Drone and UAV Detector «Vanilla Sugar microUSB» — By Magura MIC — a compact and reliable passive detector from the manufacturer Magura, designed to detect reconnaissance and attack unmanned aerial vehicles in field and combat conditions. The device does not emit signals and remains invisible to enemy electronic reconnaissance (SIGINT), making it an indispensable observation tool on the front line.
Features Overview
The detector supports simultaneous monitoring of four frequency bands: 865–885 MHz, 895–928 MHz, 970–1020 MHz, and 2400–2500 MHz, allowing it to detect most types of UAVs, including «Orlan», «Lancet», Zala, Supercam, Eleron, and DJI Mavic. FPV drones can also be detected if telemetry is transmitted in standard bands. Upon threat detection, the device instantly informs the operator with vibration, an audible signal, and displays information on the screen about the drone type, frequency, and signal strength — all necessary for quick decision-making.
Operating Modes and Updates
- AUTO — automatic detection of typical Russian UAVs.
- RSSI — manual frequency scanning without automatic alarms for detailed signal analysis.
- Screensaver — minimal power consumption mode for extended background operation.
Software updates are performed simply via phone: create a hotspot named spices, after which the firmware will download automatically.
Design and Ergonomics
The detector's body is equipped with protective arches around the antennas, a belt clip, a carabiner for gear, and a removable battery compartment cover. The device has compact dimensions and light weight, simplifying carrying and operation in field conditions.
