DETECT · IDENTIFY · LOCATE · TRACK

A detection sensor you can put anywhere.

WarDragon is a passive radio-frequency sensor that demodulates supported drone communications and delivers identified aircraft, operator locations, and live tracks into the systems you already operate. It runs on the device, without a cloud connection, and detection carries no recurring fee.

Detection, with no recurring fee

Detect it. Identify it. Locate it. Track it.

WarDragon does more than report that RF energy is present. It demodulates supported drone communications to extract unique identifiers, aircraft position, pilot location, home point, and live flight telemetry, which is intelligence an operator can act on rather than an alert someone still has to investigate.

Detect. Continuous passive monitoring across the standards drones actually use, including aircraft that never broadcast Remote ID and are invisible to a receiver watching only for it.

Identify. Demodulation rather than energy detection. Supported communications resolve to unique identifiers, so an aircraft is a specific aircraft rather than an unexplained return.

Locate. Aircraft position, pilot location, and home point where the transmission carries them, which is what turns a contact into somewhere a unit can be sent.

Track. Live flight telemetry correlated across the duration of a flight and published as CoT into the operating picture your team already runs.

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.

RANGE

Distance is an antenna decision.

Standard antenna configurations detect a wide range of drone signals at estimated distances of up to 5 km. High-gain configurations extend detection beyond 10 km under favourable conditions. These are estimates rather than specifications: RF environment, antenna height, line of sight, and aircraft type all materially affect what a given installation achieves.

Coverage is shaped as well as extended. Omnidirectional antennas cover a site evenly, directional antennas concentrate sensitivity along an approach or a boundary, and the WarDragon Multi-Antenna Mount supports up to six antennas on a single pole for larger or more complex footprints. Additional nodes aggregate into one picture.

Pro and Elite

The tier sets how much the sensor can work on at once. Both tiers receive the same expanding demodulation library through software updates; Elite has the radio hardware and processing headroom to run more of it concurrently.

	Pro	Elite
Processing	ARM	x86, with headroom for concurrent demodulation and on-device correlation
Radios	Software-defined radio, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth	Adds a second software-defined radio
Remote ID	Wi-Fi and Bluetooth	Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Extended standards	Supported as released	Wider concurrent coverage, including FPV control and video links and open telemetry standards
Output	CoT to TAK, WarDragon Analytics, 4DV, or your endpoint	CoT to TAK, WarDragon Analytics, 4DV, or your endpoint

Mobile and Drop-In

The form factor sets how the sensor is deployed. Both run the same platform, so an organisation can operate a mix without training staff on two systems.

Mobile. A hardened carry case with external antenna and GPS connections, integrated cooling, and a locking power connector. Runs on 12V or 24V DC from a vehicle adapter or on 120V AC, and is operational within minutes of arrival.

Drop-In. A compact metal enclosure with a DIN-rail clip, built to install inside housings already in the field: CCTV and LPR cabinets, pole boxes, rooftop enclosures, and surveillance trailers. Takes 12V or 24V DC and a DHCP WAN connection.

Where the detections go

The kit needs software to be useful, and we do not insist it is ours. Detections publish as CoT, the message format TAK and TAK-compatible systems already use, so they arrive in the operating picture your team is trained on rather than in a separate application.

Detections can route to a TAK-based picture, to WarDragon Analytics for aggregating nodes into a central map and dashboard, to 4DV Analytics where that workflow is in use, or to an endpoint of your own such as existing middleware or a command-centre ingestion path. Where an organisation has no system to route into, options are available and configured as part of the deployment.

Every WarDragon system is priced on its product page. There is no quote gate and no discovery call required before a number is available.

Detection is included, permanently.

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.
