WarDragon Pro Quick Spectrum View on the Fly (AntSDR e200, SDR++, OpenWebRX)

In this short video, I explain one way to remotely change the operation of the AntSDR when it’s scanning for DJI DroneID. This quick walkthrough is tailored for WarDragon Pro ...kit owners and shows how you can switch back to normal (PlutoSDR like) operation, unlocking the full suite of tools available in DragonOS. Whether you're looking for Drones or just wanting to explore the Electromagnetic Spectrum, this method lets you flip between modes depending on your needs.

WarDragon Pro has matured into a ready-to-go drone detection platform, pre-configured to detect and track drones using WiFi and Bluetooth Remote ID, along with advanced capabilities to detect DroneID within ...some DJI Ocusync signals. This video focuses on setting up a TAK server, the first step in integrating WarDragon Pro into a broader situational awareness network.

Important Update

Some of my previous videos are now a bit outdated. The SniffleToTAK repo is deprecated and has been replaced by DragonSync, which is already included on WarDragon Pro.
https://github.com/alphafox02/DragonSync

How WarDragon Pro Works

When powered on, WarDragon Pro automatically starts services that provide:
- Drone detection data on port 4224 in JSON format over ZMQ
- System status information on port 4225

External or local applications can pull from these ports directly. DragonSync handles this by pulling the data, converting it to CoT, and sending it either over multicast to TAK devices on a network or securely to a TAK server.

What This Video Covers

This video walks through setting up the latest TAK server on a dedicated PC and explains how WarDragon Pro units can act as headless sensors, feeding real-time drone detection data into TAK. The goal is to create a distributed network where multiple WarDragon units send data to a central TAK server, providing shared situational awareness for connected users.
New iOS & Android App for WarDragon Pro

A third-party volunteer has been doing great work developing an app that pulls directly from WarDragon. It's already available for iOS and will soon be coming to Android. I’ll cover it in more detail in a future video, but you can check it out here:
https://github.com/Root-Down-Digital/DragonSync-iOS

Next Steps – DragonSync Setup & Usage

In a follow-on video, I’ll be covering the setup and usage of DragonSync, showing how to configure it to pull data from WarDragon Pro and send it to TAK.

More to come—stay tuned!

In this first part of my two-part series, I walk through the initial setup of the WarDragon Pro platform, explaining how to configure it for out-of-the-box drone detection and feed ...that information offline into Tar1090. This approach lets me visualize both drone and ADS-B data side by side for a complete airspace picture.

The WarDragon Pro is built to function as a dedicated sensor, using every available method to detect various drone technologies. Along with identifying and displaying drones, it can also pinpoint the pilot’s location—all accessible through a user-friendly interface.

In Part 2, I’ll showcase a custom iOS app, developed by an awesome contributor supporting the project, which can connect to the WarDragon Pro’s IP address (as long as it’s on the same network) without any extra setup—mapping and displaying live data seamlessly. For those looking for more advanced configurations, I’ll also detail how to run an application on the WarDragon Pro that broadcasts multicast data in Cursor on Target (CoT) format across your network for ATAK, iTAK, or securely to a TAK server—enabling powerful, headless operation scenarios. The custom iOS can also be configured to listen for multicast as well.

And lastly, even though the WarDragon Pro focuses on sensor integration, you can still run the AntSDR hardware as a normal SDR. By taking advantage of the open-source spectrum tools included in DragonOS, you can monitor, scan, and experiment with a broad range of RF signals. Stay tuned for Part 2!

Additional Notes
I failed to screen record, so if you can’t see it in the zoomed-in video, the flightview_gui is located at /usr/src/flightview_gui. You can start it with:
sudo python3 flightview_gui.py
(Note that this requires a graphical display.) Alternatively, you can install openssh-server, configure SSH, then manually edit the tar1090 Docker with your location and time zone changes, and bring up the Docker that way.

In this video, I’m thrilled to introduce the WarDragon Pro Kit—a versatile, advanced drone detection system that goes beyond just Bluetooth and Wi-Fi based Remote ID. Remote ID, sometimes called ...the “digital license plate” of drones, broadcasts crucial flight information so that security teams, law enforcement, and other stakeholders can monitor drone activity in real time.

Key Highlights
Multi-Protocol Drone Detection

While the WarDragon Pro excels at detecting BT and Wi-Fi Remote IDs, it’s also equipped with an ANTSDR e200 capable of detecting DJI’s Drone ID—and new firmware (coming soon) aims to identify various other drone video/data links.
Long-Range Coverage & Expandable Hardware

With specialized antennas, LNAs, and BPFs, the WarDragon Pro can detect signals from several kilometers away. This customizable hardware approach allows you to fine-tune for specific frequencies or strengthen range based on your application.
TAK/ATAK Integration & Third-Party iOS App

The internal computer stats and GPS location of the WarDragon Pro can seamlessly interface with TAK/ATAK, delivering real-time data for situational awareness.
A third-party developer named Luke is working on an iOS app that connects directly to the WarDragon Pro’s ZMQ servers or via multicast, making deployment more flexible in diverse operating environments.
Future-Ready & Highly Adaptable

From law enforcement to commercial drone monitoring, the WarDragon Pro’s modular design means continuous expansion with firmware updates. You’ll be prepared to detect emerging drone signals and protocols as they evolve.
Whether you’re involved in drone security, search & rescue, or simply need to keep an eye on drone activity, the WarDragon Pro Kit is a next-level solution that’s built to adapt and grow with the changing landscape of UAV technology. Watch the video to see it in action and learn more about its cutting-edge features.

Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to subscribe for more updates on WarDragon Pro and the future of drone detection technology!
