Features

• Real-Time Airspace Monitoring
  Keep an eye on the status and location of Remote ID-compliant drones on your iOS device. You can see their flight paths and get all the decoded data from any RID broadcast. Everything in the app is updated in real time.

• Spoof Detection Refined algorithms to spot any unusual patterns in flight data. It gives you a confidence score and all the juicy details when it detects spoofing.

  

• MAC Randomization Alerts Associates all addresses to the origin ID for full source transparency.

  

• Transmission Identification Decodes the source information and displays the type of signal (WiFi, Bluetooth, or SDR) it originated from, along with the corresponding MAC addresses.

  

• Instant System Alerts
  Keep an eye on your system’s performance and location with real-time updates. You’ll get info on memory, GPS, CPU, temperature, and more. WarDragon Pro even shows ANTSDR dio temperatures.

• Encounter History Stores seen drones automatically. Search, review and export CSV & KML files. View flight data & more by selecting it from the History tab.

  

• Detect the Undetectable:

  SDR-Powered Drone Detection & Decoding with WarDragon Pro- Support for Ocusync and other difficult signals

OcuSync's advanced frequency-hopping and encrypted communication make it nearly invisible to standard detection tools.

• Seamless WarDragon Integration
  Designed to work seamlessly with the WarDragon DragonOS platform, it can also be used with other applications that use the same stack as WarDragon Pro. It comes with a user-friendly interface that’s ready to use out of the box.

• Flexible Protocol Support
  Supports ZMQ and Multicast configurations, tailored to your operational needs.

Usage

Note

It's important to be using the latest versions of @alphafox02 DroneID and DragonSync repos listed above.

To update, navigate to the folders in the WarDragon directory in the home directory of the dragon (or in your location) using the command line. Run git pull inside both.

Connection

The app supports two connection formats:

ZMQ Server (JSON)

• Recommended Includes all data available. Easy setup with direct ZMQ connection and minimal configuration.

Multicast (CoT)

• Experimental Limited data compared to ZMQ. Lacks data needed for ID Type and many other features. Needs additional script running and network setup for multicast. Supports multiple sources at once on same network.

Using Direct ZMQ

• Ensure that your device is connected to the same network as your WarDragon or host system.
• Launch the app & choose ZMQ from settings
• Tap the address and enter the IP of the WarDragon or host system
  • If not using WarDragon, start the zmq_decoder, WiFi/BT sniffer, and wardragon_monitor scripts from the DroneID and DragonSync repos
• Start the listener
• Status and drone detection will happen automatically for WarDragon.

Multicast: CoT Data Only

• Start dragonsync.py and wardragon-monitor.py from the DragonSync repo.
• From the DroneId repo start zmq_decoder.py and WiFi/BT sniffer.

Refer to dragonsync.py for detailed instructions & commands

Detection

Once activated, detected drones appear in the Drones and History tabs.

Drones View

• Tap the map to view a live feed of drone flight paths from the current session. Select the text to open the detail view, which displays collected data, including takeoff and operator locations when available.

Encounter History

• Swipe left on each row to delete it. To export a CSV file or delete the history, use the icon in the top right corner.
• Select a row to visualize the flight data. To export a KML file or change the map style, use the icon in the top right corner.

Settings

Warning dials set the value at which dashboard elements change or appear. These differ from the static defaults in the status view.

• Temps and usage will show red when settings are exceeded
• Drones nearby warning is based on the proximity warning value.
