Description
WarDragon Elite Enclosure Kit is the WarDragon Elite Drop-In Kit supplied complete in its own enclosure with a power system, ready for pole or fixed mounting. It is an embedded passive RF sensor carrying the full Elite detection set. It monitors the airspace above the site, identifies drone communications across supported protocols including analog FPV video and long-range telemetry and control links, and publishes detections as CoT to an operating picture or a customer-selected endpoint. Where the Drop-In Kit is installed inside a housing already at the site, the Enclosure Kit brings its own enclosure and power system, so it can be mounted on a pole or fixed structure and run continuously with nobody present.
Detection runs on the device and is included permanently. No subscription, cloud connection, or vendor platform is required for the system to operate, and software releases extending protocol coverage are available to kits already in the field on request. The x86 processor has the capacity to correlate and export on the device rather than passing raw signals upstream, which matters where several nodes report into one operations center.
Intended for integrators, critical infrastructure operators, facilities and campuses, public safety installations, and multi-node array deployments.
Detection coverage
| Signal | Band | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Remote ID, Wi-Fi | 2.4 / 5 GHz | Detect and decode |
| Remote ID, Bluetooth | 2.4 GHz | Detect and decode |
| DJI OcuSync 2 / 3 | 2.4 / 5.8 GHz | Detect and decode |
| DJI OcuSync 4 | 2.4 / 5.8 GHz | Detect and correlate per flight; decode with DragonScope |
| Analog FPV video | 5 GHz race bands | Detected, second SDR |
| Telemetry and control links | 900 MHz and multi-band | Detected, and decoded where the link allows; second SDR |
DJI aircraft are identified through OcuSync activity even where Remote ID is absent or disabled.
The kit ships with a paddle antenna set; site-specific antennas are quoted per deployment.
Data output
Detections are published as CoT, the message format used by TAK and TAK-compatible systems. The kit is software agnostic and requires no proprietary display layer.
| Destination | Detail |
|---|---|
| Local, standalone | Operates with no network and no subscription |
| ATAK / TAK | CoT to a TAK-compatible operating picture |
| WarDragon Analytics | One node or an array to a central map and dashboard |
| 4DV Analytics | Detection events forwarded where configured |
| Customer endpoint | Existing middleware, analytics platform, or command-center ingestion |
The kit accepts a wired or cellular network connection. Carrier and site network service are provided by the customer.
System and deployment
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Processor | WarDragon Elite x86, DragonOS preloaded |
| Radios | WarDragon SDR; second software-defined radio; dual-band Wi-Fi adapter; Bluetooth 5 Long Range adapter |
| Antennas | Standard paddle set, external SMA connections |
| Power | Power system included |

| Enclosure | Dedicated enclosure ready for pole or fixed mounting |
Options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| DragonScope Drone ID Service | Decodes encrypted DJI identification including OcuSync 4, for serial-number attribution, pilot location, and takeoff point. Annual, licensed per sensor. Internet connectivity required for O4 telemetry. |
| Cellular WAN upgrade | Router for cellular connectivity. Carrier service, SIM, and data plan not included. |
| Antenna packages | Omnidirectional and directional options to extend, shape, or sector coverage around facilities, rooflines, poles, trailers, towers, and perimeters. Quoted per deployment. |
| Multi-Antenna Mount | Pole-mounted platform carrying one to six antennas with quick-release mounting. |
| Integration support | Configuration for ATAK, 4DV Analytics, WarDragon Analytics, or a customer endpoint. Quoted per deployment. |
Kit selection
Elite and Pro differ in radio count and concurrent processing capacity. Elite runs x86 processing with a second software-defined radio, covering analog FPV video and long-range telemetry and control links in addition to Remote ID and DJI identification. Pro runs ARM processing with a single radio. The second radio is fitted at manufacture and is not a field upgrade. Software releases extend protocol coverage; FPV and telemetry coverage requires the Elite second radio.
Mobile, Drop-In, and Enclosure kits differ in deployment method. Mobile ships in a hardened carry case and requires no site installation. Drop-In is a DIN-rail enclosure for installation inside existing infrastructure. Enclosure ships complete with its own enclosure and power system for pole or fixed mounting. All run the same platform, and coverage area is extended by antenna selection and by adding nodes that aggregate into a single operating picture.
For the same detection set installed inside existing infrastructure, see the WarDragon Elite Drop-In Kit. For the same enclosure on ARM processing without the second radio, see the WarDragon Pro Enclosure Kit.
Detection performance varies by RF environment, antenna placement and height, aircraft type, protocol behavior, line of sight, and deployment configuration. Documentation and setup guides are published on the support page. Use of WarDragon kits and the DragonScope service is subject to our terms.
