WarDragon is built around DJI signals and Remote ID, with Elite adding FPV and telemetry coverage. This article sets expectations for aircraft from other manufacturers and for deployments outside North America.
Aircraft from other manufacturers
Coverage for other manufacturers’ aircraft comes mainly through Remote ID, where the aircraft supports it. WarDragon does not decode other manufacturers’ proprietary control links. An aircraft that broadcasts Remote ID is detected and decoded on every kit. One that does not is covered only if it uses one of the link types the Elite second radio watches.
What Elite adds
On Elite kits the second radio detects analog FPV video and long-range telemetry and control links. Where a link carries telemetry that is not encrypted, the information can be recovered within seconds rather than the kit simply reporting that energy is present.
Where DragonScope applies
DragonScope is focused on DJI OcuSync. It resolves encrypted DJI identification on OcuSync 4 and newer and applies only to DJI. It is not needed for OcuSync 2 and 3, which decode locally.
Outside North America
Radio band plans differ by region, and some of the frequencies the second radio monitors may need to be adjusted for yours. Ask about your region before you specify a system. Delivery outside the United States has its own requirements; see International orders.
