5km Handheld Drone Detector Drone Detection System Supports All DJI Series Tracking Detection 360° Full Airspace Drone Detector

Detection Output & Screen Data

• Band and identity. Each contact is listed with the frequency band it is using and the aircraft's serial number, so two drones in the air at once are told apart instead of merging into a single alert.
• Bearing and distance. The display shows the direction the aircraft is coming from and how far away it is, together with the latitude and longitude of the contact, so a patrol can be sent to the right approach.
• Altitude. Height is reported with the position, which separates an aircraft crossing a boundary from one hovering over a yard or a roof.
• Controller position. The unit also locates the pilot's remote controller — often the more useful target for a ground response team.
• Multi-target tracks. Each aircraft in range gets its own colour on the tracking view, so several flight paths stay readable at once during a busy event or a shift change.

Coverage & Detection Range

Coverage runs a full 360° around the unit, so nobody has to aim it or sweep the sky — it can stand on a wall, a table or a vehicle roof while the operator watches the display. Detection distance runs from roughly 1 km to 6 km, and where you land inside that window depends on the site as much as on the aircraft: open ground with little competing radio traffic sits at the top of the range, while a dense urban site or a venue full of wireless equipment sits lower. Larger airframes with stronger transmitters are normally picked up further out than small FPV-style builds.

Response time is between one and six seconds depending on the environment and the model being tracked, and the system holds at least five aircraft at once, so a swarm or a decoy pair does not overwhelm the display. For DJI drones, reported positions are accurate to about 10 m — close enough to send a patrol to a specific gate, building or parked vehicle.

Specifications

Deployment & Daily Operation

1. Set the case on a stable, level surface with a clear view of the sky, open the lid, raise the antennas and check that every connector is seated.
2. Switch on and let the unit settle: confirm the battery level and that the monitoring screen has loaded before the shift starts.
3. Brief the operator on what counts as an unknown contact and where the report goes — control room, gatehouse or patrol leader — so the first alert is acted on rather than just seen.
4. Reposition if the picture looks thin. A few metres of height, or moving the case away from a metal container wall, can change what the antennas hear on a cluttered site.
5. At the end of the shift, close the screen, lower the antennas, latch the case and put the battery back on charge for the next deployment.

Applications & Site Types

• Events and stadiums. Counter UAS teams at festivals, races and match days watch the approach corridors around a temporary perimeter that has no fixed installation behind it.
• Airports and no-fly zones. It covers gaps left by works, runway closures or one-off events, keeping an operator on the boundary roads and approach paths.
• Borders and long perimeters. Patrols carry it between fixed sensor positions to confirm an alert and pass a vehicle crew the height, direction and controller position.
• Prisons and corrections. A duty officer at the wall sees where a contraband drop is heading, not where it landed.
• Energy and industrial sites. Wind farms, substations and terminal fences are long and quiet, which suits a unit that moves between gates and laydown areas during the day.
• Integrators and multi-site work. Anti drone companies and system integrators often take this as the mobile element of a larger site package, re-deployed wherever the next job needs it.

Configuration & Ordering Notes

1. Tell us where the unit will work and how often it will move. A venue that changes every week needs a different set-up from a gatehouse that stays put for a season.
2. Plan the power for long deployments: for a control room, gatehouse or vehicle installation an external AC/DC supply is available and can be customized to the site, so tell us what power you have where the case will live.
3. Ask what travels in the case. The detector unit, its antennas and the control cable ship together in the same protective case, so a deployment needs nothing extra packed.
4. If the unit is going into a wider anti drone solution, say so at the enquiry stage so it is supplied to suit the installation.
5. Tell us if this is one site or a multi-site rollout: on larger builds we work alongside anti drone companies and can match configuration, labelling and documentation to the package. Ask for current production and shipping timings when you request your quote.
