous monitoring over facilities and yards, where drone delivery is a persistent problem.
Event Security
Temporary coverage for venues and gatherings, deployed for the event and removed afterward.
Critical Infrastructure
Persistent awareness over plants, substations, and sites that need watching around the clock.
DragonOS
The open-source foundation for software-defined radio
DragonOS is the globally adopted Linux platform that puts a comprehensive ecosystem of open-source RF and SDR tools in one ready-to-use environment. Free to download, community supported, and used by SDR enthusiasts, developers, researchers, and RF professionals around the world.
DragonOS is free, open, and independent of anything sold here. It is where this work started and it is not a lead magnet.
