CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Continuous airspace monitoring for fixed sites.

Perimeter fencing, camera coverage, and access control are all designed around an approach on the ground. WarDragon installs inside the enclosures already present at a site and monitors the airspace continuously, whether or not personnel are there.

The operational problem

Existing physical security investment does not extend to the airspace above the site.

Repeated overflights may indicate pre-operational surveillance, but without detection there is no record.

Remote and unstaffed sites have no one present to observe activity in the first place.

Regulators, insurers, and boards increasingly ask what an organisation’s airspace posture is.

What WarDragon delivers against it

The common thread is absence: no coverage above the fence, no record of what passed over, and often nobody on site. The system runs unattended and produces something durable enough to act on later.

Fits existing enclosures. A compact metal enclosure with a DIN-rail clip, sized for standard cabinets, pole boxes, camera and LPR housings, and surveillance trailers. It takes 12V or 24V DC and a DHCP WAN connection.

Runs unattended. Continuous monitoring across the standards drones actually use, whether or not anyone is watching, with no operator required on site.

Builds evidence. Each detection is demodulated to a unique identifier and correlated to a flight, so repeated overflights resolve into a documented pattern tied to a specific aircraft.

Scales by nodes. Extending coverage across a distributed footprint is a question of antennas and node count. Additional nodes aggregate into a single map and dashboard.

From DJI OcuSync through MAVLink, mLRS, and ELRS telemetry, WarDragon turns raw RF into identified aircraft and tracks. Encrypted DJI identification, including O4, is decoded with DragonScope. The library of supported standards grows with each software release, and every kit in the field receives it.

Specifying a system for a fixed site

Infrastructure protection is a fixed-site mission, so the Drop-In configuration is the appropriate starting point. It installs once inside an existing weatherproof enclosure, runs continuously, and needs no operator on site. Integrators commonly place it alongside equipment already in the field, including CCTV and LPR cabinets, pole boxes, rooftop housings, and surveillance trailers.

The Elite tier adds x86 processing and a second software-defined radio, with the capacity to demodulate and correlate on the device rather than passing raw signals upstream. That matters most where several nodes report into one operations centre.

Distributed assets are covered by deploying additional nodes and aggregating them into a single map and dashboard. Standard antenna configurations reach up to 5 km, and high-gain configurations extend beyond 10 km under favourable conditions, so site geometry and antenna choice determine node count. Organisations protecting multiple sites often begin at one location and expand, or add a Mobile unit for assessment work and temporary coverage during outages.

Detection is included with the kit and stays included. There is no recurring fee to keep it running and no connection to our servers. DragonScope is a separate capability rather than an unlock: it decodes encrypted DJI identification, including OcuSync 4, so a flight resolves to a serial number, a pilot location, and a takeoff point. Organisations that need attribution add it. Organisations that need to know an aircraft is there do not.

Detection without dependency.

Detection runs locally, carries no recurring fee, and does not depend on a vendor’s servers remaining available. Detections are delivered into the systems the site already operates rather than into a separate platform.
