Ordering, prices, availability

How do I buy the equipment?
Sales are by request: add the product, leave your contact details, and a manager will get in touch to agree on the configuration, payment and delivery. There is no online cart or payment on the site — it is safer and more precise for your task.
How much does VANGUARD equipment cost?
KOZHAN 4.0 drone detector — UAH 29,000 (UAH 36,000 with a remote antenna, UAH 33,000 with an external display, UAH 40,000 with both), KOZHAN 3.0 — UAH 16,000. The remote antenna separately — UAH 7,000. Thermal imaging camera — UAH 25,000 (fixed or rotating). EW systems: DOKATKA — from UAH 120,000, HYDRA 2U — from UAH 200,000, KRAKEN — from UAH 250,000, DELFIN — from UAH 300,000. A manager will confirm the current price for your configuration.
What does the price of an EW system depend on?
The “from” price is for the base configuration; the final price is determined by three parameters. Number of bands: each one is a separate jamming module with an amplifier, filters and an antenna, so the cost grows with every channel. Transmitter power (25–100 W per module): it determines the suppression radius and the ability to overpower a strong drone control signal, and a more powerful module needs costlier amplifiers, cooling and more power. Completeness of the power system: a 200 Ah LiFePO4 battery, vehicle and mains charging — this determines autonomous operation at the position. EW systems comparison and prices.
Can I change the configuration?
Yes. For products with a configurator you choose the version or options (for example, a remote antenna or an external display for the KOZHAN 4.0 detector or the fixed or rotating version of the thermal imager) — the price is recalculated automatically.
Is the equipment in stock?
The KOZHAN 4.0 detector and the remote antenna are in stock. The rest of the equipment (KOZHAN 3.0, EW systems, thermal imaging camera) is made to order in 3–5 days. The current status is shown on the product card.

Detectors and surveillance

What is a drone detector and how does it work?
A drone detector is a device that scans radio-frequency bands and detects UAV control and video signals, alerting the operator by sound and on screen before visual contact. The KOZHAN 4.0 detector works in 4 bands (900–8200 MHz), detects drones from 3 km, scans in up to 7 seconds and runs autonomously for up to 12 hours.
Which frequency bands does KOZHAN 4.0 detect?
KOZHAN 4.0 scans 4 bands (1G / 3G / 5G / 6G): 900–1800, 2700–4500, 4850–6150 and 6000–8200 MHz. Detection range — from 3 km, three automatic scanning modes, signal log, Wi-Fi software updates. A compatible EW system can be auto-started on a detected target.
How does KOZHAN 3.0 differ from KOZHAN 4.0?
Primarily in the 6G band: KOZHAN 3.0 scans 3 bands (1G / 3G / 5G), without 6000–8200 MHz, and its 3G is 2700–4150 MHz (up to 4500 MHz in 4.0); detection range is from 3 km for KOZHAN 4.0 and from 2 km for KOZHAN 3.0; the other specifications are the same. KOZHAN 3.0 costs UAH 16,000, KOZHAN 4.0 — UAH 29,000. Detailed detector comparison.
Can drones and vehicles be detected at night?
Yes. The VANGUARD thermal imaging camera (uncooled VOx sensor 256 × 192, spectral range 8–14 µm, 50 Hz frame rate) shows people and vehicles in complete darkness and in difficult conditions. Fixed and rotating versions are available; a 10–50 m connecting cable keeps the camera away from the operator, in cover.
Why is a remote antenna needed for a KOZHAN detector?
The remote antenna separates the detector's receiving antennas from the operator unit — onto a mast, shelter or fixed post. This gives more stable reception and a longer detection range. It is compatible with KOZHAN detectors and costs UAH 7,000 (or can be chosen as an option for KOZHAN 4.0).

EW systems (counter-UAV)

How does a detector differ from an EW system?
A detector (KOZHAN) only detects UAVs and communication channels and alerts the operator — it jams nothing. An EW system (KRAKEN, HYDRA 2U, DOKATKA, DELFIN) actively suppresses a drone's control, video, data and navigation channels. The best result comes from combining them: the detector sees the target, the EW system neutralizes it.
What is an EW system (electronic warfare)?
An EW system suppresses UAV radio channels — control, video, data transmission and satellite navigation — by creating directional interference in a defined band. VANGUARD systems operate in the 300–6000 MHz range (depending on the model) and come as stationary, mobile or camouflaged systems.
Which EW system should I choose?
In short, by task: KRAKEN is a modular system for stationary positions (300–4100 MHz, 25–50 W per 100 MHz, directional antennas). HYDRA 2U is a mobile system in a 19″ rack for heavy vehicles and command vehicles (300–6000 MHz, 8–20 channels, 50 W per band). DOKATKA is disguised as a truck wheel for covert deployment (300–6000 MHz, up to 12 bands). DELFIN is disguised as the roof of a civilian car for logistics and the “grey zone” (300–6000 MHz, up to 13 modules). All support auto-start from a KOZHAN detector. Detailed EW systems comparison.
Does the equipment work against FPV drones?
Yes. EW systems suppress control and video channels, including the frequencies common to FPV drones; a manager selects the specific set of bands and power for the current threat. The KOZHAN detector warns in advance of an approaching FPV by its radio signal.
Can the EW system be switched on automatically by the detector signal?
Yes. The KOZHAN detector transmits a target signal and a compatible EW system switches on automatically (auto-start) — this reduces the operator's manual work and shortens reaction time. Compatibility is listed on each product page.
