Mavic and Various UAV Drone Detector "Vanilla Sugar" Type-C — by Magura VPK
"Vanilla Sugar" by Magura is a compact, portable passive drone detector specifically designed for the rapid detection of enemy unmanned aerial vehicles and for enhancing the safety of military units and specialized teams on the front line. The device operates exclusively in passive mode and does not emit radio signals, making it undetectable by enemy electronic reconnaissance (SIGINT) systems. "Vanilla Sugar" effectively registers signals from various UAV models, including Orlan, Zala, Eleron, Lancet, Supercam, DJI Mavic, and FPV drones (provided they use standard telemetry on common frequencies). Upon detecting an aircraft, the device instantly notifies the user with an audible and vibratory signal and displays information about the drone type and signal level on the screen.
Key Features
- Simultaneous scanning of four frequency bands:
▸ 865–885 MHz
▸ 895–928 MHz
▸ 970–1020 MHz
▸ 2400–2500 MHz. If necessary, the bands can be changed via the device menu when using appropriate antennas. - Passive operation: the detector does not emit signals, thus remaining undetectable by SIGINT.
- Fast reaction: instant audible and vibratory alarms along with on-screen information allow for prompt response to threats.
- Durable construction and portability: shock-resistant arches protect the antennas; the body features a clip and carabiner for attachment to gear; the battery compartment is easy to open.
