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 organization’s airspace posture is.
The cost is that an organization cannot answer the question it is being asked. A board, an insurer, or a regulator wants to know what has been over the asset; a site with no detection can only say that nobody reported anything, which is not an answer and is increasingly not accepted as one.
Small aircraft now stay airborne long enough to survey a site properly — the approaches, the camera positions, where the fence is weakest, when anyone is present. That flight is not the incident. It is the reconnaissance that precedes one, and it is the flight a site with no record never knew happened.

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.
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 it will not do
It does not jam, disable, take control of, or otherwise interfere with an aircraft. Detection is passive; the system only listens.
It does not detect an aircraft that transmits nothing at all. A fully autonomous flight with no control link is outside the reach of RF detection of any kind, ours included. Radar is the answer to that class of aircraft.
It does not determine intent, and it does not decide anything. Output is a detection record delivered to the systems you already run.
It does not extend the perimeter it is installed on. It covers the airspace above it, which the perimeter never did.
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: CCTV and LPR cabinets, pole boxes, rooftop housings, and surveillance trailers.
The Elite tier adds x86 processing and a second software-defined radio, extending coverage to FPV control and video links and open telemetry standards, with the capacity to correlate and export on the device rather than passing raw signals upstream. That matters most where several nodes report into one operations center. The second radio is fitted at manufacture and is not a later addition.
Distributed assets are covered by deploying additional nodes and aggregating them into a single map and dashboard, which is a question of node count and antenna selection rather than processing tier. Organizations 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, with no recurring fee and no connection to our servers. DragonScope is a separate capability rather than an unlock: it decodes encrypted DJI identification, including OcuSync 4, tying separate overflights to one specific aircraft. A site that has to show a pattern to a board or a regulator adds it. A site that needs continuous awareness does not. Licensed per sensor, so it scales with the array.
Detection without dependency.
A fixed site should not acquire a new external dependency in order to watch its own airspace. 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.
Passive RF detection and situational awareness only. Performance varies by RF environment, antenna placement, aircraft type, and deployment configuration.
